After having received the Boynton message, this week, Governor Abbott commented stating that US President Joe Biden is "...destroying America..." adding that 'Texas is trying to save it.'
In a turn of monistic efforts by Texas, lawmakers have indicated that the state of Texas, however, asserts that Senate Bill 4 was drafted in such a manner that it cannot be subjected to law suit.
Contained in SB4 is a mandate that will be enforced by judges to order border agents to execute the arrest of illegal migrants who enter into the state of Texas to, thereby, expel them from the state of Texas by sending them back to their point of origin.
According to Boynton, Abbott's immigration law acts in a manner to challenge the federal government's authority to exercise control over immigration law stating that it is authorized by the constitution.
Abbott established new legislation in 2021 which, now, authorizes state and local law enforcement to take action to carry out the state law..
