Rep. Matthew Hill's Morrison City Mission Amigo Conflict: "They're Breathing My Air!"

Republicans in the Tennessee General Assembly --- including Rep. Matthew Hill (R-7, Jonesborough) --- are pushing for some new legislation in order to help curb down on illegal (or criminal as some may say) immigrants locating in Tennessee and consuming resources that more properly belong to legal residents of the Volunteer State. Do you suppose that Rep. Hill picked up on the fact that a Tennessee taxpayer supported state agency (the Tennessee Foreign Language Institute) is providing language translation for the illegal immigrants opposing the TNGA legislation?:

This bill is an attempt to turn state and local safety officers into immigration enforcement officers. Effective local law enforcement depends on community trust. State and local police have long sought to distinguish themselves from federal immigration agents in order to enhance public safety, because when immigrant community residents begin to see state and local police as deportation agents, they stop reporting crimes and assisting in investigations. Similar legislation proposed at the federal level has been opposed by scores of law enforcement departments and associations because its premise, turning cops into immigration agents, undermines public safety. TALKING POINTS (Passed Senate Transportation; deferred in House State Government until September)

I don't necesarily disagree with Rep. Hill's co-sponsorship of the HB3229 State/Local Government Employees as Immigration Enforcement Officials legislation, but I find that it is very remarkable that Rep. Matthew Hill--- according to his official state biography --- is a trustee of the Rev. Dr. Daddy Kenneth Hill's Morrison City Mission (MCM).

A former Morrison City Mission web site posted that MCM has (or at that time had) a "Hispanic outreach program". Given the racial makeup of Northeast Tennessee, it is most likely that the MCM Hispanic outreach program was set to attract tithing illegal immigrants...
