Too bad for Texas that the constitution outlines that only the federal government has the right to deal with other countries. Both the Treaty Clause and Logan Act cover this base. Texas is wrong.
Texas has much bigger problems they should be dealing with. Having a reliable grid should be a much bigger priority than the border, but Texas would rather kill people (at the border, or just in their own homes during a snowstorm) than fix their actual problems.
The Border Patrol and Customs (in the Department of Homeland Security) is actually responsible for securing borders. States do not get to decide how their borders are enforced.
We all have to deal with illegal immigration, most of which doesn’t even happen on the southern border. We manage to do it without building death traps or tricking people into getting on busses and sending them to states we don’t like.
I know Texas and Abbot think they’re special but they’re wrong.

Their current solution illegally crosses the border itself.

But hey, that’s the republican MO.

Killing people with buoy saws and nets is absolutely not a partisan issue. What is that we’re discussing here, again?
There’s an easy way to avoid the murder buoy saws called “stop crossing the border illegally”.

The vast majority of illegal immigrants overstay their visas. You’re looking at the southern border, you should be looking at airports
You seriously think Texas has to deal with more immigration than the entirety of the rest of the U.S.?
Critical thinking really needs to be taught in school.

I mean, states DO get to determine a hell of a lot about their borders.
Immigration mostly isn’t one, though.
