Stop Texas Representavies Debbie Riddle and Leo Berman.

Texas Republicans Debbie Riddle of Tomball, TX and Leo Berman of Tyler, TX want to introduce an immigration law similar to Arizona's SB 1070. Do not let this happen. This law is not only unconstitutional but racist. The law, in an indirect method, will target minorities, allow for racial profiling and give to much power to police.

Why we don't need this law.

I decided to come up with a little scene of why I dislike this law. This is what I feel could happen.

Police pulls over an american citizen for a broken tail light.

Police: Can I see your drivers liscense?
American citizen: Sorry I forgot my DL. I was in a hurry to get to work and left my wallet at home and borrowed money for lunch.
Police: Sir, I noticed that you are speaking with an accent. Are you an american citizen?
AC: Yes.
Police: Can you show something that says you are an american citizen?
AC: No. I left my DL at home like I said.
Police: Sir you are under arrest for not being able to prove you are an american citizen?

Normally to Officer would have just issued a citation for not having a DL while operating the vehicle. Now the officer has to take the american citizen to jail. Just because of his accent or he looks like a foreigner.
