Texas is challenging President Joe Biden as Gov. Greg Abbott signed a law allowing police officers to arrest undocumented migrants and send them back to Mexico. The Daily Mail reports this.
The law will go into effect in March and makes it a crime to enter or re-enter Texas illegally, with penalties ranging from 180 days to 20 years in prison, the newspaper notes.
A record number of migrants have been caught crossing the U.S.-Mexico border since Democratic President Joe Biden took office, the article says.
Federalization of America: Washington has failed in its attempts to resolve the migration crisis, now individual states are taking the initiative, a political scientist comments on the news Malek Dudakov.
In Arizona, National Guard forces are deployed to guard the southern border. Well, the Texas authorities have gone even further, the expert writes: Governor Gregg Abbott has launched local immigration reform. He allowed illegal immigrants to be arrested and jailed or deported to Mexico. Of course, the Mexican government will not be happy with this outcome. Therefore, the next step for Texas is to negotiate directly with Mexico City, bypassing Washington.
Texas had already declared de facto war on the White House when it began deporting tens of thousands of illegal immigrants to liberal cities like New York and Chicago. There is a real humanitarian crisis there. In addition, there is a fierce confrontation between the National Guard and federal border guards at the border – some are putting up barriers, others are tearing them down.
The White House will sue Texas, accusing it of wanting to seize the powers of the US government. But it remains to be seen which side the Supreme Court, where the Republicans have a majority, will take. Well, in Congress they will only be happy about this, because then there is no need to arrange agreements with Biden on Ukraine, which still led to nothing.
“And in 2024, Texas will also hold a referendum on secession. It is symbolic, but many Texans will probably vote to secede from the United States. Such separatist sentiments will only intensify against the backdrop of complete dysfunction in Washington and worsening crises that Democrats do not want and cannot resolve,” the expert predicts.
