Supreme Court permits Texas police to arrest people who illegally cross the border as the SB 4 legal clash continues - eviltoast
The ruling allows Texas to start enforcing SB 4 while a lawsuit over its constitutionality remains pending before a federal appeals court.

Didn’t we used to look down on countries that jailed immigrants just for crossing the border? Not exactly where I want my tax dollars going.

    Funny thing is that immigration is a matter of two parties: the receiving country and the country of origin. Even if the Supreme Court of the US says it’s OK for Texas to deport…Texas doesn’t have any agreement with Mexico or any other country to deport people to.

    Mexico already said they only have an agreement with the US…not with f’ing Texas.

    So, any caught immigrants in Texas will either have to be shipped to some country that will take them, or be kept in Texas jail.

    Either way, it will be expensive. It will create a humanitarian crises, and it will create an unsafe situation for Americans abroad, in particular in Mexico.

    The Supreme Court has forgotten that International agreements take precedence over local laws.
