Arkansas House Committee Approves State Trooper Immigration Enforcement Bill

Bookmark and Share

The bill could allow state troopers to enforce immigration laws without having to go through a federal agent. We all know how often they're able to call federal agents to a roadside stop. The current thought of federal agents alone handling this is ridiculous. You'd need one fed for each 5-10 troopers just to answer all of their calls for immigration verification. the bill is, of course, immediately labeled racist.

A House committee approved a bill today that could lead to Arkansas State Police troopers receiving training in federal immigration laws. The bill would allow the state police to negotiate with the federal government for money to train officers in immigration law enforcement on Arkansas highways.

Currently, state troopers cannot enforce immigration laws without calling in federal agents. The House State Agencies and Governmental Affairs committee passed the bill by Tim and Jeremy Hutchinson on to the House floor, but several members expressed concern about racially inflamatory language in a letter supporting the bill.

The Hutchinson brothers included in an information packet a letter from Doug and Doris Reed of Roland that called Hispanic civil rights groups "ill-willed" and accused Hispanics of trying to "reclaim America." Jeremy Hutchinson denied any knowledge of the letter.
