This has always been the impediment to proper border enforcement - it’s completely under the power of the federal government, which is conveniently located far from the border. The border states have never had a say.
Pres Trump proved that it is completely under the Executive Branch.
Which is why he was able to do so many things. Imagine what could have happened if, in his first two years, Republicans actually helped him.
The founders could have never imagined that the federal govt would allow the mess we have today.
Yep, the Fed Gummint, unfortunately, has control of the borders, and of border policy. Border states, and others, are left in a bind. They can’t interfere in border policy, but they have to bear the burden. They can take some action, like enforcing E-Verify as FL is doing, but what the states can do is limited.
Looking at the Court decision, the Court asked if it was the role of Judiciary to force the Executive Branch to make more arrests. Seems like a logical decision if you believe in limiting the power of the Courts. In this case maybe Congress should pass laws that are clear as to what the Gov’t can and can’t do.
Perhaps it’s time to cease being a border state,
and once again become a Republic.
