RICHMOND, Va. – Attorney General Jason Miyares has joined a 22- state alliance supporting a Texas law that makes improper immigration a state violence and authorizes state officials to maintain it.
Texas’s state laws, SB4, makes illegal , immigration , into Texas a state violence and allows state courts and judges to get those who have  , crossed the border improperly back to the country from which they entered. The U. S. government and private defendants filed fit over the legislation. A U. S. District Court blocked the laws, and the situation is now before the U. S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit.
” The immigration crisis has rendered every state a border state, and I swore an oath to safeguard Virginians” , , said Attorney General Miyares. ” Areas are hurting and people are scared, but any potential answer to this common health tragedy has been blocked or ignored. When will adequately be plenty”?
The , roman brief , filed by the states in support of Texas’s law , argues,” States furthermore bear an commitment to their citizens to tackle the assistant common problems. That obligation implicates one of Amici States ‘ core sovereign prerogatives—enacting legislation pursuant to their police powers to protect their citizens ‘ safety… Relatedly, Amici States have a paramount interest in ensuring that their validly enacted state laws are not improperly held unconstitutional under incorrect preemption analyses”.
Attorney General Miyares joined , Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Utah, West Virginia, and Wyoming on the amicus brief.
