Controversial Texas Border Legislation Sparks White House Criticism and Accusations of Racism

The White House criticized Texas Governor Greg Abbott's new border legislation, calling it "extreme" and accusing it of dehumanizing migrants. The law allows police to arrest migrants who enter the state illegally and gives them the choice to leave the US or face prosecution. The White House Press Secretary stated that the law does not make communities safer and aligns with Republican efforts to demonize and dehumanize immigrants. Abbott has been critical of the Biden administration's handling of the border crisis and has directed migrants to be bussed to cities across America. The law is expected to face legal challenges as immigration enforcement is a federal responsibility.
