Indiana Leaders Meet with President Trump's Border Czar
Border czar Tom Homan spoke at an event hosted by Attorney General Todd Rokita and Representative J.D. at the Statehouse.
Outside the Statehouse, people gathered to protest Tom Homan's visit, which aimed to push for further immigration enforcement.
"The fact of the matter is, there is no country and therefore no Indiana if we don't have a defined border, one language and a common culture,"
Rokita said, renewing a push for immigration legislation, specifically the "Fairness Act".
- The "Fairness Act" focuses on Fostering and Advancing Immigration Reforms Necessary to Ensure Safety and Security.
- It was formerly known as House Bill 1531 and passed out of the House but stalled in the Senate.
Leaders at the event, including U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Chad Wolf and state lawmakers, emphasized the importance of immigration enforcement.
