The Texas Immigration Regulation Gambit

Pissed off by the Biden Administration’s immigration failures, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott this week signed a invoice making it a state crime for migrants to cross the southern border illegally. The flood of migrants is a serious state drawback, however the one efficient resolution lies in Congress.

The Texas legislation makes it a misdemeanor to cross the border illegally, punishable by as much as six months in jail. Overseas migrants who try and enter Texas after being deported may very well be charged with a felony. A federal grant of asylum, lawful presence, or safety beneath the Deferred Motion for Childhood Arrivals could be an “affirmative protection” from prosecution.
