Interview: Sen. Charles Perry on Border Security Bill SB 4

Senator Charles Perry (R-Lubbock) sat down with The Texan’s reporter Matt Stringer to discuss Senate Bill (SB) 4, the border security legislation that Republican lawmakers passed last year that is currently caught up in an ongoing court battle https://thetexan.news/issues/immigration-border-issues/texas-law-criminalizing-illegal-immigration-to-take-effect-after-supreme-court-denies-biden-administration-request/article_f328aafa-e621-11ee-a993-4736c73cd748.html. SB 4 was authored by Perry in the Senate and Rep. David Spiller (R-Jacksboro) in the House, and passed during the fourth special session https://thetexan.news/issues/criminal-justice/senate-again-passes-bill-criminalizing-illegal-immigration-allowing-judges-to-order-return-to-ports-of/article_53c37784-7feb-11ee-b2ba-f3b09605550d.html in November. “It’s very clear the states have the right to defend themselves, and that’s the heart of SB 4,” said Perry. “We’re not challenging federal supremacy. We’re saying you got supremacy. You just chose not to do anything with it. We’re going to take that role for you.”
