Texas Hispanic senators (Dems) gearing up for bitter fight on Sanctuary City Bill

Texas Hispanic senators (Dems) gearing up for bitter fight on Sanctuary City Bill...The bill would give most police officers the right to question detained people about their immigration status and prohibit cities from adopting policies that ban the practice. Supporters include Republican Gov. Rick Perry. They say it's needed to stop crime committed by illegal aliens. Critics say it would lead to racial profiling and allow police to harass Latinos. A Senate hearing on the bill is scheduled Wednesday in the Committee on Transportation and Homeland Security
