Yeah, I am aware of this fact.Big deal concentrate on the racist trying to get back in the White House instead of a guy 60+ years ago. By the way there are still millions of racists alive and well today.
Allrighty, we are getting off course here, yes?No, they are not. You are WRONG.
Immigration is a FEDERAL issue, it has always been a federal issue, and it will always be a federal issue.
Nonsensical right-wing bullshit notwithstanding. Texas DOES NOT have the authority to interfere in immigration issues.
Jurisdiction and the Supremacy Clause
The U.S. Supreme Court has consistently upheld the federal government's jurisdiction over immigration law. SCOTUS has overruled attempts by state legislatures to single out immigrants. The Supremacy Clause of the U.S. Constitution generally means that federal laws trump state laws.
But there are exceptions to this. While states must remain within specific parameters, they have relative degrees of latitude in their laws. States have certain freedoms in determining the laws of their own jurisdictions. For example, California provides more generous benefits to immigrants. It is a "sanctuary state." But, Texas has been notoriously unfavorable to immigrants and migrants. From time to time, the state has successfully restricted those benefits in damaging ways.
States rights is a bullshit right-wing pile of crap used by the right to try to justify their abuse of their citizens in direct violation of federal law. Period. End of story.
The Federalist Society is not a valid source. They are a bunch on tinfoil hate conspiracy theory-spreading asshats. Nothing more.

That is for bottled water. Arguing anyone has a right to bottled water is going to be a loser for you. HOWEVER, they do have a right to clean potable water.'People get sick' | Price of water goes up in Texas prisons
The price of bottled water in Texas prisons has gone up by 50%.www.wfaa.com
I wasn't either.
I guess that made him hell on wheels.
Agreed.Allrighty, we are getting off course here, yes?
I agree with this statement.That is for bottled water. Arguing anyone has a right to bottled water is going to be a loser for you. HOWEVER, they do have a right to clean potable water.
My god Texas is such a backward hole, I actually lived there once years ago.
LONGEST SIX MONTHS OF MY LIFE!!!!
First, read the constitution about cruel and unusual punishments. Second, are any being held prior to trial?Maybe if they would not be criminals, they would be at work in an air-conditioned building. Sympathy: None

I suggest you do not cross a state line into Texas and spout your anti-Texas rhetoric.No, they are not. You are WRONG.

Making threats now?I suggest you do not cross a state line into Texas and spout your anti-Texas rhetoric.
You might regret their reaction.
Remember: DON'T MESS WITH TEXAS!
This is a bullshit duck technique.Maybe if they would not be criminals, they would be at work in an air-conditioned building. Sympathy: None
That is your opinion. We all have them. I favor mine.This is a bullshit duck technique.
It doesn't matter if they are criminals, they are human beings and American citizens protected by the constitution and what Texas is doing is in violation of both the constitution and human rights.
The government of Texas needs to be held accountable.
Making excuses for their cruelty is a bad look and is VERY shameful.
WHAT?!First, read the constitution about cruel and unusual punishments. Second, are any being held prior to trial?
He was paralyzed from the waist down after being shot five times by an assassin. Your comments reveals much about you.I wasn't either.
I guess that made him hell on wheels.
Your comments reveals much about you.
What world do you live in? I was held in crowded conditions for five days in jail before trial. Charges dropped. So are thousands of others.Air conditioning didn’t exist when the constitution was written and so there can be no argument that AC is a right.
no one in prison is innocent, you only get into prison by being found guilty
Again, are any of the inmates being held prior to trial, meaning they are still innocent in the eyes of the law?WHAT?!
I am not in TX and I don't threaten anyone. Are you paranoid?Making threats now?
Absolutely shameful.

Here is a popular bumper sticker often displayed in TX.
DON'T MESS WITH TEXAS!
You obviously don't know much about that state.
Learn to take a joke.He was paralyzed from the waist down after being shot five times by an assassin. Your comments reveals much about you.
Now you're ducking again.That is your opinion. We all have them. I favor mine.
As...an actual Texan...courts have routinely held that international border issues are the purview of the Federal government.I suggest you do not cross a state line into Texas and spout your anti-Texas rhetoric.
You might regret their reaction.
Remember: DON'T MESS WITH TEXAS!
I loved the bumper sticker I saw once. Welcome to Texas - Gateway to New Mexico!I am aware of the bumper sticker.
I agree. The government of Texas needs to be ordered to spend money on infrastructure, schools (no religion allowed), roads, electrical grid improvements, and a number of other things (air conditioning in prisons).As...an actual Texan...courts have routinely held that international border issues are the purview of the Federal government.
The expenditure of billions of dollars for fences and water obstacles has been a highly contentious subject, especially given the state of our road, public educational, and electricity infrastructure.

Not certain they have the constitutional authority.I agree. The government of Texas needs to be ordered to spend money on infrastructure, schools (no religion allowed), roads, electrical grid improvements, and a number of other things (air conditioning in prisons).
To get Texas to do this, the federal government needs to see Texas' surplus funds and give them back as needed to cover the cost of the above items.
The rest will then be forfeit as punishment for the unconstitutional behavior of the government in that state.
The problem with New Mexico is that you have to drive through the Permian basin to get there. When setting up Hell, the Devil went to Permian to take notes, but had to tone it down as it was too terrible.Awesome sticker.
A fair point. Maybe not, but I hope they do.Not certain they have the constitutional authority.
Yeah, I see your point.The problem with New Mexico is that you have to drive through the Permian basin to get there. When setting up Hell, the Devil went to Permian to take notes, but had to tone it down as it was too terrible.
