Texas to arrest illegal immigrants

 CBS News:

Republican Gov. Greg Abbott of Texas on Monday signed one of the harshest state immigration laws in modern U.S. history, authorizing state officials to arrest and seek the deportation of migrants suspected of crossing the border with Mexico illegally.

The law, known as SB4, gives Texas law enforcement authorities the power to stop, arrest and jail migrants on new, state-level illegal entry charges. It also allows state judges to issue de facto deportation orders against suspected violators of the law, though it's unclear how this provision could be enforced.

Passed by Texas' legislature earlier this year, SB4 is an extraordinary attempt by the state to inject itself into immigration and border enforcement, both longstanding federal prerogatives. It will almost certainly trigger a high-stakes legal and political clash with civil rights groups and potentially the Biden administration.

"The goal of Senate Bill 4 is to stop the tidal wave of illegal entry into Texas," Abbott said at a signing ceremony along the border in Brownsville. "Senate Bill 4 is now law in the state of Texas."

When does SB4 take effect?

The law is set to take effect in March 2024, though that could change depending on the outcome of lawsuits that are expected to be filed against it.

Before it was signed into law, SB4 garnered strong criticism from Democratic lawmakers, the Mexican government and advocacy groups, including the American Civil Liberties Union, which has vowed to file a lawsuit challenging its legality.

The opposition gives you a good idea of who the open borders supporters are.  If you do not want illegal immigration you should support this bill and also restrict any government benefits for those in the country illegally.  Illegal immigration is another reason to vote against Democrats who support it including Joe Biden.
