Which will work, right up to the time when State Police show up on their doorsteps with warrants for their arrest.

You keep telling yourself that. You keep telling yourself that arresting elected officials and decorated police officers are going to make you look good...
It isn't about looking good.
It's about forcing compliance with United States immigration law.
It's about inter-agency cooperation designed to facilitate enforcement of such law.
It's about *****-slapping those who refuse to extend that inter-agency cooperation, as required by their State, and their Country.
It's not meant to be a popularity contest.

Time will tell, whether the Texas statute has any teeth.
We can only hope that it does, or that it goes, quickly, all the way to the newly-configured 5-4 SCOTUS, to be validated.
All it will take is one such law, successfully withstanding the inevitable court challenges.
Once one such law passes muster, sit back and watch the fun, as dozens of other States and jurisdictions rush to fill the vacuum with similarly-crafted statute.
Operation ******* II.
Great fun.
