While legislators may find political benefits by pushing for stronger immigration reforms, the proposed Texas legislation provides little upside for citizens or law enforcement officers, according to A.J. Irwin, Director of Investigations at Dallas' Yarbrough Strategic Advisors who formerly worked with the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service and ICE. "Local law enforcement is already overwhelmed - Dallas is not the only city furloughing police officers to meet budget requirements - yet these departments are being asked to take on additional enforcement responsibilities simply because politicians say they have to," says Irwin. "The vast majority of foreigners who come to this country pose no threat to national security or public safety. Squandering dwindling state and federal resources that could be used for true security purposes of our citizens is poor prioritization."
