Texas Gov. Abbott Signs Bill Which Allows Arrest Of Border Crossers
They come over the border every day, each day, more than ever before in history. Please tell me you understand this as real.

Federal courts, including the U.S. Supreme Court, have ruled that immigration laws can only be enforced by the federal government. But some Texas Republicans have said they hope the new law will push the issue back before a U.S. Supreme Court that is more conservative since three appointees of former President Donald Trump joined it.
Texas lawmakers know this is law illegal, and completely ignores asylum laws. But it's Greg Abbot's Texas, so defying the federal law and the constitution is just another example of right wing BAMB, with a goal to get justices to legislate from the bench.

So, due process should be suspended? Then Congress needs to put that in writing and send it the President's desk.
Not to get off topic but just as an Example , Joe V Wade' was suspended ..Why ? It was being abused 60million + abortions .
Asylum Seeking was used to cover the first bunch of Illegals okay fine , Now the term is being abused so lets call it what it is . ILLEGAL .
These people have to go somewhere.
Not true and an invalid comparison.
Again, this is on Congress. No number of executive orders can fix asylum issues.

Short Story Fiction is on another forum. I think you're confused a little bit.
Ok, sure! You must be a Texan! I am curious though, how do YOU think these new laws will be enforced? Just how exactly is a state trooper going to determine whether someone is an "illegal" or not? Can you describe what an "illegal" looks like? What specific behaviors do "illegals" exhibit that would make them easy to target? Is there a field "legality" test they can administer?
