Anti-Sanctuary City Bill Added To Special Session Call!

An urgent post from www.ircot.com about state immigration enforcement effortsin Texas. This follows this post about the Supreme Court's latest E-Verify ruling.  This follows this post about congressional redistricting and this follows this post which shows that there are 30,000 openly illegal immigrants in the border town of El Paso, where President Barack Obama recently bashed immigration enforcement! On a related note, you can read about Miss Kentucky Latina here, an interesting article about Jessica Alba here or another article about Salma Hayek here.

Anti-Sanctuary City Bill Added To Special Session Call!




Legislators will now be able to take up special session legislation that would prohibit sanctuary cities, require local police to enroll in the federal Secure Communities program, and crack down on the issuance of driver's licenses to illegal aliens. See the Governor's proclamation.



With a special session, the timeframe is much more condensed and you can count on hearings to occur possibly as early as next week.







We expect that the House State Affairs Committee and the Senate Transportation and Homeland Security Committee will get the bill and will be conducting hearings. For now, you can call members of both these Committees. Let them know "they must pass a strong bill to address the sanctuary policies in our cities. Our police officers are counting on the passage of this important law!"











Senate Transportation and Homeland Security Committee. Please support Anti-Sanctuary City Legislation!

Tell Gov. Perry, Legislators To Pass E-Verify Bill in Addition to Other Immigration-Enforcement Legislation











Gov. Perry's proclamation expanding the special session agenda excludes E-Verify! The anti-sanctuary city bill is only half of the solution. By not eliminating the job magnet with E-Verify , the flow of illegal aliens across our border will continue.



We need to convince Gov. Perry to add E-Verify to the agenda for the special session, and persuade legislators to support all of the enforcement legislation under consideration. Please follow the instructions below for contacting Gov. Perry and your legislators.



Action for Gov. Perry



Please call and email Gov. Perry with the message:



"Thank you for adding immigration-enforcement legislation to the special session. Now please add an E-Verify bill like HB 1275. In the wake of the U.S. Supreme Court ruling, Texans want a mandatory E-Verify law for all employers NOW!"
