Judge Jenkins on “Show-Me-Your-Papers” Law

It’s “logistically and financially dumb”

Dallas County Judge Clay Jenkins lays out the hard truth on the Texas MAGA Republican “Show-Me-Your-Papers” law

On Sunday’s WFAA political broadcast, Inside Texas Politics, host Jason Whitely interviewed Dallas County Judge Clay Jenkins regarding the local impact of the oppressive “Show-Me-Your-Papers” immigration law passed by the MAGA Republican-controlled Legislature.

Judge Jenkins’ remarks are well worth your time. He succinctly explains how the move by the MAGA Republican ideologues who control the Legislature and Greg Abbott will cost local taxpayers tens of millions and put Texans in greater danger of being victims of property and violent crime.

Below are key excerpts from the interview.
