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.

Attached are both resolutions with greater details on our


opposition to 287(g).
