American taxpayers wait patiently for the federal government to enforce the current immigration laws on illegal aliens. Also, we have been told a comprehensive immigration package is in the works to update the current laws regarding illegal immigration. States such as Oklahoma and Arizona have passed model immigration statutes which have caused uproar in the illegal immigration community.
The legislature in the State of Texas meets every other year and 2009 is a legislative year. I am a concerned tax payer that believes my taxes used by Washington, the State of Texas, the local taxing authorities, and school districts be utilized for and by American Citizens. I do not believe my taxes should be used for people that enter the United States illegally and that do not respect the Rule of Law of our nation. Therefore, I am going to propose to my House District 85 Representative, Joe Heflin – Democrat, the following proposal to introduce in the Texas House of Representatives regarding illegal immigration. I am going to give Representative Heflin the benefit of the doubt regarding his party affiliation.
A BILLTO BE ENTITLED AN ACT relating to enrolling a “qualifying child” in school districts in the State of Texas.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
