[American Thinker] So when are immigration policy and immigration law the exact same thing?
Only when you are the Biden administration, which had been desperate to stop Texas from enforcing federal law on an illegals invasion, while trying to pretend that it wouldn't dream of allowing every illegal into the country who wants in, even though that's exactly what it is doing.
Which brings us to the Supreme Court's clarity on the matter this morning.
According to the Washington Post:
The Supreme Court on Tuesday cleared the way for Texas to begin enforcing, for now, one of the nation’s harshest immigration laws, which opponents say would disrupt more than a century of federal control over international borders.
The law, known as S.B. 4, makes it a state crime for migrants to illegally cross the border and allows Texas officials to deport undocumented individuals. It was passed last year amid a historic surge in border crossings — part of Gov. Greg Abbott’s (R) push to expand the state’s role in immigration enforcement, which historically has been a federal responsibility.
The Supreme Court’s decision was divided and preliminary, with two justices in the majority urging a lower court to quickly decide whether to allow the law to remain in effect while appeals continue. That approach drew dissent from the three liberal justices, two of whom said the majority was inviting "further chaos and crisis in immigration enforcement."
I don't know how it would "disrupt" any "federal control over the border" since there is no federal control over the border. Or more to the point, the federal government, in the name of policy, is literally ignoring the law, which is paramount over policy.
The law says you can't enter illegally.
