The governor is asking lawmakers to make it a criminal offense to cross into Texas from another country illegally.
EAGLE PASS, TEXAS - SEPTEMBER 28: Immigrants walk along the fortified bank of the Rio Grande after crossing the border from Mexico into the United States as U.S. Border Patrol agents look on September 28, 2023 in Eagle Pass, Texas. A surge of asylum seeking migrants crossing the U.S. southern border has put pressure on U.S. immigration authorities, reaching record levels in recent weeks.
Another proposal from the governor calls for lawmakers to authorize all licensed peace officers to "remove illegal immigrants from Texas." This isn't the first time we've seen a state propose criminal citations or using police to help with immigration.But Garcia says that's clearly not stopping Texas.
