Texas to Arrest and Deport Illegal Migrants
Story by GistFest  •
1d


In a new challenge to the federal government’s immigration authority, Texas has taken illegal immigration laws into its own hands.
 
The state lawmakers have approved a bill that would allow police to arrest illegal migrants. Also, this bill gives the local judges the power to order their deportation.

The Texas Senate Bill 4, which Republican Gov. Greg Abbott has signed, is one of the nation’s strictest immigration laws since it took effect, leading to a standoff between Abbott and Biden. The Texas Senate Bill 4 allows the arrest and deportation of certain illegal migrants in Texas.
 
In addition, it makes unlawful entry a state misdemeanor, punishable by up to two years. However, it applies only to recent arrivals. While it remains unclear if the Biden Administration will allow the bill to stay, Abbott is bent on taking immigration matters into his own hands.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

This is brilliant a move.  In the court cases sure to come, it will pit Texas in the position of defending the law and the administration defending illegal immigration. :0012:
