Criminal charges proposed for illegal immigrants entering Louisiana
The penalty for a first offense would be a maximum of six months in prison and any subsequent offenses could draw up to a year in prison.

(The Center Square) -
Legislation proposing criminal charges for undocumented immigrants entering Louisiana has passed a committee in the House of Representatives.


The bill moving forward Wednesday from the Committee on Administration of Criminal Justice is similar to legislation in neighboring Texas. It passed the panel 7-4 and was opposed by the Southern Poverty Law Center and migrant groups.

Next would be a House floor vote.

The Senate, by 28-11 on April 9, has already passed Senate Bill 388 sponsored by Sen. Valarie Hodges, R-Denham Springs. If it becomes law, the governor could set up a border compact with Texas.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

The ABA must be drooling over all the potential litigation (money) coming from immigration. :judge:
