Quick takeaways

  • The Texas immigration law allows state officials to deport migrants who have crossed the border without legal authorization, which has faced criticism from the left due to concerns about racial profiling and potential violations of constitutional rights.
  • Supporters of the Texas immigration bill argue that federal inaction has forced border states to take matters into their own hands, with concerns about the effectiveness of the law as a deterrent for migrants.

Texas Immigration Bill and Governor Abbott's Actions

Texas Governor Greg Abbott signed a new law allowing the state to arrest people suspected of crossing the border illegally. The law authorizes Texas law enforcement to stop, arrest, and jail migrants suspected of entering the country illegally. The American Civil Liberties Union has sued the state over the law, calling it unconstitutional because the federal government has sole authority over immigration.
