Bill in Texas Legislature would 'mark' foreigners legally living in the state

Last week, State Sen. Bryan Hughes, R-Mineola, filed a bill that would require Texans to show proof of citizenship before they can register to vote. Voting-rights experts warn the proposal will disenfranchise low-income and minority voters. Although the East Texas Republican's Senate voter ID legislation, Senate Bill 16, has sparked plenty of outrage, another, lesser-known bill he filed in January also is raising red flags with civil-rights advocates.
