Not so fast, what does the state of Texas plan to do with them?
They have no authority to send them back to Mexico if they refuse to go voluntary. Mexico will not take back anyone that is not a Mexican citizen.
If they turn them over to DHS they will just release them.
So the only thing this provides for is incarceration. That's going to be really expensive and wile it may give a added level of deterrence it really does nothing to solve the problem.
The best that can be hoped for is that the smugglers move their operation out of Texas to other states but since they're well established in the border towns that is unlikely.
Sorry to be the conveyor of sad news.
It’s a step in the right direction.
Better paying to keep them in prison than paying for them to live in and commit crimes in my town.
Also, I think parachuting them into their countries of origin or DC is worth a try.

Texas passes a law to lock up the invaders. The feds sue immediately and it gets expensive too. But meanwhile they are in jail a month. If Texas tries to deport them after they are released, A fed judge rules that the Constitution grants that power to congress. Never mind that Mayorkas is letting them all in.
As long as Biden or another Dem is in the WH and the people don't make them behave (Replacing Mayokas: even if Biden gets rid of Tweedledum he will appoint Tweedledee).
