This comes on the heels of horrifying news about ten illegal immigrants who died of heat exhaustion in a trailer in San Antonio the other day. You could honestly say that people are dying to get in. One has to admire the character of individuals who are willing to risk death for a better life. But it's a darn shame that residents of Mexico can't have that better life they seek in their home country.
FWIW, The county in which San Antonio is situated is not listed here as a "sanctuary county."
In any event, there's a notice posted online advertising what they call a "Mass sit-in" at the Texas state capitol. Notice posted here. Excerpt:
Immigrant Youth From Across The Country Come To Texas For First Undocumented Led Escalated Action Under The Trump Administration
Who: Undocumented youth, parents, and allies
What: Mass sit-in at Texas Attorney General’s Office, in the first and largest undocumented led direct action since Trump’s inauguration. 300 W 15th St, Austin, TX
When: Wednesday, July 26th 10:30 AM
Heads up, ICE
Travis County, where Austin is located, is listed as a sanctuary county.
By the way, in case anyone doesn't know this already, conservatives don't fear immigrants. They fear that immigrants, discouraged by political forces from assimilating, will attempt to import the type of government that created the situation they risked their lives to escape.
