A law does not override the Constitution. Even if they pass this monstrosity, Texas can flip them the finger.

Unconstitutional on its face, therefore void. Fedgov has the responsibility to enforce borders, but that doesn’t take away the state’s right to defend itself from invasion.....and that mission belongs to the militia exclusively.

This would prevent plaintiffs - like the State of Texas - from filing suit in Texas federal courts.

That doesn't leave much wiggle room, so don't be surprised when Texas goes all Chuck Norris on you!
