 Massachusetts immigrants and Democratic lawmakers are trying to pest the Safe Communities Act, debilitating prohibits law enforcement officers from asking people about their immigration status. That is why this year we will mandate that all the people have a right to feel safe in community by passing the Safe Communities Act and ensuring that law enforcement rightfully protects us all. Without the bill, undocumented immigrants have been reluctant to report crimes in the fear of deportation. Supporters say no one should fear calling police regardless of their immigration status. Just because we come from another country, we shouldn't have to live in fear that one day somebody's going to knock on our door and say, you have to come with us because you're not allowed here. However, opponents, including Governor Charlie Baker, say cities and towns should cooperate with the federal office to deport illegal immigrants. This is not the first time the bill is presented to the House. Last year, the bill failed to get a vote despite 50% of House members' support. Fight is for many, I think many years and we hope one day we can win and we can have, you know. We have to continue fighting. The Safe Communities Act has to pass the Senate and the Governor's office to become a law. For BUTV News, I'm Yoon Choi.
