Texas lawmakers study immigration crackdown – again
Tagged: border, police, Texas
Conservative Texas legislators made it clear Monday they’ll again push for strict state laws to crack down on illegal immigration when lawmakers convene in January.
A chief area they’re likely to concentrate on is encouraging local police departments to work with U.S. officials to enforce federal immigration laws, which the House State Affairs Committee is studying.
“The fact of the matter is, our borders are broken,” said Republican Rep. Debbie Riddle of Tomball, urging lawmakers in 2009 to battle illegal immigration. “My district, and I think the people of Texas, are demanding action.”"*
