As I frequently note, there is a difference between being a conservative and a federalist. Conservatives want the U.S. to have secure borders and don't care who does that job. Federalists like open borders if POTUS decides to ignore the law. Alito is a federalist. I may start an Anti-Federalist Society soon, but I am a bit busy lately.

“interferes with the federal government’s enforcement of U.S. immigration laws.”
How?
The reason Texas moved on this, is because the Federal government wasn’t, and isn’t enforcing U.S. immigration laws.
I don’t see any interference whatsoever.

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.

For all we know Deep State has some or all of the SCOTUS under house arrest.

That would explain a lot.

SB4 would create chaos in the United States' efforts to administer federal immigration laws in Texas," Justice Department lawyers wrote.

Uh, that is misleading right there because there are no efforts to admnister federal immigration lawsin Texas. Presidential orders and under that table administrative direction in contravention of statuory law is not "administration of the law."

I think Alito is a good guy. He is a process guy, though.

It’s a prudent move by Alito.

It gives everyone a few days to talk about it, maybe even give SCOTUS the option of ruling on it.

It’s a seminal issue. Does a state have the right to enforce the law if the Fed Gov refuses to fulfill its role?

Don’t you mean the difference between a bush league chamber of commerce worshiping republiCAN’T and a strict constituionalist?
The constituition grants the fed the right to regulate immigration.
Period.
End of discussion.

Now if you wanted to by pass that pesky constitution thingie, you would have a team coming with things that will pass must, say, stopping people and asking for ID. If you do not have valid state recognized ID, we transport you back to the immigration holding area.
Cloward/Piven.
Overload the system.

But, noooo... instead we get bombarded with BS that we KNOW will get shot down by the courts.
This is intentional.
You don’t get votes by solving the problem.
You get votes by pissing people off!!!!
You are being played.
You are being played by the bush league chamber of commecc worshiping republiCAN’Ts that not only want but support the illegal wave.
Stop being played.
Stop being stupid.
Demand intellegence.
Demand results.

Justice Alito is more than likely putting a temporary stay in place until the SCOTUS conferences on the issue to decide whether or not to get involved.

Most educated folks are aware of the Federalist Papers. What most folk are not familiar with, was that these were a part of a dialogue in the public square. The Letters From a Federal Farmer (HTML)(EPUB) (PDF) were the other side of the discussion.

Among other things, the Anti-federalists wanted to see the inclusion of additional amendments, which came to be called the Bill of Rights. Fortunately, they won the day on this. Without it our gun laws would likely more resemble Canada's or Britain's by today.

I'd be happy with a more widespread knowledge of both sides of the discussions.
