Gov. Abbott prepares to sign immigration law SB4; advocates call it racist, unconstitutional
The law would allow Texas peace officers to arrest people they suspect had entered the US illegally

Former U.S. President Donald Trump was in Texas on Sunday to announce his new hardline immigration platform if elected back to the White House in 2024.

Trump appeared alongside Texas governor Greg Abbott, who endorsed Trump’s presidential bid and is soon expected to sign state immigration law Senate Bill 4.

The new law would make it a state crime to cross into Texas from Mexico illegally, allowing Texas peace officers to arrest people they suspected of entering the country without proper documentation.

If opponents claim the law is racist and unconstitutional, it must be what the border needs. :yowsa:

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
