If enforced, Texas’ new immigration law would be a game-changer | Eastern NC Now

SB 4 is the bill that every state needs to pass, not just the border states. What comes to the border doesn’t remain at the border. It migrates to our cities.

To that end, after several years of dawdling, the Texas legislature last week finally passed SB 4, which empowers state and local law enforcement to arrest illegal aliens for their illegal entry into the state. Given that the effects of the invasion plague every major city, the Texas bill needs to be the beginning of a paradigm shift in the way states address the crisis.

SB 4 also grants state judges authority to return illegal aliens to Mexico. In some instances, however, the crime of entering the state illegally would be punishable by up to six months in jail for first-time offenders and two years for a second offense.
