Fight Against Texas Immigration Law Case Analysis

“Federal government decisions about immigration have always been upheld by the US Supreme Court, which overruled attempts for any state to have a say regarding immigration”(Find-Law 2). Typically the state of Texas laws regarding immigration have to do with employment, education, licensing, and state benefits. Even though federal government has the majority of the say regarding the laws of immigration, they have to be able to know when they need to back off. Every state requires different laws when dealing with immigration laws. Almost every Texas state law that has to do with immigration is challenged either by the Federal government or civil liberties groups. The federal government does not like the idea of having different laws

Today in Texas and the United States, there has been many issues that involve immigration. Many people assume that they are taking the U.S. citizens jobs which is causing many to lose their jobs or the insufficient amount of jobs there are. Or how they don’t belong here, and they should “go back to where they belong.” There are some pros and cons of having immigrants in the state of Texas, and if there is a way to compromise on this subject of if they should be allowed here or not. Also, if the state of Texas should have any play in the immigration policy. After reading the passage “Immigration in Texas” and the arguments both state senators Dan Patrick and Julio Castro were both very persuasive.

For years to decades’ immigrations has been an issue and maybe in some way a solution to big business gain. Is a real way to fix it or find a balance? It has been and will always be an ongoing subject with politics to come. Since the 1800s Texas borders has had a large population of undocumented immigrants. Though in the current century it does not have the high population with undocumented immigrant now, it is a targeted border for migration.

Texas. In 2014 president Obama announced a set of immigration actions that offered certain immigrants the ability to apply for temporary protection from deportation. The Act targeted immigrant who came to the U.S. as children and have lived here their entire lives. The action would keep millions of families together. However, soon after the initiatives were announced Texas and 25 other sate sued the federal to prevent this implementation. The states argued the administration has overstepped its legal authority to enforce the immigration law. On January 19, 2016 the Supreme Court announced it would accept the case. The Supreme Court accepted the case based off a few reasons. First, the Justices decided this case brought up several federal law questions with the government overstepping their boundaries. Lastly, there was an inconsistency between the Fifth Circuit court and U.S. District Court with two different rulings on a federal issue. The Supreme Court had decided to intervene and clarify the

On September 1, 2015 House Bill 11 became effective in the state of Texas. Mainly authored by Dennis Bonnen a Republican member of the Texas House of Representatives, House Bill 11 amends many laws and actions towards the security of the Texas-Mexico border. The bill mainly deals for a long term solution to human trafficking and the flow of illegal drugs that come through the border. Both parties of the Texas House of Representatives amended House Bill 11 through a 131-12 vote, since many believed organized crime fueled by illegal drugs have swept through communities across Texas. The main goal for House Bill 11 is to strengthen the border through three primary actions the first is for the state to enact harsher laws for the smuggling of people and illegal contrabands. The second is to strengthen the border patrol force through providing improved tools, more frequent border checkpoints throughout the land, and increasing the population of border patrol officers. The third action of House Bill 11 is improving the sharing of crime data throughout the state by law enforcement to connect crimes in identify large criminal enterprises and stopping organized crime.

In recent years, the United States has been struggling to pass transgender rights, and Texas is of no means of an exception. Some of these include bathroom rights. In Texas, the bathroom bill passed through the Texas Senate, but did not survive through the Texas House, resulting in a temporary halt. Even now, the government still question the rights. It is suggested that Texas may need a bathroom bill, but would probably end in some kind of financial consequence, along with many Americans losing their jobs. The Texas Bathroom Bill, otherwise known as SB6, could also fuel disunity within our nation and cause several riots.

One of the most talked about bills is TX Senate Bill 4. SB4, often referred to as a “Sanctuary City ban,” has already been signed into law by Gov. Greg Abbott. SB4 requires local law enforcement, including campus police, to comply with the requests of federal immigration

Texas has a reputation throughout history of differing views from the federal government in laws and politics pertaining to social, fiscal, and educational issues. On the whole, Texas operates as a largely conservative state. Because of this, policy-making is often right wing. With the institution of a Democratic, liberal president, the State’s dissent from the Federal government has only increased over certain issues. One hot topic of the 2012 Presidential election was immigration. With the major increase in immigration, it is no surprise that the issue was so emphasized. Between 2000 and 2011 there was a 30 percent

As like many Americans don't agree with everything in the United States constitution, some people didn't agree with the Texas constitution saying that they are giving up their protection in a lot of the articles. The Bill of Rights gives the first ten amendments and was in thought to be incorporation which would change the way criminal justice systems of the state to make these things national protections.

Hernandez V. Texas is based in the 6th amendment, “guarantees a defendant a right to counsel in all criminal prosecutions”. This case is a very well-known because there was too much of discrimination towards Hispanics. Pedro Hernandez is a resident at Edna, Texas, a Mexican guy who was accused of convicting the murder of Joe Espinosa who was also a resident of the same area. Hernandez was found guilty by an all-white jury going all the way to Supreme Court. Their lawyers argue that it wasn’t fair for them not having a Mexican American as a jury and there was only Americans, because in that way they would take advantage of a Mexican American to do whatever they wanted to do with him. In the 1950’s was when this case occurred and also there was a harsh discrimination to Mexican Americans from the white people at the United States. Mexicans and African Americans were just a “waste of time” for the white people, that’s how the white people thought about them. History, discrimination and how did this issue impact police, court, and corrections are essential things that will be cover.

Until recent years, Immigration reform has become controversial in Texas. Despite Texas being a state with a large immigration population, many Texas legislators remain divided on the different issues of immigration measures. During the 82nd Regular Legislative Session, Doug Miller, a Republican State Representative authored House Bill 1272 that would essentially require employers, from all sectors, to participate in the federal electronic verification of work authorization program, also known as E-Verify. House Bill 1272 "would also establish criminal penalties for any employers that would engage in unlawful employment practices. Freedom and equality are being violated if House Bill 1272 should is passed, as well as it would be devastating

An all-consuming fear and uncertainty continues to spread among Latino communities nationwide, after hundreds of immigrants continue to get arrested during ICE raids across the U.S. Fear continues to grow among the Latino community in Morristown, N.J., as President Trump has made it clear that he would stick with his deportation force plan. According to the last Census, Hispanics make 34.1% of the population in Morristown, N.J., and it’s estimated that one-third of the 34.1% are illegal immigrants. Amid chaos and outcry, Morristown’s mayor, police chief, community faith leaders, among other city leaders gathered with community members on Feb. 25 in Morristown, N.J. at Millburn Town Hall to discuss the new immigration law and the potential challenges

I personally feel that this proposed legislation is unconstitutional and infringes on personal rights. I also feel that this proposal conflicts with Republican ideology for less government interference in the daily lives of citizens. For a political party that is so focused on defending privacy and limited government involvement, this proposed legislative directive is very contradictory and hypocritical for what the Republican Party’s ideals stand for. They are in favor of review and revision of the Patriot Act, as well as “related executive and military orders and directives that erode constitutional rights and essential liberties of citizens.” (Republican Party of Texas) The Republicans are choosey as to which constitutional rights and liberties they recognize and protect. The remaining legislative priorities target education, immigration, and tax reform. One item addressed concerning taxes is a request to “reject raising or indexing the gas tax.” (Republican Party of Texas) I agree with this proposition. If gas taxes continue to rise, drivers will undergo a hardship in transportation, especially in Austin because public transportation has not yet successfully evolved to accommodate a city of its size efficiently. Fiscally speaking, overall I agree with the Republican Party’s fundamentals of reducing spending and taxation. Overall, socially I was in opposition with the party’s principals. Specifically, I stand in opposition to the party’s attitudes towards

What i think about people building the border wall for the immigrants is that they should give another chance for taking other people's jobs and also they don't need to be kicked back to their counties with nothing because they become another isis and their would be more police getting killed and also that more riots.”Supporters of SB4 doubt that it will nudge many Latinos to vote Democratic. The experience of California, where the Hispanic vote swung firmly Democratic around 1994, suggests they may be wrong (see chart). Texas is a Republican state in part because the local party has won more support from Latino voters there than elsewhere. Those voters, however, have supported Republicans who supported them. If the party has changed, they

This is a “controversial immigration bill authorizing police officers to stop suspected illegal immigrants and demand proof of citizenship” (The Huffington Post). This is giving the police too much authority and can lead to many other problems such as discrimination against Hispanics.
