US Supreme Court lets Texas border enforcement law take effect

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.
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
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.
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.
