Texas Governor Pledges to Sign Anti-Sanctuary City Bill
Kenric Ward / @Watchdogorg / January 06, 2017 / comments
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott says he expects the Legislature to pass an anti-sanctuary city bill this year, opening a new front in the battle over “local control.”
Weighing in on the intensifying national immigration debate, the Republican governor pledged to sign S.B. 4, which would require municipalities to enforce migrant detainers at local jails and withhold state grants if they don’t comply.
“I will work with the Legislature to compel government bodies and employees to live up to their oath of office,” Abbott declared.
Cities, counties, or universities that violate the law will face a “multitude of consequence, ranging from financial penalties to removal from office,” the former state attorney general said.

The law already states that any person harboring or abetting someone here illegally is guilty of a misdemeanor.
We do NOT need more laws, as we simply need to enforce the laws already on the books. Just throw the mayor, city council or sheriff in jail and charge them.
