He points to a threat by the federal government to close airspace over Texas if colleague David Simpson&#8217;s pat-down bill had passed.   Berman&#8217;s also continuing to support clampdowns on illegal aliens and Sharia law.   He says, &#8220;At a minimum, all state department directors should be ordered to clear their files of illegal aliens.  All employers should be required to use E-Verify and deny employment to illegal aliens.&#8221;  Berman adds, &#8220;Last session, I sent three amendments to the Texas Senate to prohibit Texas courts from adjudicating cases using international law, which also includes Sharia law&#8230;We should continue looking into the need for such legislation.&#8221;  <\/p>\n<p>Additionally, Berman would like lawmakers to consider a requirement that missing or dead children be reported to authorities within one hour from discovery.   That suggestion was spurred by the Casey Anthony case.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TYLER &#8212; State Representative Leo Berman of Tyler wants lawmakers to study some familiar topics, as well as a new one, before the next session.
