AUSTIN (Nexstar) — A Texas Republican senator is proposing a bill that would create a new crime for those who cross the border illegally, authorizing law enforcement to arrest and prosecute anyone who crosses the border, and can do so anywhere in the state.

Sen. Brian Birdwell, R-Granbury, filed Senate Bill 2424 on Friday, the deadline for state lawmakers to introduce any new legislation.

According to a news release from Lt. Governor Dan Patrick’s office, the penalties would be up to one year in jail for the first offense, two years in state jail for a second offense, and up to life in prison for convicted felons who cross the border illegally.

I have to admit that I am so ignorant I was assuming this was ALREADY the law,and had been the law ever since someone decided we needed a border.

Since it apparently is NOT the law,by what authority does the Border Patrol have to even exist,never mind arrest aliens for crossing our borders?

Hell,AFATG,what right do we even have to HAVE borders?

This is state law, not federal law.

Doesn't federal law trump (NO pun intended) state laws?

What is this bill expecting of Texans?  Should we house and feed them for life in our prisons? NO!   :shrug:

That doesn't mean that states have the power to enforce federal law of their own volition.

This will be so dilluted and messed up after the left does all its legal challenges. 

Not optimistic.
