A border bill filed by RepMattSchaefer would create a state unit of officers to “repel” and return migrants crossing the border outside a port of entry. It also tests the boundaries of the state’s ability to enforce immigration law.
, R-Granbury, would jail a person for a year or two years if the person tried to enter the country a second time. The proposal would also punish the person to life in prison if they had been previously convicted of a felony.
“A new military force under Gov. Greg Abbott, potentially staffed by vigilantes deputized as law enforcement authorities, will provide no protection to border communities whatsoever,” Lopez said. “Trying to solve what is fundamentally a humanitarian crisis with a full-frontal military response shows a reckless disregard for the safety of the people in our state and a fundamental misunderstanding of the root causes of the issues at our border.
“The proposal would certainly put officers of this new Texas Border Protection Unit in direct conflict with Border Patrol agents and ICE [Immigration and Customs Enforcement] officers, raising serious constitutional question,” he said. In the fiscal year 2022, which ended in September, Border Patrol agents arrested migrants 2.4 million times — a record-breaking number. Many people in Latin America and the Caribbean are seeking asylum in the United States because they are fleeing an oppressive government and economic disaster that has led to few jobs.
She also added that Schaefer’s proposal does not take into account how Texas would work with Mexico which would have to agree to accept people being returned by state officials.
