Immigration

Texas has been using coronavirus relief money to help pay for the multibillion-dollar deployment.

History shows there are few governors who have attempted to make immigration central to their campaigns, and it has worked — in the short term.

The governor says the court's ruling in 1982 has imposed an unfair burden on Texas.

The 15 plaintiffs want a federal judge to declare Gov. Greg Abbott’s controversial border mission unconstitutional.

Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas visits Texas as both Republicans and immigrant rights groups have criticized the president’s border and immigration policies.

Immigrant and human rights advocates are troubled by the Biden administration’s decision to expand its "Migration Protection Protocols" to include asylum seekers of any country in the Western Hemisphere other than Mexico.

To some, the scenes at the border represent a broken immigration system that opportunistic migrants are taking advantage of. To others, it presents an opportunity for America to once again welcome people in need from around the world.

Texas officials call it a "historic surge." Thousands of new arrivals, largely from Haiti, are straining an already overstretched system, and more are on the way.

Austin hace un buen trabajo proporcionando apoyo legal a los migrantes y demostrando liderazgo gubernamental, según un reporte de UT Austin. Sin embargo, la ciudad debe esforzarse para mejorar la calidad de vida y las oportunidades de trabajo para los inmigrantes.

Austin does well at providing legal support and government leadership, but it still has work to do when it comes to improving livability and job opportunities for immigrants, according to a new UT Austin report.
