I hate to always have to be the pessimistic ‘Debbie Downer’, but just like with 95% of the legislation passed by the State regarding illegal immigration, this is yet another kayfabe tactic, aka a political ruse to pacify the public.
Before I begin with the negatives, I will say that the passing of this bill is a WIN for State Sovereignty in that local and State Police can arrest illegal immigrants without Federal permission, but unfortunately that is where the positive aspects end.
According to the bill:
“First time offenders face up to one year in jail, while convicted felons with multiple illegal entries could face life in prison.”
So as much as I hate to agree with the Demo-tards here, arresting these illegals and throwing them in jail is like putting a band-aid on a sucking chest wound.
Yes, you are taking the illegal out of circulation but at what cost? The strain on our already over-burdened State court and penal system would be far too much to handle, which brings up yet another fear: When the jails and prisons are full, will the State begin building massive refugee camps?
Compare this to the Palestinian refugee camp Zaatari in Syria below:
I understand the State has it’s hands tied with the absolute goat rodeo that is Federal Deportation law and this measure is an attempt to stem the tide, but I make no apologies for not wanting my beloved Lone-Star State to become an open-air wetback camp sure to manufacture disease and crime.
Sam Houston and William Travis are turning over in their graves as we speak.
