Texas’ new immigration statutes are common sense, not racist
Fox News
Texas recently passed legislation that would allow local law enforcement officers to arrest foreign nationals for having unlawfully entered the U.S. Critics call these commonsense laws racist.
The ink was barely dry on the new laws when mainstream media outlets began crying, "Racism!" According to a headline featured by U.K. news outlet The Guardian, "Texas Legislators Pass Hardline Immigration Bill Denounced as Racist." According to Spectrum News, the American Civil Liberties Union plans to sue, claiming that the new legislation "fuels racial profiling and harassment."
Accusations of racism are nothing new in the immigration sphere. Anti-borders advocates want the public to believe that U.S. immigration policies favor European Caucasians and discriminate against so-called "Black and Brown folk." But this is an inherently stupid claim and nothing could be further from the truth.
