Texas law enforcement has started catching illegal immigrants at Shelby Park in Eagle Pass. This shows how strongly Texas and the Biden administration disagree on how to handle immigration.
A new rule in Texas lets police arrest people they think are in the country illegally. Governor Greg Abbott seems to be taking things into his own hands. They are continuing to do this even though the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) told them to stop because it is making the job of the Border Patrol harder.
This whole thing makes me think that Texas is saying, “We don’t like how the federal government is protecting the border, so we’re going to do it our way.” But this method is tricky. On the one hand, it makes sense that Texas would want to keep its borders safe and that people there might think the United States isn’t doing enough.

On the other hand, this could get you in trouble with the law if you break federal law, and it also brings up moral issues. One sad story is about a woman and her two children who drowned in the Rio Grande. After the accident, Border Patrol officers were not allowed to go back to the area, which makes me wonder a lot about the rights and safety of people trying to enter the U.S.
Texas says they are only trying to defend their land and that the law is on their side. But the federal government and other people who are worried about this see it as a dangerous move that could hurt people’s rights and make things worse between the federal government and state governments.
To sum up, Texas’s choice may make sense for people who want strict border control, but this is a complicated problem that must be handled carefully. We must find a way to keep the borders safe without ignoring people or the law.
