In a significant move to curb illegal immigration, Texas Governor Greg Abbott (R) announced on Sunday that he would sign a bill into law criminalizing unauthorized entry into the state.
The legislation, known as Senate Bill 4, empowers police officers across all agencies to arrest migrants entering the state illegally. This announcement comes amidst the escalating crisis at the U.S. southern border, which has seen an unprecedented influx of illegal immigrants, largely attributed to President Biden's open border policies.
