Back to EpisodesTennessee's Tough Immigration Bills: Final Votes Loom
Description
Tennessee Republicans are pushing nine bills to tighten immigration laws, with final votes expected on two by April sixth. These bills include making it a Class A misdemeanor to stay in the state after a deportation order, allowing the state to withhold funds from cities or schools skipping federal E-Verify checks, and demanding citizenship or qualified alien status for public services. The state is also considering joining the federal two eighty-seven g program, which would involve local cops in immigration stings. School enrollment proof has sparked protests, and there are differing views on drivers license tests and school status checks. If passed, these bills could set a precedent for stricter immigration rules nationwide.
