Arkansas congressman wants to train police in immigration enforcement

I know a governor who's not going to be happy with this:


State Rep. Michael Lamoureux has proposed legislation aimed at reducing illegal immigration problems in the state.

Lamoureux, a Republican from Russellville, is a sponsor of House Bill 1012, a proposal that would allow local law enforcement officers to enforce federal immigration laws. The bill will likely be assigned to the House of Representatives' judiciary committee this week when the 85th Arkansas General Assembly convenes in Little Rock...

State Reps. Jeremy Hutchinson of Little Rock and Timothy Hutchinson of Lowell also sponsored the legislation. They are nephews of Department of Homeland Security undersecretary Asa Hutchinson...

That last bit has me scratching my head. Was Asa Hutchinson just following orders that he didn't agree with? Do his cousins have their own minds about things? Is this a fake bill designed to fail or do the opposite of what it's billed as?
