One more little bit of information for your mill.
This year in Texas there was a STRONG effort by conservatives in the legislature to end sanctuary cities here. That effort was put to death by our “republican” Speaker of the House (Joe Strauss, San Antonio) and, some say, Governor Perry.
This year, Perry made a crackdown on sanctuary cities an “emergency” priority in recently concluded sessions of the Texas Legislature, but the legislation never passed.
I think he said it was pointless and a waste of money to have another special session this year.
