Texas installing concertina wire along New Mexico border

[Az Joe]

I like it, now let’s do the AZ/CA border.

Anything the Just Us System does, anywhere, anytime, is Legal.

That's why they made themselves the Just Us System.

[Spktyr]

Land mines fall under NFA34, unfortunately. Each one would have to be approved by the Feds.

[Spktyr]

Texas is not part of that system, though.

[Spktyr]

Not arguing that, but it’s not going to do us a lot of good if a state gives the Feds grounds to arrest the entire state government and install puppets, now does it?

[Spktyr]

Depending on where and how deep, yes, it can be illegal. Also, where the hell would you get water to use for that out in West Texas? Otherwise, it’s just a big ditch.

[Newtoidaho]

All blue states should have this done to them to keep the liberal cockroaches from leaving.

[Fuzz]

Lol. Landmines in the Constitution.

[fortes fortuna juvat]

Not legal.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>..
“Not legal,” in a country where felonies are committed with impunity at every level of society virtually everyday, has become a term of derision hasn’t it?

[Jonty30]

The Tenth Amendment allows the state undefined and unlimited power within their state to do what they want. I presume this includes landmines.

[Spktyr]

Sure has - but there’s no point in Texas giving the Feds grounds to come and arrest the state government either. Also, really, really bad optics.

[Carriage Hill]

"... install a barrier in some parts along the Texas/New Mexico state line." Unless it's done along the ENTIRE BORDER, it's as worthless as teats on a bull.

[Navy Patriot]

Well, Texas is an Honorable part of the American Just Us System, as opposed to California, a Dishonorable part of the American Just Us System.

Both parts can use the American Just Us System's weaponization of Infrastructure right back at the American Just Us System.

It's happening a lot lately.

[Carriage Hill]

Does it say anything about the Feds being negligent in their duty, the state can supersede them and do it themselves?

[mfish13]

Vasquez (Dem, NM) lies but that is par for the course for a Dem.

[Responsibility2nd]

Not worthless. This sends a big FU to liberals everywhere who want to overrun the US with illegals.

Concertina Wire may not keep out more than a dozen or so wetbacks, but it will piss off all the right people.

That alone is worth it.

[Spktyr]

Supreme Court said “no” to that - remember the Arizona case, where they were told off?

[Carriage Hill]

Yes, now that you cite it. Thanks.

New Mexico Rep. Gabe Vasquez: “...political stunts that the Texas governor has cooked up to demonize immigrants”

Unfreaking believable. “Demonize immigrants.”

How strange there’s no “D” or “R” next to the representative’s name.

[Spktyr]

Going to be a bit of a problem doing that across the interstate highways... :P

Weren’t you one of the people saying that Abbott’s busing program would do nothing whatsoever since it wouldn’t remove all of them?
