Tyler Republican Rep. Matt Schaefer's proposed House Bill 20 is unconstitutional and would lead to racial profiling, some say.
Under House Bill 20, if the federal government declares another public health emergency over COVID-19 or enacts COVID-19 vaccination requirements, the state would be allowed to remove migrants"as rapidly as possible."Texas Democrats are calling a bill filed last week by Rep. Matt Schaefer, a Tyler Republican, the state's “show me your papers” law.called the Border Protection Unit.
The bill says that if the Legislature finds, or if the governor declares or has declared, a state of invasion or imminent danger, the Border Protection Unit would be granted some special authority. Under these circumstances, the unit would be allowed to deter or repel people attempting to enter the state illegally at locations outside a port of entry.
“HB 20 is an egregious assault on our basic civil liberties and our core values as a nation of immigrants,” Hinojosa said in a statement. “As we have seen in past iterations of this racist, fear-mongering concept, ‘Show Me Your Papers’ laws only stand to inflict constant anxiety and mental trauma upon all people who even look like they could be undocumented immigrants — whatever that means.”
HB 20 has been compared to Arizona’s Senate Bill 1070, which was passed in 2010. This law allowed police to demand “papers” and investigate immigration status if they suspected that a person is undocumented. It also allowed police to arrest people without a warrant if they believed they were a deportable immigrant. Under the law, immigrants who didn’t carry federal registration papers would be guilty of a state crime.
