The proposal would allow state and local police to arrest people crossing the border without authorization.
It would also give state judges the power to order people convicted of the offense to return to their countries of origin.
Supporters of the bill say it was necessary to ensure security along the state’s southern border.
Opponents say it would lead to racial profiling and saddle the state with new costs.
The measure would require the state corrections department to take into custody people who are charged or convicted under the measure if local or county law enforcement agencies don’t have enough space to house them.
The provision allowing for the arrests of border crossers in between ports would not take effect until the Texas law or similar laws from other states have been in effect for 60 days .
