Some Texas Republicans push for Gov. Greg Abbott to use state personnel to deport migrants

TEXAS, USA — As Gov. Greg Abbott takes extraordinary measures in the name of border security, some on the right are pushing him to go one unprecedented and legally questionable step further: declare an “invasion” under the U.S. Constitution and begin using state personnel to deport migrants.

It’s an incendiary idea that would spark immediate court challenges given that immigration law enforcement is a federal responsibility. But it has been gaining steam as Texas confronts the lifting of Title 42, the pandemic health rule that immigration authorities have used to rapidly expel migrants, including asylum-seekers.

A group of former Trump administration officials has been pressuring Abbott to enact the plan, as has the National Border Patrol Council, the union that represents agents and support staff of the U.S. Border Patrol. A group of state lawmakers is pressing the attorney general to weigh in on the legality of the proposal, and Abbott acknowledged Thursday he has been studying it.

From Wheels it's all hat and no cattle as usual I suspect......If it was DeSantis they would be deporting them by now.

When the Federal Gov't refuses to do it's job the States have the right to step in and protect their state from this BS. Go after the fake Id.s and the network that has been in place since Reagan........The I9 forms which is the law.....

Under Identity theft they can end this........along with corps and business taking a hit......

BTW. He bought the fences from the fed under disposal before Biden knew Texas was getting them up...........LMAO

Maybe as a compromise, that would please both Leftists and Americans- Gov. Abbott could use High Speed Rail to ship the Illegals out of his realm?

Libs love high speed choo choos- and a direct, no stop bullet train from El Paso to East LA to bring these immigrants straight to the Left wing homeland would both get the illegals out of the Americans' way in addition to showing a real use for HSR.
