HB 7 is dangerously far-reaching. But we should also be worried about what it doesn’t say.
that have upended a sense of safety, the Texas Legislature is poised to add fuel to the fire, and reflects an intent to destabilize families and put the lives of thousands of children at risk with House Bill 7.
This bill will not only endanger the lives of migrants, but of all Texans. The powers granted to the Border Protection Unit are expansive, empowering state officers with a mandate to harass, arrest, detain, and remove those they suspect of illegally entering the country. The bill includes zero mention of how children and families arriving in Texas will be impacted, which leaves room for harmful interpretation and discretion. If the Border Protection Unit apprehends a family, detains and arrests the adult, what happens to the children? Where will they go? Who will safeguard the well-being of the children? How will they be reunited?
