德州州长签署法律，禁止移民庇护城市

The governor of the southern U.S. state of Texas has signed a law banning so-called sanctuary cities and threatening fines and criminal charges for police departments and officers who refuse to comply with orders from federal immigration agents.

"Texas strongly supports the legal immigration that has been a part of our state from our very beginning. But legal immigration is different from harboring people who have committed dangerous crimes," Governor Greg Abbott said.

He added that law enforcement agencies "don\'t get to pick and choose which laws they will obey."

The Republican-led Texas legislature approved the law last week against the objections of Democrats, civil rights groups and an organization of police chiefs representing the state\'s largest cities. It is due to go into effect September 1.

德州州长格莱格·阿伯特说，“德克萨斯坚决支持合法移民。合法移民从我们建州伊始就是我们州的组成部分。但是合法移民和窝藏那些犯下危险罪行的人不同。”

他补充说，执法机构“不得自行挑选他们要遵守哪些法律。”

共和党领导的德克萨斯州立法机构上周在民主党人、民权组织和代表该州一些大城市警察局长的机构反对的情况下，批准了这部法律。这部法律将于今年9月1日生效。
