AUSTIN (CBSNewsTexas.com) — Texas lawmakers are considering cracking down further on illegal immigration.

On Monday, the House State Affairs Committee held hearings on two bills passed in the Texas Senate last week: SB 4 and SB 11.

During the hearing, Republicans supported the bills and said they will deter illegal immigration, while Democratic lawmakers and other opponents said they don't believe they will help at all.

During a news conference before the hearing, Representative Ana Hernandez said, "As a child, I was undocumented for about eight years so when I see this legislation, I think about my history. We are not for stash houses, but we are not for criminalizing our families either."

Don't mess with Texas.  Keep sending those buses up North.  Support for Open Borders is losing the war of attrition / inundation.

Keep flooding Blue States with more migrants.  More local and state Dem politicians are demanding the Feds to do something.  The "right to shelter" states are filling up.

Worse, yet, in Mass, the overwhelming majority of immigrants are being sheltered in a few large cities and towns that provide Dem votes to counter the suburban Republican votes.

Dems are losing support among large population centers of Dem votes.
