LULAC Stands in Strong Opposition to 287(g)
Houston, TX LULAC District VIII stands in strong opposition to 287(g) locally for any law enforcement agency. We believe the 287(g) is anti-immigrant and should be discontinued by all local law enforcement agencies.
Furthermore, LULAC has adopted several resolutions during
our 2009 and 2013 National Conventions in opposition to the 287(g). In summary, these resolutions stated the following:
WHEREAS, LULAC National President Rosa Rosales,
stated in August 24, 2007, news release, "LULAC has always come out firmly against involving city police in immigration matters. This is the role of the federal government. The local police departments do not have the
Publicity Director David Bustillos
resources or training to enforce immigration law," said
LULAC National President Rosa Rosales.
BE
IT
FURTHER
RESOLVED,
oppose
local
state
immigration restriction ordinance attempts, especially those
District Committees Civil Rights Education Parade Economic Development Immigration Housing Employment & Training Health & Human Services Criminal Justice Committee on Discipline Bylaws
which deputize local law enforcement agencies, to enforce
immigration law. We should all make it a priority to work in partnership with a broad coalition at all levels from all communities against such attempts, and maintain and build coalitions not just to defeat such ordinance attempts, but to advocate for local legislation that addresses the needs of the communities, to encourage naturalization, to register new voters, and to educate communities about elected officials and candidates stands on this, and other issues.
