They ignore law in some cases and have utilized parole authority at historic levels.
You mean like those law breaking Sanctuary Cities do? Time to end those, correct? I mean...since you're all about not usurping the authority of the federal government and such.
We are not going to close the border, so don’t try it yourself.
The RNC thanks the DNC for writing campaign ads for them.

@sober_teacher gives the laughing emoji because he knows the left is so full of shit on this issue because they fully support Sanctuary Cities. No response needed because no response can be given.
No I laugh because the whataboutism never end, and I just don’t feel like debating the pros and cons of what the “sanctuary cities” were intended to accomplish; which wasn’t to defy and usurp the authority of the federal government like Abbott is doing here.
Love that you’re not trying to defend Abbott here.
for all it's faults, the concept of sanctuary city policies is very hands off - "immigration enforcement is federal responsibility and our local jurisdiction isn't going to get involved".
texas is saying the federal govt is doing enough to enforce immigration, so we'll do it instead
these two things are very different
This seems WAYYYYY too simple. There's a US-Mexico Border... some distance back is simply "Texas" which they have every right to build whatever they want on... build a wall, used barbed wire etc.
Many of these sanctuary cities refuse to cooperate with federal law enforcement and even refuse to honor their jail holds.
I believe I read that the border patrol has authority 50 miles from the U.S. border.
Plus any wall they build won't account for liberal governors not doing anything in the other three SW border states.
Texas has always had this identity problem. That’s why some of them are so goddamned obnoxious and overbearing.
50 miles seems high, I mean it's only 20 miles off the coast to hit international waters...
Maybe a 100 miles?

So in your mind, any law the federal government doesn't like, they can ignore? The states are simply trying to require the federal government to enforce our countries immigration laws. So if Trump wins reelection, can he refuse to enforce current tax law if he wants to?
And we’re done here. You’re saying the Supremacy Clause of the constitution is null and void, states can block federal agents from their jobs whenever they like.
States don’t like how these laws are written abs enforced is more correct. The President’s EO powers are limited and hence this is why Congress needs to get involved.
I am starting to think a brown person stole Northern's factory job.
Or more accurately, they shipped his job to brown persons country for $5 a day.
LOL...are you saying those "liberal" governors can't set their own state border policy the way you think TX can?
So you're admitting that what TX is doing is BS political theater. Good. Progress.
The constitution says the federal government must protect the states from invasion. Biden is not holding up his end of the constitution.
The constitution also says that when being invaded, some of the rules can be nullified and the states can protect themselves.
The border issue is an invasion at this point. The cartels are controlling the border, shipping drugs over, and human trafficking. Biden has claimed there is not an issue and until recently when he tried using the border to get more money to Ukraine, he has ignored the issue.
The SC has said the Constitution confers unqualified sovereign authority over immigration to the federal govt.
Trump v. Hawaii, No. 17-965, slip op. at 30 (U.S. June 26, 2018) ( “For more than a century, this Court has recognized that the admission and exclusion of foreign nationals is a ‘fundamental sovereign attribute exercised by the Government’s political departments.’”
Fiallo v. Bell, 430 U.S. 787, 792 (1977)); Landon v. Plasencia, 459 U.S. 21, 32 (1982) ( “[T]he power to admit or exclude aliens is a sovereign prerogative.”
Nishimura Ekiu v. United States, 142 U.S. 651, 659 (1892); “It is an accepted maxim of international law that every sovereign nation has the power, as inherent in sovereignty, and essential to self-preservation, to forbid the entrance of foreigners within its dominions, or to admit them only in such cases and upon such conditions as it may see fit to prescribe.”
Perhaps you can quote the section of the Constitution that says states can defy the federal govt's sovereign authority in regard to immigration?
Sanctuary cities do not violate federal laws.

Where does The Constitution say this? Exactly….Thanking you in advance…….
Immigration and invasion are different. The federal government has the authority to dictate immigration. They do not have the authority to allow the Mexican cartel to assist with human trafficking and the drug trade entering into a state.
There is evidence that China and ngo s are helping get people into the usa from across the world.
The usa has asylum laws where a person cannot seek asylum for economic reasons, but must be escaping persecution. Most of these people don't even meet asylum criteria.
All this boils down to is the federal government is willing allowing an invasion on the border, in this case, the Supreme Court rulings do not apply.
Do you have anything to back this up, Do You Own Research?
You trying to invent a name for it doesn't make it constitutional. Now - quote the Constitutional section that says states can usurp the sovereign power of the federal govt. Put up or...well...you know the rest.
"The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion"
Well, they can justify supporting a "dictator for a day" so there really isn't a limit.
