Good for Abbott in not backing down. The risk of arrest rather than a debit card, hotel room, and free medical care may just cause a handful of illegal aliens to stay in Mexico rather than continue their trip northward.

Mainstream media is not reporting much on the issue which tells me they know that most people support Abbott's actions.

The real issue is not if Texas can be allowed to enforce immigration laws, it is if Biden can be allowed to NOT enforce immigration laws. Let’s hope that’s what the Supreme Court rules on.

Guess how many states are involved with Texas. Early last night I found out it’s 25..

I believe some of them are blue states too.

If I understood correctly, about half of them are.

Biden is involved with three wars, and now close to a civil war as well.

Biden’s handlers along with their kook allies in the media will try to spin this as if Biden is JFK and Abbott is Governor George Wallace type scenario in an attempt to stir up all the race crap again.

It is insane but perfectly inside their wheelhouse to attempt it.

No. They will invade Arizona and California instead.

Thanks to my governor. At least there’s one politician in this country who cares about America, Americans and Texans.

The federal government isn’t doing it’s job under bribeden. Maybe this is an opportunity for states to begin taking back power from the feds.

Until the republic is restored, there is no state vs fed.

There is only Deep State.

And this is just more Kabuki theater.

Federal preemption is irrelevant here because in this case the federal government is not attempting to exercise their constitutional authority to protect the U.S. against invasion or to enforce immigration law, they are deliberately aiding and abetting the BREAKING of our immigration laws while promoting the illegal invasion of our country. Texas has rightly determined that the feds have abdicated this authority, if not become literal enemies of the United States, and therefore is trying to do whatever it can to protect their state from an invasion. Any judge who could not clearly see this fact pattern should be tried right alongside the rest of the leftist traitors when, hopefully, CWII kicks off and the 21st Century version of the Nuremberg trials is held in its wake to bring every last leftist enemy to final justice.

Feds have completely abdicated their responsibility to enforce the immigration laws. I attended a presentation on this subject at my law school twenty years ago. Nothing has changed since then. States were discussing whether, in light of the Federal government’s failure, states had the obligation to pass immigration laws of their own.

"Biden And Abbott Have Set The Stage For One Of The Biggest State-Versus-Feds Immigration Fights In More Than A Decade"

Abbott needs to call the actions of the Traitorjoe kakistocracy for what they are - giving aid and comfort to the domestic and foreign enemies of the United States.

I believe this is more state versus state. Abbott is directing “migrants” to states which want to impose their will on Texas. The BS of the article is deflection. There are also reports of the border patrol welcoming national guard take-over in Texas.

The irony is, I am fast coming to the conclusion that states like New York are welcoming this. The peons who think that the schools are for their children need a taste of the New Order. The flood may even be so high as to get Abbott to do this.

“Courts traditionally have said that states have only a limited role to play when it comes to enforcing our immigration laws. “

And if the Feds don’t do their constitutionally mandated duty to protect the border then any state that wants to can tell the Feds and the courts for that matter to go to hell.

"Biggest State-Versus-Feds Immigration Fights In More Than A Decade."

A DECADE.!! It SHOULD be the the biggest sense 1776.! It's well pass time that the states slap the federal government around a bit and remind them who's REALLY in charge!! AND RESEND THE 17th. AMENDMENT.! :(
