Texas Senate Makes “Secure Communities” Mandatory

Texas Senate Makes “Secure Communities” Mandatory...SB9 - Senate approved what some lawmakers called the most significant piece of homeland security legislation filed this session, a measure civil liberty groups worry is a major encroachment on civil rights..bill would require all law enforcement agencies to adopt Secure Communities, a program administered by Immigration and Customs Enforcement, in which local law enforcement compares the fingerprints of those arrested to a DHS database to determine if the individual can be deported.

It would establish an automatic license-plate reader pilot program for vehicles used by DPS officers, and it allows DPS to commission special unit of Texas Rangers to, among other things, conduct background checks, monitor sex offenders and assist during disasters.

Los Angeles, CA: Unlicensed drivers (ILLEGALS): Impounding is not the answer according to Police Chief Charlie Beck... Beck said the old policy cast too wide a net and suggested that it disproportionately penalized illegal aliens, who are barred by law from getting driver's licenses.. Unlicensed drivers, including illegal aliens, shouldn't be on the road. But impounding their cars is not the answer. A far better solution would be to enact legislation to allow all illegal aliens — without regard to their status — to apply for driver's licenses.

Tucson, AZ: Public School District (TUSD) Violates La Raza Studies Ban (HB 2281)

Tucson, AZ: Public School District (TUSD) Violates La Raza Studies Ban (HB 2281)...TUSD in Arizona is violating a new state law by continuing a radical La Raza studies program banned under the legislation because it segregates students by race, teaches disdain for American sovereignty and ignites racial hostility.. After a thorough examination, the district’s own statisticians found that students in the Mexican studies program DID NOT perform any better than those who didn’t take the classes. The findings led a local newspaper columnist to write that the “bogus arguments” for ethnic studies have finally been “debunked” and that the claims were the only meaningful rational for the controversial program’s existence.
