Abbott Expected To Sign Border Security Bill

They expect Gov. Greg Abbott to sign Senate Bill 4, which would make it a new state crime for entering Texas illegally. The legislation also allows local law enforcement to arrest and order migrants to leave the country. Civil rights organizations and immigration advocacy groups, including the ACLU of Texas, say the law will lead to racial profiling of Latinos, not just on the border but across the state. The legislation is sure to be appealed.
