According to the Texas Tribune, conservative activists are calling for Texas Governor Greg Abbott to call a special session to address Sanctuary Cities.

“It’s not good enough,” said Katrina Pierson, a Dallas conservative activist and spokeswoman for the national Tea Party Leadership Fund. “If he continues to think it is enough concern that Texans could be hurt, then he just needs to call a special session or sign an executive order.”

Pierson noted that other states with Republican governors, such as New Mexico and South Carolina, had long ago ushered in tough reforms against so-called “sanctuary” policies in their states. North Carolina, amid strong objections from Democrats, banned them last week.

“There’s no reason to put this off,” Pierson said, echoing concerns other conservatives activists have been airing in recent days.

Governor Abbott appeared on The Chad Hasty Show last week and ruled out a special session. Instead, he wants to make the issue of Sanctuary Cities an issue during election season and then address the problem in 2017.
