Have you ever wondered where our laws In Mississippi come from? It might seem like a law fairy is making them pop up, but unfortunately, that is not exactly what happens. It seems that way to us because state laws are something citizens do not have a large role in. However, someone who does have a large role in deciding these state laws is the State Legislature. With that being the case, there is a whole lawmaking process and inside that process are many important people and steps. To be more specific one of those important people is Phil Bryant, our governor. Bryant also has his own opinion and position on these bills that go through the process.

Furthermore, Bryant is a Republican from Mississippi and he was elected for governor back in …show more content…

It would not work without the governor since he has such a large capacity in it.The process is a variety of measures to make sure we have suitable and reliable laws in Mississippi.

With that being said, I agree with Phil Bryant’s Position on Illegal Immigration in
