Texas said Friday that he wanted the state Legislature to pass new laws to address illegal immigration in the state, citing inaction by the Biden administration.
“I’m working on new laws as we come to a close of this legislative session that will provide us even more tools. One is we are seeking to make it a felony for anybody to cross into the state of Texas illegally. In addition to what we currently have in place, we would also be able to begin arresting people for crossing into our state illegally and put them behind bars for a very long time,” Abbott said at a briefing held at Brownsville, Texas.
