The bills now move to the Texas Senate for consideration.

On October 25, 2023, the Texas House of Representatives passed a series of immigration bills aimed at addressing the state's border crisis. The legislation, which has sparked controversy and heated debate, seeks to empower state and local law enforcement to arrest migrants crossing the border illegally.
The bills were passed after a lengthy and tense debate on the House floor. Critics of the legislation argue that it infringes on federal jurisdiction over immigration matters and could lead to racial profiling. Supporters, however, contend that the state is stepping in where the federal government has failed to adequately address the border crisis.
The legislation includes provisions for increased funding for border security, the construction of temporary detention facilities, and the hiring of additional law enforcement personnel. It also grants local law enforcement the authority to arrest individuals for trespassing if they are suspected of being in the country illegally.
The bills now move to the Texas Senate for consideration. If passed, they will be sent to Governor Greg Abbott for his signature. The governor has previously expressed support for the legislation, citing the need for stronger border security measures in the state.
The potential for racial profiling and infringement on federal jurisdiction mentioned in the articles are based on critics' opinions, not factual evidence.
The bill would allow state troopers and local law enforcement officers to arrest migrants on state charges, a move that critics say is an attempt to do an end run around federal immigration law.
