Biden Admin Threatens To Sue Texas Over Law Giving State Power To Crack Down On Illegal Immigration | Eastern North Carolina Now

    The Biden administration is threatening to sue Texas over a new state law that makes it a crime to illegally enter the state, giving state officials more power to take steps to secure the border amid the ongoing illegal immigration crisis.

    In a letter sent on Thursday to Republican Governor Greg Abbott, the Justice Department accused Texas of interfering with the federal government by moving to enforce immigration law. Texas Republicans have said the law is necessary as illegal crossings have skyrocketed and deportations have slowed under President Joe Biden.

    DOJ official Brian M. Boynton told Abbott that "the Department of Justice intends to bring a lawsuit to enforce the supremacy of federal law and to enjoin the operation of SB 4," adding that "the United States will pursue all appropriate legal remedies to ensure that Texas does not interfere with the functions of the federal government."

    Boynton said that Texas had until next Wednesday to indicate that Texas would not enforce the law.

    The law, which will authorize local police to handle immigration enforcement by making it a state misdemeanor to cross the Texas-Mexico border illegally, was first sent to Abbott by Texas Republicans in November. The law, which Abbott approved earlier this month, will allow Texas to deport those who cross into the state back to Mexico, which would be a direct challenge to the catch-and-release policy currently practiced by the Biden administration.

    The DOJ told Abbott in the letter that only the federal government should be allowed to remove foreign nationals who have entered the U.S.

    "Indeed, the Supreme Court has confirmed that 'the removal process' must be 'entrusted to the discretion of the Federal Government' because a 'decision on removability' touches 'on foreign relations and must be made with one voice,'" the letter said.

    Abbott spokeswoman Renae Eze said that Texas was ready for legal action.

    "Texas is prepared to take this fight all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court to protect Texans and Americans from President Biden's open border policies. President Biden's deliberate and dangerous inaction at our southern border has left Texas to fend for itself," she said.

    The Texas law is also facing a challenge from liberal legal groups who claim that it is discriminatory. At the same time, illegal crossings surged to a new November record with no signs of slowing down into December.

    The Biden previously sued Texas over a move from Abbott to place water barriers in the Rio Grande to deter illegal immigration.

Understanding that there are two firm positions concerning the Open Border Crises, but many realties regarding its current, and, or projected real impacts to the functioning, sustainability of this Constitutional Republic: What position below best represents what you know to be true regarding this impactful policy?

  The United States' must continue the Executive initiative of Open Borders until a Democratic Congress can codify full Demographic Inclusion by keeping the Biden /Harris Open Borders policy in place.

  Our United States' borders are sovereign just as are our self-governed citizens, where borders must be maintained, monitored and defended, which is the position of core Republicans.

  I am in favor of Open Borders to make my America more of a global community; however, the federal government must now fix problems that "Red State" governors have caused in our cities.

  I do NOT favor the Democratic Socialists' disruption of the cultural fabric of my Representative Republic, and there will be Treasonous Hell to Pay when the certain calamity begins in earnest.

Should the Institutionalized Corruption of the Biden /Harris Administration, in this separate instance the Open Border Policy of our Sovereign Southern Border, be not only tolerated, but sanctioned by the raising of local spending by local politicians to pay for these now visible and known effects of rampant, and out-of-control Illegal Immigration?

  Yes, it is a kind thing to do, and a way that our county, our state can aid in this tremendous effort toward local federal foreign aid; and now, thankfully, in great abundance.

  No, our Constitutional Republic WILL NOT continue to exist, as our United States of America, if we do not control our sovereign borders, to protect our citizens, to keep them solvent and safe.

  I only consider what is topical and popular since my friends, too, only care to do the same.

The previous poll on Eastern NC NOW showcased what are many of OUR Constitutional Republic's certain obstacles to remain viable, where the top encumbrance to that continuance as a functioning Republic was the Biden /Harris Wide Open Southern Border. Understanding this overwhelming concern to real America citizens: Do you believe it important to challenge the veracity of those legislated concerns of Democratic Socialists by transporting Illegal Migrants to their Sanctuary cities, counties and states for their direct care?

  Yes; test the depth of their "compassion" by giving Democratic Socialists an opportunity to enact all Sanctuary provisions in their communities to test how much they truly do care.

  No; the Biden /Harris Wide Open Southern Border Project is designed to only inundate "Red States" to begin their Demographic Upheaval for the benefit of we Democratic Socialists, our politics.

  I generally do NOT care about politics, but it is fun watching abject hypocrites squirm; maybe I will start getting more involved.
