Fox News Latino examines a Montana proposal to prohibit local sanctuary policies and require cooperation with federal immigration authorities. The article contrasts the bill with a national Republican shift toward immigration reform after the 2012 election. Shahid Haque noted that Montana had one of the country's smallest immigrant populations and no immigration crisis requiring such a measure.
The article captures the gap between Montana's immigration politics and the state's actual demographics. It also places Shahid's legislative advocacy within a national debate over whether state crackdowns or federal reform should shape immigration policy.
