54% : SAN ANTONIO -- Texas Gov. Greg Abbott ordered state troopers on Wednesday to begin stopping and inspecting commercial vehicles coming across the U.S-Mexico border and said bus charters would be offered to take migrants to Washington, D.C.Texas officials also said they would begin "increased military activity" on the southern border and install razor wire at some low-water along the river to deter migrants from crossing.
54% : When that happens, it is expected to draw potentially thousands more migrants to the southern border.
54% : Border Patrol officials say they are planning for as many as 18,000 arrivals daily once the health policy, known as the Title 42 authority, expires in May.
51% :Cuccinelli said in practice, he envisions the plan would look similar to the enforcement of Title 42, which circumvented U.S. obligations under American law and international treaty to provide asylum.
49% : Their plan involves an interpretation of the U.S. Constitution to have the National Guard or state police forcibly send migrants to Mexico, without regard to immigration laws and law enforcement procedures.
34% : Still, some former Trump administration officials are pressing Abbott to declare an "invasion" and give state law enforcement new authority to turn back migrants -- essentially bestowing enforcement powers that have been a federal responsibility.
