- SB 4 from the 4th Special Session means Illegal Immigrants can be arrested for illegal entry and ordered to return to the foreign nation that they used to enter the U.S. which means Mexico in nearly all cases. Repeat offenders can be sentenced to up to 20 years of imprisonment pdf.
- SB 3 adds $1.54 Billion more for border wall infrastructure. ref
- SB 4 from the third Special Session: 10 year minimum prison sentence for smuggling illegal immigrants and 5 year minimum sentence for operating a stash house. Facebook video
This legislation is predicted to discourage illegal immigrants from even making the attempt to illegally enter the U.S. It is anticipated that the new laws will be challenged in court, but it is also expected to be upheld.
