The radical left’s open-borders lobby is making another desperate attempt to sabotage Texas’s efforts to protect American communities. A coalition of civil rights groups filed yet another lawsuit Monday to stop a powerful Texas law that would finally give state police the authority to arrest migrants who illegally cross our southern border, according to Fox News.
This is exactly the kind of bold, America-first legislation that puts citizens first and sends a clear message that illegal entry has consequences. Senate Bill 4 creates state-level penalties for illegal border crossing and gives Texas magistrates the power to order deportations when people are convicted. It’s common sense border security that the federal government should have been enforcing all along.
The usual suspects are leading this attack on Texas sovereignty. The Texas Civil Rights Project, ACLU, and ACLU of Texas are throwing around the same tired arguments about federal preemption, desperately trying to preserve the chaos that allowed millions to pour across our border during the Biden disaster. These groups would rather see American communities overrun than allow states to step up and do the job Washington refused to do.
What makes this fight even more significant is the timing. The law is set to take effect May 15 after a federal appeals court already tossed out the previous challenge, ruling that opponents didn’t even have legal standing to sue. The Trump administration wisely terminated the Biden DOJ’s efforts to block this legislation, recognizing that states have every right to defend themselves when the federal government abandons its duties.
Texas is leading the way on border security while liberal activists fight tooth and nail to keep our borders wide open. This law represents exactly the kind of decisive action America needs, and every patriotic American should be watching to see if our courts will stand with Texas or cave to the open-borders extremists once again.
