Texas Republican Gov. Greg Abbott announced a special session of the state legislature to focus on school choice and the southern border.
Abbott, who on Thursday issued his call for the special session, asked legislators to pass legislation both to provide education savings accounts for all Texas schoolchildren, and to impede migrants' illegal entry into the Lone Star State.
Abbott has been pushing for legislation that would allow parents to use taxpayer funds to take their children out of public schools and put them in private or charter schools, The Texas Tribune reported. "All licensed law enforcement officers in Texas will be authorized to arrest or remove any person who illegally enters the State, with penalties up to 20 years in prison for refusing to comply with removal," Abbott said. "To crack down on repeated attempts to enter Texas illegally, re-entry will be penalized with up to 20 years in prison."
