The U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday let a Republican-backed Texas law take effect allowing state law enforcement authorities to arrest people suspected of crossing the U.S.-Mexico border illegally, rejecting a request by President Joe Biden's administration.
The court has a 6-3 conservative majority, and its three liberal justices dissented on Tuesday. The administration had asked the justices to freeze a judicial order allowing the Texas law to take effect while its challenge to the statute proceeds in the lower courts.
The law violates the U.S. Constitution and federal law by interfering with the U.S. government's power to regulate immigration, the administration has argued.
So what stops New York and California from issuing citizenship certificates and work permits to immigrants? After all SCROTUS just accepted immigration can be under state jurisdiction
Texas and Florida have been using state emergency funds to pay private companies 10000x markup to ship illegal immigrants around the nation for over a year and have not been charged for it. They are lying about jobs to trick migrants into this plot. This falls under the terms for human trafficking.
So no, it's perfectly legal for a state to move migrants around. Especially if you are not coercing them.
They have repeatedly deemed that states can overrule the federal government when it's the federal government's jurisdiction. They have repeatedly deemed the constitution is not enforceable. They have deemed that if they can argue vagueness in wording, it is either all encompassing or entirely non-binding based on the political leanings of issue. They have taken null cases with hypothetical damages in order to make rulings. The 3 Trump appointees deemed Roe v Wade settled law before overturning it.
If immigration is a state issue then I recognize Texas as an adversarial state and their citizens illegal immigrants, about half of my state would have to go back to Texas. So much Texas pride in the Midwest and not one single one of those fucks wants to go back because they know it's a dystopian shit hole only barely supported by a port that is economically necessary for the nation.
read in another article that up to 9% of all US citizens could live in Texas in 10 years.
right now, ~78 million Americans live in the Mexican/American border region, that's almost 23% of all Americans. border security is a huge issue - glad to see that the Supreme Court realizes that.
