Sooo. What's happening here is the SCOTUS just hung illegal immigration around Biden and the democrats and they can no longer make any claims they aren't allowing an invasion. That's how I see it.

You can be your lilly white butts that Trump will use that to bludgeon Biden about the head and shoulders. And the polling already shows how much Americans hate Bidens policy. He can't claim he doesn't own it now.

The media might consider them conservative but most actual conservatives KNOW that Robert's has been compromised and most THINK Barrett is following suit. Robert's has a terrible track record since being appointed and his rulings as a Supreme Court Justice show a massive and immediate shift in his ideology from his time as a judge in lower courts.

Nailed it.

Federal Government has the responsibility and duty, first.
Ports of entry, the process is a Federal responsibility and duty.
I have zero issues with any state picking up the ball to secure their own borders with fencing or walls...which will aid in restrictions on illegal entry and help to send immigrants to the ports of entry under federal control for the legal process.

If anyone wants to come here, do it legal through the ports of entry and processes. Period.

Dude...I'm not disagreeing with you. That wasn't the original question or my original point. I agree with you on Roberts and I think it's too early to really get a good read on Barrett. Hopefully she doesn't follow suit long-term. Best we can do is hope at this point.

I remember when some folks was salivating over these Justices being sworn in 😏

Robert is compromised. He illegally adopted 2 Irish girls thru a South American adoption agency.

Kangaroo Court.

On the flip side, IF Trump is elected and shuts down the border, whats to stop a liberal state like CA or NM from allowing illegals in, if they chose to? If Texas can stop it, others could allow it, right? I’m playing devil’s advocate here, because I wish every state would do whatTX is.
Also, it wasn’t that long ago that drug use was illegal under federal law (and still is), yet well-before the acceptance of it got rolling, those early states were allowing it.

This is why I am not a lawyer.

If the border is porous in AZ, NM or CA and if the Federal Government refuses to fix it, then AZ, NM or CA should be able to secure it if they so choose. We are talking about the flood of illegal immigration across a real physical border, not legal immigration and asylum seekers at Federal ports of entry. If AZ, NM or CA are just watching it happen then they are allowing it already.

Maybe I didn't do a good job of communicating but I wasn't disagreeing either. Just making the point that we don't really hold any branch of government even when they tell us we do.

Bastards

That's a good point!

But, I don't know that the other side can be ousted with an election since they don't play fair.

I have no issue with those who choose to come here through legal channels, but they need to be fully vetted and understand and abide by the laws here just like those of us who are born here are supposed to do.

There should be limited entry points as there seem to be with any other country.

Can anyone name any other country that you can just cross anywhere and be granted the benefits that we grant those who come here?

The ones who should be really pissed off are those immigrants who did come here through the proper channels.

That’s kinda what I was thinking, or rather hoping[/] that [i]they were thinking.

Kinda like allowing school-led prayer in schools. It sounds good on the surface until you realize that not everyone prays to God. Next thing you know you’ve got a Muslim teacher or principal leading the entire class in a prayer to Allah right after they say the pledge of allegiance in the morning.

I'm with Fatty, we may loose this battle, but hopefully it will help us win the "war". As if it weren't already obvious, the federal gov is now siding with illegal immigrants over a states rights to protect its citizens and borders.

Can't we post up with a passel of ruger 10/22s and make it really uncomfortable to cross the border? I'm not talking full out actual war just a little bit less lethal.im thinking just 2-300 folks and a few bricks of 22 somebody will setup a grill maybe some ice cold beverages and hot dogs. No binary triggers before 9am though.

Does the supreme court have an army? Rhetorical question....

If Trump is elected , lets out Roberts illegal activity / compromise , get him removed and Trump can pick his replacement.
