Texas should keep enforcing it, claiming the courts are confusing and that they’ll revisit once the court resolves is conflicting opinions.

Absolutely, if I were Texas I’d say the Supreme Court already ruled on this and we are following them, not you. Unfortunately Texas ain’t what it used to be, so we’ll see.

Constitution is quite clear on this subject. And the subject is not "immigration" but "invasion." Texas has formally declared this is an invasion, not immigration, and is acting on that basis. Article I, Section 10 grants individual states the power to declare they are or are about to be, invaded.
… No state shall, without the consent of Congress, lay any duty of tonnage, keep troops, or ships of war in time of peace, enter into any agreement or compact with another state, or with a foreign power, or engage in war, unless actually invaded, or in such imminent danger as will not admit of delay.
That clause is clearly written for emergencies in which there is no time to wait for an, at framing, distant, federal government to declare it's an invasion. No other interpretation fits the plain original intent of the text. The states were left with the power to so declare and act on their own. By separation of powers this explicit exception falls under the individual sovereign states, not the Federal Congress—and its inferior court creations. Gov. Abbott should declare Fed courts, at least short of SCOTUS, have no jurisdiction to overrule Texas, and that as the matter, in the governing opinion of Texas, "will not admit of delay" that Texas will also not accept any Federal judicial delays, at least not short of SCOTUS.

Now if Biden wants to to appeal to SCOTUS, Texas AG Ken Paxton should argue there that not only is Texas clearly acting constitutionally, but also that the Federal Government, specifically President Biden, is acting not only unconstitutionally, in violation of the responsibilities he accepted with his Oath of office. AND that these officially declared invaders of Texas deserve to be considered both as its "enemies" and by extension under the Full Faith and Credit Clause as "enemies of the United STATES." And that by "adhering to [these] enemies, giving them aid and comfort" Joe Biden has committed Treason as defined by Article III §3. Thus AG Paxton should ask SCOTUS to order all appropriate employees of the Executive Branch to cease and desist such behavior, resume normal enforcement of the laws as written, and for SCOTUS to refer Joe Biden to Congress for Impeachment and Removal on grounds of Treason.

And if Deep State tells Texas that it will yank all federal funding to Texas unless Texas knuckles under...?

Texas is a red state in name only.

It hasn’t secured its elections or its budget from Deep State.
