The law hasn’t gone into effect so obviously there are no examples. But the feds have deported citizens accidentally. It’s a much bigger risk in a system with no due process like Texas has designed. A drivers license doesn’t prove citizenship, many people don’t have them, and even people who do don’t carry them all the time. |
Even with the process afforded by the federal government, the government has deported citizens before. I'm not sure why you think this is impossible. |
In Texas you do need either citizenship or proof of status (including refugee/asylum status) to get a license so that confusion and deportation case you speak of cannot happen as long as you carry a license. |
Obviously the Texas police will believe the Hispanic guy speaking broken English that actually he was naturalized 10 years ago and let him go home to get his naturalization papers to prove it. /sarc |
Great! Then you can deport anyone and everyone that is not carrying a license! What could go wrong? |
About 10% of the adult US population doesn’t have a license. They must all be illegals! |
Good grief. Where in the hell did you get these talking points? Your speculation is ridiculous. |
Yes, it is indeed. This is what Biden, et al, want. Unabated illegal immigration. Actions like this simply prove it. |
The fifth circuit blocked it. |

| I wish they let this go into effect. It’s entirely performative. Texas doesn’t have the resources to prosecute and imprison millions of immigrants. And mexico won’t accept deportations from Texas. So Texas would quickly move into the same “catch and release” system that they’ve been belly aching about. |
I think the bolded bit is key here. Why are we not demanding better from Mexico? The influx is partly their fault. |
Mexico is smart enough to only want to deal with federal deportations, not state ones. |
Ummm..... Who sued so that Texas could not take this action????? |
Ummm... Do you know anything about the Fifth Circuit? Anything at all? |
