A federal appeals court heard arguments Wednesday from Texas and the federal government about whether it should continue blocking a new Texas law that would let state police arrest migrants suspected of entering the U.S. illegally.

The three-judge panel from the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans now has to rule on the appeal of a lower court’s injunction that stopped Senate Bill 4 from going into effect. The same panel decided to keep SB 4 on hold a week ago until it could rule on whether the law is constitutional.

The Biden administration and civil rights organizations sued Texas to stop the law, claiming SB 4 is unconstitutional because it interferes with federal immigration laws.

Anyone here in Texas who disagrees with the law is WELCOME TO LEAVE - there are 49 other states with about half of them PERFECTLY HAPPY to have America-Haters move in.

We the posters need to keep our Representatives, Senators and
others informed and pushing for border security. Our nation is
changing dramatically either for the good or the bad. I guess
that has been true ever since Columbus sailed in 1492.

Of course it’s a crime. It’s trespassing.

“because the federal government isn’t doing enough to stop illegal immigration.”

The feral government is doing NOTHING to stop illegal immigration. It is promoting the invasion.

Kudos, Texas and Gov. Abbott.
