xth opinion,t si the state of texas double down with this texas leesville. the state of texas is 40% latino. the people who are going to be asked for the papers are going to be latinos, for the most part. it is going to be people who are not english speakers, peoplple o lolook differerently, people whe mo brownwn. bill wasty is, this sold on a pack of mistruths. it was designed to conflate criminality with immigrants, even though immigrants commit a crime at a lower rate than even the nativeborn. and at a time, candidly, and this is contrary to what the governor said in the last clip, that immigration is at its lowest level since the 1970's. but in a political move, the governor, true to his record, has decided to cononflate criminality, immigration, to score political points. and it is offensive for him to do it on some of our mostt vulnerable populations. juan: what about this issue of the police chiefs that have come out opposed to the bill? on monday, the san antonio police chief william mcmanus addressed some of his concerns about the legislation. >> my

>> it passed first out of the texas senate. it passes out of the texas house. there are minor differences between the house and senate. here is what we do know. because it passed out of both of those chambers, we know a bill will be coming my desk. the real deal is texas is going to be a leader nationally by insuring we ban sanctuary city policies that has real teeth and consequences and officials who adopt sanctuary city policies. it will be impossible to have sanctuary city policies in the state of texas. president trump moves forward along with the attorney general jeff sessions. 20 people were arrested yesterday. was it yesterday? protesting the sanctuary cities and talk about texas not being friendly to quote-unquote immigrants. it's a bizarre charge, isn't it? >> it is, lou. as everyone knows, texas is a very welcoming state. texas is made up of immigrants. and texas is * pro immigration. issue of is illegal immigration. people need to recognize the distank difference between the two. texas has been long connected to the hispanic community even before tex

they could only be from texas. on the academic level what i'm trying to get across in the book, just ways when we're think about the history of slavery we need to bring it into the history of the border much more than we've done. one of the tensions in texas as a whole is slavery is booming here in the 18 50s. so the family that owned his ancestors was from upper south, from kentucky and moved down to victoria in the 1850s. that is very common. almost all the slave-owning families are from the upper south. you can't grow con ton in kentucky. they're all coming down to participate in cotton of the as cotton booming in texas, as it grows closer you get to the border. the closer to the border, greater chance that slaves can escape. it is incredibly vibrant system and also a system that feels under assault because the proximity to the border and thousands of slaves escape across the border into mexico. the larger object lesson i became completely convinced texas history is fascinating and really, i think almost all of

amy: that is texas governor abbott on fox. texas state representative rafael anchia, why are you so concerned? can you talk about what you see is the greatest threat of this new texas law? >> certainly. i'm try to counsel people not to use the sanctuary cities language. this is really in arizona-style bill. we should not be surprised with respect to this move by the governor when he was attorney general, he signed an offer does a brief in support of senate bill 1070. this has been part of his record. i will tell you why i am concerned. the papers please bill comes about one week after a s six findingal court discretion on the part of the state of texas against latinos. that has been both in the redistricting context and in the photo id context, which are ways to shut latinos out of the political process. xth opinion,t si

city in the state of texas. austin, texas is in travis county, travis county declared sanctuary city policies so i withheld money from them. importantly is the way that i did it. the state of texas has grant contracts with travis county in those contracts we put in there the terms that in order for them to receive grant money they had to not have any type of sanctuary city policy. what i don't know is what type of arrangement like that the trump administration already has. what i do know that the trump administration has those similar contract terms, they will be able to withhold money to those cities. however, maria, that's a smart part of what we have done. we have spent a bill in the capital behind me. one it can expose them to very high fines about $25,000 per day if exposed them for jail time for any sheriff or official and can also subject the county or city or whichever political body it is to legal action in the event that they release somebody . think of kate stanley, this would be allowed the people to

how mexico is our largest trading partner with texas and how texas farmers rangers andut manufacturers rely on trade wits our southern neighbor. they pointed out that theiv chamber of commerce is issued a chart which documents that 5 million american jobs depend on by national trade with mexico i think most people are unawarec of that or don't pay enough attention to the fact that our economies are inextricably tieda together. during my visit to the border i was fortunate enough to have the chance to talk about our mutual security concerns with the its governor. it's a state that shares our northern border with texas. i'm grateful to mexican leaders states who ambassador the new mexican ambassador to the united states who share a vision for more secure border and more robust trade at the same time. they're not mutually exclusive, it's important that we have both security and trade. it goes without saying that free trade has been a cornerstone of the economy in texas adding billions to our economy annuallo and bolstering our relationship with our partner to the south. in other words, fr

the gentleman from texas. mr. burgess: it is now my privilege to recognize the gentleman from kentucky vice chairman of the health subcommittee on energy and commerce, one minute. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized. >> i thank the gentleman for yielding. i rise today to urge my colleague to support the american health care act. a constituent of mine personally reached out to share her story. under obamacare the monthly premium rose to over $1,000 with a deductible of $12,000. when she fell and broke three ribs, she couldn't afford to go to the emergency room. she suffered for weeks until she could afford care and as she said, quote, i paid 50% of my income for something i am forced to buy but cannot use. in kentucky there are many counties with one health insurer on the exchange. that is not right. affordable health care is access to health care when you need it. i urge my colleagues to support the american health care act. and i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from new jersey.

will other states follow texas lead? are we going to see major challenges in texas ahead ned, where do you see this one heading, major legal troubles or is texas going to be able to enforce the law, saying, look, if you're going to try and provide some kind of a escape to someone who is here illegally, then you're going to be the one in trouble. >> well, the thing that's important to remember about this texas law is people have been saying, well, the arizona law went up to the supreme court and struck down almost no entirety, but the one thing that was not struck down in the arizona law was that it permitted police to ask people that were detained what is their immigration status. so i think that as you look at this and what they did in texas allowing officers to ask what is your immigration status regardless for criminal activity or traffic violation, it's been upheld by the supreme court. it's already been addressed by the supreme court. it's already been dealt with and that's why i think texas kept it fairly narrow an
