49% : "Republican voters, particularly Republican primary voters, favor highly restrictive and punitive measures when it comes to immigration and border security.
46% : "Our goal is to file the lawsuit far enough in advance into the entry of effect of the law in March of 2024 that we're able to present our argument in court and make sure that it's heard in time to prevent this law from ever going into effect and resulting in the arrest of a person," said David Donatti, a senior staff attorney with the ACLU.
43% : Constitutionally, authority over border security falls to the federal government.
42% : SB 4, passed by both chambers of the legislature almost exactly along party lines, gives Texas law enforcement authority to detain undocumented migrants.
34% : AUSTIN, Texas (KEYE) -- With Gov. Greg Abbott expected to approve a controversial measure, greatly expanding the scope of Texas' border security initiatives, the legality of that law is expected to be determined by the courts, with at least one lawsuit expected.
