Border Security and Vaccine Mandate Bills Expected To See Vote on House Floor
October 25, 2023 | Austin, Texas
As we speak, Texas Representative Victoria Neave is holding a press conference in anticipation of a vote in the full House on HB 4 and HB 6 on border security. HB 4 by Representative David Spiller of District 68, would give Texas a vehicle for removing illegal aliens from our state. And HB 6 by Representative Jacey Jetton would appropriate money to build a border wall for Texas.
This is your opportunity to contact your state representative and strongly urge passage of these important bills. Opposition to the bills has been virulent. Is our support as impassioned?
We are listening to testimony claiming that the bills are extreme anti-immigrant legislation, will lead to human rights abuses, and are rooted in racism and hate. Do you believe any of that?
HB 4 would essentially give law enforcement the authority to detain illegal immigrants, escort them to the border, and suggest that they leave under pain of arrest and 2-20 years imprisonment, depending on any criminal history they may have.
Additional bills coming up for a floor vote in the Texas House today are SB 4, which provides criminal penalties for human smuggling and the operation of stash houses in Texas, and SB 7, which seeks to ban companies from requiring COVID vaccine mandates.
