if you look at this, texas saying they want to enforce immigration, that this would be a thing that texas law enforcement would want to do, that they would be on board with this. but when you ask local law enforcement, you get something of a different answer. julia, what do they say? >> reporter: well, a lot of them say they just don't have the resources. if you look at smaller towns in texas counties, that are stretched so thin. they don't have the resources to arrest people at traffic stops who they might suspect entered the country illegally. it's not clear that they're going to get anymore funding to carry this out. it doesn't just stop with them. they would then have to send that person who's arrested to a prosecutor who's already having to balance whether or not they prosecute the dangerous criminal or the migrant who's living peacefully in the country, although illegally. there are a lot of questions about resources and exactly how they would do this. training is a big question. to us judges who have never been trained in immigration law because that's always been handled by immigr

what this law would do would be to make it under texas law. it would allow texas law enforcement to arrest migrants, to arrest anyone suspected of crossing the border illegally and perhaps most interestingly, it would allow texas judges to issue de facto deportation orders. the last one is the one raising the most questions. deportations are complicated processes that require agreements between the united states and whatever country the person is being removed to. it's never been done by state authorities and from the people i've spoken to on the ground, it's unclear how removals would actually be carried out by anyone other than the federal authorities who already carry them out. there are a lot of questions about how this law could actually be implemented on the ground. the general expectation from people on the ground is that if the law is allowed to stand and go into effect today, the results would be pretty chaotic. >> alan, how does this compare with the law in arizona, more than 14 years ago. much of that ended up being tossed out by co
