Texas Makes History… This Would Defeat Biden In No Time

Texas Makes History… This Would Defeat Biden In No Time

The recent passage of Texas Senate Bill 4 (SB 4) has sparked a significant discussion about states’ rights in enforcing immigration laws, particularly in light of the federal government’s perceived failure to adequately address the issue. This bill, which allows state and local law enforcement in Texas to arrest illegal aliens for their unauthorized entry, marks a potential shift in how states respond to the immigration crisis.

SB 4 also empowers state judges to return illegal aliens to Mexico and includes provisions for jail time for repeated offenses. The bill passed along party lines, with only one Republican senator, Brian Birdwell, dissenting based on constitutional concerns. Birdwell argued that immigration is a federal responsibility, though historically, states have regulated immigration.

The bill’s passage comes amid a report from the House Homeland Security Committee estimating that Joe Biden’s border policies have cost taxpayers $451 billion. With local communities bearing the brunt of this burden, the argument is that states like Texas have the right, and indeed the responsibility, to protect their citizens.

Furthermore, SB 3, also passed by the Texas legislature, provides funding for border barrier infrastructure and addresses the issue of illegal alien communities such as Colony Ridge near Houston. This area has become a hub for cartel activity, emphasizing the need for state intervention.

The financial impact of illegal immigration is significant not just for Texas but for all states. A study by the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) estimated the nationwide cost at $182 billion this year, with states covering most of these expenses.

Legal challenges to SB 4 are expected, potentially setting up a confrontation with the 2012 U.S. Supreme Court decision in U.S. v. Arizona, which limited states’ authority in immigration enforcement. Additionally, there’s a call for red states to challenge the Plyler v. Doe decision, which guarantees public education for children in the U.S. illegally.

This approach contrasts with practices in blue states, where local authorities sometimes release illegal aliens with criminal charges against ICE’s requests. The argument posited is that if blue states can defy federal immigration laws, red states should have the latitude to enforce them.

The effectiveness of Texas’ new legislation and its potential as a model for other states will largely depend on Governor Greg Abbott’s commitment to enforcing these laws. The situation presents a pivotal moment in the ongoing debate over states’ roles in managing immigration and addressing the challenges posed by illegal entries.
