Feds warn Texas not to enforce state-level immigration bill

[susano]

I doubt very much their process is or will be "derailed". There will be more security apparatus than you can think of when all is said and done. As I have suggested, the only way out of this mess it to stop the incentives and stop the funding of the complexes involved.

It will be loss of freedom for us but the spigot will remain open. Much as is the case with "controlled substances". If you're not an abuser or addict and need something for back pain, you're treated like a criminal. If you're a homeless addict, you get free fentanyl.

#BREAKING ACCESS DENIED: Texas Attorney General
[MENTION=9524]Ken[/MENTION]PaxtonTX
responds to DHS denying the agency’s demands to get access to Shelby Park in Eagle Pass—Paxton makes a list of counter-demands:

“By February 15, DHS must supply the official plat maps and deeds demonstrating the precise parcels to which they claim ownership, an explanation of how Texas is preventing access to those specific parcels, documentation showing that Eagle Pass or Texas ever granted permission for DHS to erect infrastructure that interferes with border security, and proof of Congress empowering DHS to turn a Texas park into an unofficial and illegal port of entry. If the federal government is going to make such claims, it must provide proof.”

LMAO about the people on the street "doing the vaccine"!

I don't put anything past the bunch of traitors in DC and that includes switching to flying a non stream of jumbo jets straight into the country or putting the migrants and boats like they do it the Mediterranean. Then the governors and those helping are going to need ships and boats and to interdict them. Can't be stopped if flown in.

There's wishing and then there's doing. I'm not suggesting to underestimate their ambition, but it's also crucial to stay realistic. They've got unlimited cash because they have the printing press but they don't have a magic wand, no matter how strongly they believe they do...

I've been checking google news and this story isn't even making it there. I wonder why?

The Marxist media organs are terrified of real news.

They know what will happen if this comes down to the fedgov gunning down US citizens in order to keep the border wide open and the invasion ongoing.

Thanks for putting up the letter, PAF. Other than saying your request is denied, I think my favorite part is "your home-cooked maps".

I have a hunch that these beltway insiders see everyone in Texas as a bunch of dumb redneck hicks who will be easily intimidated by their demands. They're wrong.

Notice anything about it?

Key senators cut deal to give US new power to clamp down on border crossings
https://www.cnn.com/2024/01/26/politics/senate-deal-shutdown-border/index.html
{Manu Raju | 26 January 2024}

Senate negotiators have agreed to empower the US to significantly restrict illegal migrant crossings at the southern border, according to sources familiar with the matter, a move aimed at ending the migrant surge that has overrun federal authorities over the past several months.

The Senate deal, which is expected to be unveiled as soon as next week, would also speed up the asylum process to consider cases within six months – compared with the current system, under which it could take up to 10 years for asylum seekers.

The details provide a new window into high-profile negotiations that have been going on for months – as Senate leaders hold out hope they can attach the deal to aid to Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan as domestic and international crises loom. The plan would also put pressure on Republicans to decide whether to greenlight these new authorities or reject the plan as former President Donald Trump has urged the GOP to defeat anything short of what he calls a “perfect” bill.

President Joe Biden, in a rare statement on ongoing congressional negotiations, said the deal that Senate negotiators have worked toward is both tough and fair.

“What’s been negotiated would – if passed into law – be the toughest and fairest set of reforms to secure the border we’ve ever had in our country,” he said in the statement Friday. “It would give me, as President, a new emergency authority to shut down the border when it becomes overwhelmed. And if given that authority, I would use it the day I sign the bill into law.”

Under the soon-to-be-released package, the Department of Homeland Security would be granted new emergency authority to shut down the border if daily average migrant encounters reach 4,000 over a one-week span. If migrant crossings increase above 5,000 on average per day on a given week, DHS would be required to close the border to migrants crossing illegally not entering at ports of entry. Certain migrants would be allowed to stay if they prove to be fleeing torture or persecution in their countries.

Moreover, if crossings exceed 8,500 in a single day, DHS would be required to close the border to migrants illegally crossing the border. Under the proposal, any migrant who tries to cross the border twice while it is closed would be banned from entering the US for one year.

The goal of the trio of negotiators – GOP Sen. James Lankford of Oklahoma, Independent Sen. Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona and Democratic Sen. Chris Murphy of Connecticut – is to prevent surges that overwhelm federal authorities. The Biden administration and Senate leaders have been heavily involved in the talks, and more details of the deal are expected to be released in the coming days.

In December alone, there were over 300,000 migrant encounters. The source said if the new legislation were in effect, the border would be shut down now to illegal migrants. Another source familiar with the matter said that certain migrants would be allowed to stay if they show they are fleeing persecution — and that there would still be a minimum of 1,400 asylum applications that could be processed though legal ports of entry while the emergency authorities are in effect.

But the push to release a deal comes as Trump has rallied Republicans to reject any immigration compromise as he campaigns against Biden’s handling of the border. But a number of top Senate Republicans, including Mitch McConnell, say that the issue must be dealt with now since Democrats are willing to approve tougher restrictions.

Congress won't do that.

But if they did, what's to stop Biden from just continuing to fund what Congress refuses to fund by reallocating money that Congress allocated elsewhere like Trump did for the wall?

As it turns out, it's the President who has the power of the purse.

IIRC, the first President in modern times who openly said he would defy all other branches of government was Barrack Obama: "I have a pen and I have a phone".

So, you are acknowledging that this is an invasion and the border is overwhelmed.

So, take action now, instead of waiting on Congress to pass some meaningless bill.

But of course, that's all rhetorical.

IIRC, the first President in modern times who openly said he would defy all other branches of government was Barrack Obama: "I have a pen and I have a phone".

And he straight out admitted that his DACA order was unconstitutional and, IIRC, the SCOTUS later ruled it could not be overturned by Trump (or some aspect of it)!!! Is that right?
