Supreme Court gives Texas green light to start arresting, deporting illegal aliens

The Biden regime’s efforts to keep the southern border wide open have hit another snag after the Supreme Court ruled that Texas is free to enforce a new law giving local police the power to arrest migrants.

The conservative-majority court rejected an emergency request by the Biden regime to bar the new law, arguing that states have no authority to legislate on immigration. Three liberal Supreme Court justices agree, having dissented on the ruling.

SB4, as the new Texas law is called, allows law enforcement throughout the Lone Star State to arrest migrants who illegally cross into the United States from Mexico. From there, police are allowed to impose criminal penalties, including deportation back to Mexico at a judge’s order.

“Texas is the nation’s first-line defense against transnational violence and has been forced to deal with the deadly consequences of the federal government’s inability or unwillingness to protect the border,” Texas argued in its court filing.

?? HUGE WIN: Texas has defeated the Biden Administration’s and ACLU’s emergency motions at the Supreme Court. Our immigration law, SB 4, is now in effect. As always, it’s my honor to defend Texas and its sovereignty, and to lead us to victory in court.

Opponents says SB4 defies 100-year Supreme Court precedent

After Texas passed SB4, a federal judge blocked it from taking effect in response to a Biden regime lawsuit. Then, the New Orleans-based 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said in a brief order that SB4 could go into effect starting March 10 unless the Supreme Court intervened.

The Supreme Court ended up doing just that, but ended up reiterating the validity of SB4 in its majority ruling, this after Justice Samuel Alito issued a temporary freeze on March 4 to give the highest court time to consider the Biden regime’s request.

According to Solicitor General Elizabeth Prelogar, the new Texas law is “flatly inconsistent” with Supreme Court precedent dating back a century.

“Those decisions recognize that the authority to admit and remove noncitizens is a core responsibility of the national government, and that where Congress has enacted a law addressing those issues, state law is preempted,” Prelogar said, noting further that the appeals court failed to explain why SB4 should go into effect.

Some in the GOP believe that the reason the Biden regime so adamantly wants wide-open borders in America is because allowing a constant flood of low-wage labor will help boost GDP to the tune of $7 trillion, they claim.

Nearly all of the jobs that have been added to the official numbers under Biden, upwards of 10 million of them, have gone to foreign-born workers.

“This unprecedented surge in illegal immigration isn’t an accident,” commented Eric Ruark, director of research for Numbers USA, a nonprofit group that advocates for immigration restriction. “It is the result of deliberate policy choices by the Biden administration.”

In the comments, someone noted that while this is something, “the horse is already out of the barn,” meaning tens of millions of illegals are already in the United States, many of them already working in areas far from Texas where they will never be deported.

“If we deport them all, housing prices will drop, medical costs will drop, crime will drop, taxes will drop, utilities will drop …,” suggested another. “They are a net drain on the economy and a deficit on the culture.”

“Texas should also arrest any federal authority assisting illegal invaders,” said another.
