Here is the agenda:



States need to take jurisdiction of immigration laws away from the feds. This is a good start.
Wish us luck.

Yes I'm good with this also, keep in mind the Federal Government will stop sending funds, it will get nasty before it gets better, but it has to get better somehow.
Just a link to them cutting AZ funds:


Quotes:
New York City has become the center of the immigration debate in recent months. That takes the attention — and, it turns out, much of the funding to deal with it — away from border states like Arizona.

Millions of federal dollars that would have gone to Arizona for efforts to help asylum seekers are now going to New York, which is experiencing a flood of migrants of its own that began with a political stunt by the governors of states like Texas and Florida and has ballooned since.

But, without sufficient federal funding to aid asylum seekers, local officials are running out of money. That could have dire consequences.

Curt Prendergast, with the Substack newsletter the Tucson Agenda, spoke more about this issue with The Show.

I hope this passes. However, within a few days, their jails would probably be completely full.

Arizona had that exact same state law, as a result of the violent death of a beloved rancher who helped illegals get food, water and medical treatment when he found them lost on his property. The federal government under Obama sued and the US Supreme Court declared the state law unconstitutional. Maybe under the current court it passes.

I will volunteer my time to fly a B737 plane-load full of these *ahem* people from whence they came, and beyond.

I’m also down with the next agenda item WRT Covid “vaccines”.

Don'tcha just love how they call them "asylum seekers" now, instead of what they really are? Make them out to be victims instead of lawbreakers. Mad

Definitely wish you luck.

Having states with different rules about who can come in from outside the country, and yet free movement amongst states would be chaos. In a normally functioning country, you would expect the national government to have jurisdiction of who can enter its borders, and the responsibility for setting and enforcing the laws.

What happens when only half of that is happening is an interesting Constitutional question.

Abbott is not talking about setting up "different rules". It is all about encoding into state law and enforcing existing federal immigration laws that Biden is blatantly breaking.

If state and local cops cannot enforce immigration laws that mirror federal law, they need to cease all cooperation with feds wrt enforcing federal gun and drug laws. I mean don't back the feds up with a single cop and don't assist them in any way when things go sideways.

IMHO, the Constitutional issue here is that "the President shall take care that the laws are faithfully executed" and he's clearly not doing that. He needs to be removed for this (and subsequently prosecuted). It's clear as day and is having disastrous results.

Once the jails get full, the default setting will be to return them to the other side of the border

They could build and install wall sections while serving their time.

Imagine we'll see some Joe Arpaio outdoor jails being setup in south TX for these folks vs being put into standard jails. Overcrowding would be massive,

Just keep shipping them to Chicago, NY, Boston, et al...

Nah...send the phukkers back.

What REALLY needs to happen is the elimination of entitlements, free healthcare, and welfare for these deadbeat sunsabitches. You wanna come here?? FINE! Do it LEGALLY and EARN. YOUR. KEEP.

No outdoor jails, get them to sanctuary cities/states, they are welcome with open arms. This is the fastest way to end this problem, they are not far from imploding. This seems to be working, keep it up, don't stop sending now. Going to be a legal battle with the Texas State law enforcement verses the US Government that will drag on. Send all theses "migrants" to their happy place, sanctuary.

These "happy places" are losing voters, let them deal with the replacements they have open arms for. The replacements are not working or paying taxes so we will see how it all works out.

WASHINGTON —
In the ongoing political battle between the Biden administration and the Republican governor of Texas over border enforcement, a few sanctuary cities are caught in the middle: They welcome recently arrived asylum-seekers but often lack the money to assist their resettlement.

Since last summer, Gov. Greg Abbott has been busing migrants to cities known as sanctuaries for asylum-seekers, including Chicago, New York, Denver and Los Angeles.

Officials from these cities are asking for federal money to take care of thousands of migrants.

In New York, Mayor Eric Adams says the city’s shelter system has been overwhelmed by the nearly 100,000 migrants and asylum-seekers who have arrived since spring 2022. He is asking for federal funding and urging the federal government to expedite the processing of work permit applications so migrants can legally work in the United States.

“Send Them Back” – NYC Erupts in Anger Over Immigration As Protestors Claim the City Is at ‘Breaking Point’



In the heart of New York City, xenophobic protests have erupted, casting a shadow over the city’s longstanding tradition of welcoming immigrants.

+1 for sending them to sanctuary cities.

As for having state and locals enforce immigration…. I’m split on that.

A) It really is a Federal issue.

B) Separating the police who enforce laws against violence from immigration does make sense.

We cannot have 10-20% of the population unable to report a crime without greatly increasing the predation on that populace - the Irish and Italian mafia developed because of that.

actually I think the right answer is to build a large outdoor detention facility near the border

they've likely been living outside for an extended period of time before they invaded the country, so they can continue to live outside

diesel is expensive, and should be reserved for moving important stuff around the country - like food for us citizens

I guess the goal is to make life a living hell for those that invade us, perhaps to serve as a warning to others that treatment here isn't going to be a bed of roses - but deterrence aside, we should round them up and pen them like livestock until we can send them back
