Texas Legislature Sends Anti-Immigrant Bill to Gov. Greg Abbott
---------------------------------------------------------------

In Texas, state lawmakers have sent a harsh anti-immigrant bill to
Republican Governor Greg Abbott, who's promised to sign it into law. SB
4, a so-called "show your papers" bill, will outlaw sanctuary cities and
allow police officers to check the immigration status of anyone they
detain.
