Texas Senate approves bill allowing local, state police to arrest undocumented immigrants

[HARK!]

AUSTIN – The Texas Senate voted late Thursday to approve to a bill that would give local and state police the power to arrest immigrants suspected of being in the country illegally.

It is Birdwell’s sixth time to bring this bill before the chamber and third time the Senate has approved it this year. His latest attempts failed to pass the Texas House. But with an endorsement from Gov. Greg Abbott, the bill has a solid chance of becoming law

In the House, Rep. Tom Oliverson R-Cypress, filed a bill Thursday that would allow law enforcement officers to apprehend immigrants who enter the country illegally via Texas’ southern border and take them to a port of entry, where police would order them to cross into Mexico. Those who don’t comply would be charged with a felony and could be imprisoned for 10 years.

Now all they need is RAS that does not violate the 4th amendment. Simply being the wrong ethnicity will not cut it.

The Feds will sue and win.

Contrary to what some on the Left believe, ethnicity is not a crime.

I guess people with darker skin better carry their I'D or green card at all times. Or they will be harassed more.

Especially when they barely speak English, and are driving a shiny new pickup truck that doesn't belong to them, but belongs to someone who lives 100+ miles away, who can't be readily contacted, that is loaded up with a strange mix of thousands of dollars worth of valuable items items in the truck bed, like a jackhammer, that doesn't seem like the woman who owned the truck would own, let alone leave it in the back of the truck if she lent it to someone without a license, who lies to cops and says that they weren't the driver, that the driver has fled the scene, who has no ID, who is carrying weapons, who is diagnosed by paramedics on the scene as being high on bath salts, after they drive up on the lawn and crash into the front of our church.

True story.

Not only did the cop let her go, to allegedly go back to a city that was far away from where the truck was allegedly "borrowed;" he offered to escort her to the nearest gas station so that he could fill up her gas tank on his credit card. The tank was on empty.

I'm glad to see that Texas is stepping up to crack down on scofflaws.

So, you think it's fine to stop every tan or dark person, to see if they are legal or not.

Whom on the left believes this? Got a quote?

Nope. Do you think that the woman who drove into my church should have been further investigated; or should she have been left to roam free because of her appearance? BTW, not all illegals are tan.

Tan is not illegal.

Makes no sense to me. Why ship them all over the country only to arrest them???

I have a feeling the Feds will fight this and probably win. They just let them go anyway these days.
