Once a week we will be posting a blog with information on three states at a time. This week we will highlight; Nebraska, Nevada & New Hampshire!
The AIC has compiled research which shows that Immigrants are an essential part of each of these states’ economy, labor force and tax base.

AG’s Remarks on Immigration Enforcement to Border Sheriffs – 4/11/18
On Wednesday, April 11, 2018, Attorney General Jeff Sessions gave a speech to the Southwestern Border Sheriff’s Coalition in Las Cruces, NM. Las Cruces, NM is about 45 miles from El Paso, TX and the border with Mexico. His remarks focused on the Trump Administration’s view of border security and immigration enforcement. AG Sessions called for an end to what he called, “loopholes,” in asylum law, more local law enforcement participation in 287(g) and funding for the southern border wall.
I have included the links below to both a transcript and a YouTube video of the Attorney General’s speech, so you can judge his remarks for yourself.

Trump sending National Guard troops to Mexico border!
On Tuesday, April 3rd, President Trump announced to reporters that he was sending the Military to guard the southern border with Mexico, even surprising his own advisers.
The White House is suggesting the plan will be similar to President Bush’s plan, Operation Jump Start. Under that plan the National Guard played a support role to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP). National Guard troopers gathered intelligence and passed it along to the CBP. The National Guard did not get involved in capturing immigrants and were NOT allowed to use force unless they were attacked first.
Illegal border crossings slowed during President Trump’s first year in office but apprehensions at the U.S. – Mexico border have begun to increase, up from 23,555 in February 2017 to 36,695 in February 2018!
