| Immigration issues are the purview of the federal government, however with Congress’ inability to pass immigration reform states have increasingly began legislating in the area of immigration. The Senate Hispanic Caucus has consistently been opposed to policies that encourage the potentially illegal enforcement of federal immigration laws by local or state law enforcement. The Senate Hispanic Caucus continues to encourage Congress to pass immigration reform that will fix our broken immigration system. We will continue to work with the statewide coalitions of business leaders, border city leaders, students, teachers, civil rights leaders, faith based organizations, and law enforcement on policies that impact immigrants of all statuses in Texas.
For more information on these coalitions and the policies they recommend check out the links below: |
