Rep. Tony Gonzales, who represents two-thirds of Texas-Mexico border, addresses a controversial state immigration bill.
WASHINGTON D.C., DC — After the three weeks the U.S. House of Representatives stood still, Republican Rep. Tony Gonzales says it’s all smiles in Washington right now after lawmakers finally elected a new Speaker.The federal government is now three weeks away from a possible shutdown, so there’s not much time to address what has been a contentious issue in 2023.
“These threats that we’re seeing abroad are very real, but these threats are also here at home,” said the Republican. “What happened in Israel can absolutely happen to us. And this open border crisis that we have, many cases, we do not know who’s coming over.” That legislation would give state and local law enforcement the power to arrest and deport undocumented migrants and create a new state crime for those who cross the border into Texas illegally.
