ING TO AUSTIN TO FIGHT FOR
IMMIGRANTS IN TEXAS.
JUSTIN: ABOUT 80 PEOPLE HERE IN
ALBUQUERQUE ARE BOARDING THIS
BUS, ALONG WITH SOME OTH
SUVS, HEADING TO AUSTIN TO HELP
STOP SENATE BILL 4 IN ITS
TRACKS.
>> EVEN THOUGH WE ARE SCARED, WE
ARE TOGETHER.
JUSTIN: A ROOM FULL OF PEOPLE,
HOPING TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE AND
STAND UP FOR IMMIGRATION RIGHTS.
>> I DON'T WANT HATEFUL LAWS
LIKE THIS OR HATEFUL RHETORIC
LIKE THIS TO KEEP PEOPLE IN
FEAR.
JUSTIN: TEXAS SENATE BILL 4
REQUIRES LAW ENFORCEMENT
OFFICERS TO ASK ABOUT SOMEONE'S
IMMIGRATION STATUS, IF THEY FEEL
THE PERSON IS IN THE UNITED
STATES ILLEGALLY.
PROPONENTS OF THE BILL SAY IT
HELPS OFFICERS KEEP THE PUBLIC
SAFE.
>> TEXANS EXPECT US TO KEEP THEM
SAFE.
JUSTIN: PEOPLE AGAINST THE BILL
CALL IT RACIST.
>> IT IS OUR COUNTRY EVEN THOUGH
WE ARE IMMIGRANTS.
WE LOVE THIS COUNTRY.
JUSTIN: THE BILL ALSO SAYS
OFFICERS WHO DON'T ENFORCE THE
LAW COULD BE PUNISHED.
>> IF IT IS ONE STATE, IT COULD
COME TO ANOTHER STATE.
JUSTIN: PEOPLE WITH THE NEW
MEXICO DREAM TEAM SAY THEY HOPE
TO KNOCK ON DOORS, SHOUT WITH
SIGNS, AND SPREAD AWARENESS.
THEY WANT THE SAME OUTCOME FOR
ARIZONA'S SENATE BILL 1070.
>> THAT IS THE REASON WE MOVED
TO ALBUQUERQUE, BECAUSE OF THE
LAW.
I KNOW WHAT IT DOES TO FAMILIES.
IT COMPLETELY DESTROYED OUR
FAMILIES.
JUSTIN: A SIMILAR BILL COMMONLY
REFERRED TO AS THE SHOW ME YOUR
PAPERS BILL.
THE U.S. SUPREME COURT RULED IT
TO BE UNCONSTITUTIONAL IN 2012.
IN TEXAS, SENATE BILL 4 IS
SUPPOSED TO GO INTO EFFECT ON
SEPTEMBER 1.
