The U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday let a Republican-backed Texas law take effect allowing state law enforcement authorities to arrest people suspected of crossing the U.S.-Mexico border illegally, rejecting a request by President Joe Biden’s administration.
The court has a 6-3 conservative majority, and its three liberal justices dissented on Tuesday. The administration had asked the justices to freeze a judicial order allowing the Texas law to take effect while its challenge to the statute proceeds in the lower courts.
The law violates the U.S. Constitution and federal law by interfering with the U.S. government’s power to regulate immigration, the administration has argued.

So what stops New York and California from issuing citizenship certificates and work permits to immigrants? After all SCROTUS just accepted immigration can be under state jurisdiction
SJOTUS. They’re clowns, it’s a joke.
B/c, SCOTUS would then quickly issue a “non placet” order.
I am sure the Pope has already thought of a way around that in his ruling.

If it is, Texas should be sued … a lot.

I think they may be referring to Texas governor Abbott sending migrants on buses to DC a few times over the past year or so

Well in the above scenario NY and CA still aren’t shipping them to other states using lies and without telling the receiving state.
Texas and Florida have been using state emergency funds to pay private companies 10000x markup to ship illegal immigrants around the nation for over a year and have not been charged for it. They are lying about jobs to trick migrants into this plot. This falls under the terms for human trafficking.
So no, it’s perfectly legal for a state to move migrants around. Especially if you are not coercing them.
So the state of Texas gets to decide who is and is not an American citizen?
Arizona tried this a while back and the law got overturned eventually. I bet this one would as soon as they arrest a US citizen unlawfully.
When that U.S. citizen will almost certainly be brown? Doubtful.
Eventually, they’ll get one that’s just really tan
They’re in the same judicial district aren’t they? This shouldn’t even be a question.
Bingo

Well that was true yesterday.
This “supreme” court is illegitimate.
I’m sad to say that we had roughly 50 years of sensible judges. This is SCOTUS gone back to normal.

They have repeatedly deemed that states can overrule the federal government when it’s the federal government’s jurisdiction. They have repeatedly deemed the constitution is not enforceable. They have deemed that if they can argue vagueness in wording, it is either all encompassing or entirely non-binding based on the political leanings of issue. They have taken null cases with hypothetical damages in order to make rulings. The 3 Trump appointees deemed Roe v Wade settled law before overturning it.

Okay. You’re not a citizen anymore. And you no longer have any rights.
See why rights have to extend to everyone within our borders now?

Nope. Big government over there says you’re here illegally now. The guys with guns will be along anytime now to enforce your deportation. If you resist you’re going to be arrested and sentenced to work in the factory for no pay for several years and then dumped in Mexico.

To say nothing of RvW, do you really think the constitution doesn’t provide some rights beyond citizens? For context, check out the preamble to the Declaration of Independence. More importantly, you won’t find this delineation in the Bill of Rights. Immigrants are granted due process, as written in the 14th as “any person”. There are many protections granted to all, precisely because we believed all are equal. This is well established constitutional law.

No. Everybody. Full stop.
It never ceases to amaze me how citizens of a nation can be so utterly wrong about what’s in their own constitution and bill of rights.
And I say this as a Canadian, because we’ve got Canadians quoting the Second Amendment like it’s law up here.
sigh
Hang on, hang on, I think you missed it. It applies to “ALL PERSONS.” You’ll note that it does not include “unless you’re an illegal immigrant.”

Funny, I didn’t even comment on immigrant rights or the validity of RvW.
Isn’t this just gonna effectively move the federal border outside of Texas in terms of migration?
Thankfully, some cities have already come out and said they won’t enforce the law. It’s just a lawsuit away from bankrupting some of the bordertowns.
If immigration is a state issue then I recognize Texas as an adversarial state and their citizens illegal immigrants, about half of my state would have to go back to Texas. So much Texas pride in the Midwest and not one single one of those fucks wants to go back because they know it’s a dystopian shit hole only barely supported by a port that is economically necessary for the nation.

Almost like it’s larger than any single state…
Second largest state. Alaska is bigger.
Border security? Huge issue?
You really missed that reference?
