The Mississippi state legislature has passed a bill that will make illegal immigration a state crime.<\/p>\n

The State Senate passed SB2114<\/a> last week and sent the bill to the desk of Gov. Tate Reeves (R) to sign it into law. Reeves has until April 13 to sign or veto the bill.<\/p>\n

According to the summary<\/a> of the bill, it would \u201cprohibit the illegal entry into or illegal presence in this state by a person who is an alien.\u201d<\/p>\n

The bill also provides for the enforcement of the new prohibition and also provides immunity from liability and indemnification for law enforcement for enforcing the would-be law.<\/p>\n

Further, the bill provides a means to remove criminal illegals from the state.<\/p>\n

If signed into law, the bill would take effect on July 1.<\/p>\n
