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.

Another day another ruling by the supreme court to erode any confidence in their ability to do anything correctly. Rather than addressing a problem head on, we shall instead hyperfocus on the way it worked itself through our court system to avoid any responsibility at this time.

The Supreme Court didn’t rule whether the law is constitutional, but said that the appeals court didn’t follow the right steps
so nothing of substance has been decided here, this is just a procedural step
It’s a bit more than procedural. The law is allowed to be enforced until another decision is reached. Now it’s up to the governor-for-life what to do with that.
That’s huge information and explains the recent news. Thanks.
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.

Justice Samuel Alito had issued the block as the high court considered an appeal from the Biden administration, which has argued Senate Bill 4 is unconstitutional because it interferes with federal immigration laws.
In February, U.S. District Judge David Ezra in Austin blocked SB 4, saying the law “threatens the fundamental notion that the United States must regulate immigration with one voice.” Attorney General Ken Paxton’s office immediately appealed the ruling to the U.S. 5th Circuit Court of Appeals, which reversed Ezra’s ruling.
Earlier this year, a bipartisan immigration bill failed in the U.S. Senate after Trump told Republicans not to vote for it, in part so that he could campaign on the issue.
He was heavily criticized for a “zero tolerance” policy that required Border Patrol agents to separate children from their parents and using racist language to describe migrants.
Abbott signed SB 4 in December, marking Texas’ latest attempt to try to deter people from crossing the Rio Grande.
Last week, Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund and the National Immigration Law Center also filed a lawsuit on behalf of La Union del Pueblo Entero, an advocacy group in the Rio Grande Valley founded by farmer rights activists César Chávez and Dolores Huerta.
