Supreme Court Texas Immigration Ruling

[Anonymous]

The Supremes are allowing Texas to arrest and deport migrants, for now.

Worst decision since abortion ruling.

Conveniently right before wave of Haitians start arriving in Florida.

I am sure Desantis is paying attention.

I am a Democrat and an immigrant, SC decision is a good decision. We have to decide if we have a border or not, I have not seen anything like this ever in my life where people want to pretend their country has no border.

WTH is wrong with people here???

Immigration is a federal issue, not a state issue.

Also, in Texas, there is a not insignificant number of people who were born on this side of the border at home and do not have a passport or a birth certificate from a hospital. They are citizens - but could Texas "deport" them? It's a terrible idea.

I think it's a good decision as well. I am also an immigrant and will vote for Biden again.

DP...it allows the "texas authorities" to sweep up anyone who could be a migrant. ie anyone who looks Latino. Regardless of being a born American, a legal immigrant or someone who crossed illegally. IOW, no due process and it is the beginning of "brownshirts" basically.

Mexico says they won't accept deportations by Texas. So now what?

Texas does not have the resources to do massive sweeps that you dream about. But according to the law they passed, if someone crosses they can be immediately returned to Mexico. There is no due process needed for jumping the border. Deporting people that are here illegally is righting a wrong.

What has happened is that Texas is filling a void that Biden created. Texas has been begging the Biden administration to get a handle on the invasion of illegal immigrants and has been ignored.

The feds have essentially abandoned this issue, and have so for decades now. This is a less than ideal solution, but certainly preferable to another few decades of finger pointing while the problems get worse.

This is a talking point but is false. For many decades, Texas has been happy to have Mexicans cross the border. For recent decades, the US has been dealing with migrants from Central and South America crossing the border. Things are not perfect, but they aren't terrible.

This law is dumb as well as unconstitutional - which the Fifth Circuit belatedly realized.

What do you want them to do instead? The border situation is a disaster. And I say this as a liberal Democrat.

They can only be returned to Mexico if the government of Mexico cooperates...which isn't going to happen. Mexico will work with the United States, not with Texas.
