AUSTIN   A shoving match and war of words nearly turned into a fistfight on the Texas House floor Monday, the final day of a bitterly contentious 140-day legislative session. This session has been very, very difficult,  said Rep. Celia Israel, D-Austin.  There are enough of us here who remember a time in Texas when respect and decorum ruled the day. Those rules flew out the House door when a group of protesters crashed the chamber s gallery Monday, chanting opposition to the so-called sanctuary cities ban. Legislators approved a bill this year that would force local governments to enforce federal immigration laws, what opponents call a show-me-your-papers law.Angry illegal aliens flooded the Texas State Capitol building.

Ramon Romero and Cesar Blanco, both Democrats, waved to the noisy crowd. Republican Matt Rinaldi of Irving, a fervent supporter of the anti-immigration legislation, approached the Latino Democrats. They said Rinaldi told them he had called U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement to report the protesters, who were largely Hispanic.The Democrats were enraged. A shoving match ensued, and lawmakers accused one another of making violent threats.  Rinaldi said a Democrat eventually threatened to  come get  him. Rep. Justin Rodriguez, D-San Antonio, who didn t witness the initial altercation, said he later heard Rinaldi say,  I ll put a bullet in your head,  to the Democrat he alleged was menacing.

That was before we had a president who took illegal immigration seriously. Trump s strong position of illegal immigrants has given local lawmakers some hope of restoring law and order to states like Texas that are overwhelmed with an exploding illegal immigration population.
