Hey everyone, I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure I don't ask for personal favors often. Today I'm asking you to help out my friend Andrea in her efforts to make it to DC to continue fighting for DACA and a clean DREAM Act. For those of you who are decent people (you heard me), you understand that Andrea, and hard-working immigrants everywhere have earned their keep here more than most of us ever will. The circumstances of one's birth has nothing to do with their worthiness to live in this country. If you're a friend, I'm asking you as a friend. If you're simply someone who appreciates my work, then I'm asking you as an activist.

Advocates: Texas Immigration Law Would Also Affect Black and Trans Communities - Rewire

The advocates who spoke to Rewire expressed concern that should SB 4 be instated on September 1, it would only be a matter of time before lawmakers in other states pass similar laws.

Communities that are already heavily policed and racially profiled will suffer more under SB 4, Monica Roberts told Rewire. Roberts is an African-American trans woman and a native of Houston, a city that only recently joined the fight against SB 4, though according to the Pew Research Center, the Houston metro area has the third largest population of undocumented immigrants in the United States.

Roberts said that Texas’ SB 4 has “far-reaching” implications for many of the state’s communities.

“There isn’t a positive thing to come from this law. It has larger implications for African American communities, for Latinx folks, and for the trans community,” she said. “All we have to do is look at places like New York during stop and frisk. Ninety percent of those stopped were Black and Latino, and you know who else was harassed? Transgender people. Trans folks face profiling too, and in Texas it will be no different.”
