State Rep. David Spiller heard the last episode of Y’all-itics and had something to say. Spiller wrote the controversial legislation that lets local and state police charge undocumented immigrants with a misdemeanor. State Rep. Victoria Neave Criado and Congressman Joaquin Castro criticized it, worrying it will lead to racial profiling of lawful U.S. citizens. But Spiller argues this soon-to-be Texas law will not result in roundups of migrants who have been here for decades and, he says, police likely won’t enforce it too far north of the Rio Grande. Spiller sits for our questions in this special release episode.
