Alito is right whether you like it or not. Texas can’t supercede federal law on immigration. Immigration is a federal issue.
That being said I’m glad Texas and Gregg Abbott are doing exactly what they’re doing because they’re forcing the issue and it’s a brilliant move on Abbott’s part. That’s also why you don’t see Biden doing anything about it.
The main issue here is Biden, Mayorkas and the rest of his administration IS NOT following law and needs to be held accountable.
We definitely don’t need any new immigration laws, we need enforcement of the laws on the books. The “comprehensive immigration reform” is a pure BS on both sides.
“Immigration is a federal issue.”
The position of Texas is that this is not immigration but an invasion, and the States do have authority to protect themselves from invasion.
“Texas can’t supercede federal law on immigration.”
Texas isn’t superseding federal immigration law. Feds aren’t enforcing it, and are actively aiding & abetting illegal immigration.
Feds have affirmatively rejected their Article IV, Section 4 duties, as delegated to them by the States. The responsibility to enforce the border therefore falls back to the States (who received that duty from the People). 10th Amendment applies.
How do you propose we fix that, if not actually having states defend their own borders. This is objectively an invasion The Feral government has a Constitutinal duty to protect states from invasion.
