Biden's border policy really about new Democratic voters

But some recent remarks from Crouch's campaign Twitter account take a harder stance. It's almost like someone has a check-list somewhere of conservative, hot-button topics she must weigh in on. The U.S.-Mexico border: "President Biden and his Democrat puppets don't care if our Southern border is secure," Crouch tweeted recently. She said Biden's border policy is a "Democrat voter registration drive masquerading as an immigration policy." Source: Indiana Capital Chronicle on 2024 Indiana Gubernatorial race , Jun 2, 2023

Allow local arrests for possession of immigration documents

SB590: Makes various changes concerning enforcement of federal immigration laws.

ACLU-IN statement in opposition (3/2913): U.S. District Court struck down Indiana's immigration law SB590. The law permitted local law enforcement officers to make warrantless arrests of people in possession of certain immigration-related documents, even though the possession of those documents is not a crime. The law also made the use of identification cards issued by consulates of foreign countries illegal. The decision, Buquer v. City of Indianapolis et al, "runs afoul of the Fourth Amendment [because it authorizes state and local law enforcement officers to] effect warrantless arrests for matters that are not crimes."

Legislative Outcome: Passed House 68-31-1 on Apr/29/11; State Rep. Suzanne Crouch voted YES; passed Senate 35-15-0 on Apr/29/11; Signed by Governor Mitch Daniels on May/10/11.
