A group of immigration advocates gathered near the Texas Capitol Wednesday to protest two border-related bills. House Bill 20 would allow local law enforcement to arrest, detain and deter individuals from crossing the border illegally.
He and the other immigration advocates are looking out for migrants like Rafael José Castañeda, a Venezuelan in Juarez, Mexico. He plans to cross the border into Texas, but these bills make him nervous.
"The definition of 'invasion' is clear," Hauman said. "It's an unwelcome intrusion on someone's domain. That's exactly what's happening here. So fortunately, what [the bill] does is it recognizes the invasion and kind of puts a plan in place of how to evoke that authority, what to do to step up for the constituents and the people of Texas, and the nation as a whole.
The lower chamber allocated another $4.6 billion for border security efforts in its budget last week. And Texas House Speaker Dade Phelan has voiced his support for the two border bills.
