As I explained laws in section 8 of Federal Code stipulates that all foreigners here must carry their green card with them at all times.This occurred before 9-11.This has ZERO to do with the TSA groping issue.Americans have every right to know who is moving around amongst them in light of 9-11 especially. Asking for ID is not obtrusive we all get asked for such proofs everyday. There is no logic in your arguments.
Perry left town and did not push for this bill.He also pulled an E-Verify bill written by a staffmember. I know the lobbyist who was in Austin tracking all immigration-related bills.She herself is hispanic.
Perry was having back surgery.
this is what he said about the bill:
Perry:
“Texas owes it to the brave law enforcement officials, who put their lives on the line every day to protect our families and communities, to give them the discretion they need to adequately do their jobs,” Perry said in a statement. “Abolishing sanctuary cities in Texas, using the federal Secure Communities program and ensuring that only individuals who are here legally can obtain a valid Texas driver’s license sends a clear message that Texas will not turn a blind eye to those breaking our laws.”-——————
They passed the drivers license id passed.
But it was struck down by a Federal Judge.
The Sanctuary City bill failed
The voter id did get through and is law in Texas.
