Something Went Right at SCOTUS

I’ve said that when news is noteworthy, I’ll chime in.  And here is something worth discussing.  The Supreme Court has allowed the Texas State Law that authorizes the National Guard to arrest illegal immigrants to be restored.  Texas can now enforce this law and begin arrests.  The law has not been declared constitutional by SCOTUS.  Instead, the law will continue review at the appellate level and then, if necessary, it can be returned to the Supreme Court if necessary.

Well, this is a very limited victory.  But a win is a win.  Governor Abbott should proceed to enforcing his law to the best of his ability.  Even the announcement that this law exists now might have a very strong effect in deterring migrants from entering in Texas, or even coming to Texas from another state.

What strikes me is that Americans are beginning to wake up to the disaster that wholesale migration is causing.  Even the blue state mayors and governors are beginning to admit that they’re being overwhelmed by the practical problems caused by millions of destitute and sometimes criminal individuals flooding their cities and towns.  Places like New York City and Massachusetts have tried to put a brave face on it but the dislocation of services and lack of adequate housing have drained their coffers and forced the curtailment of critical programs and services.  And as the economy continues to sour (despite the happy talk about how Bidenomics is a blooming miracle) the budget shortfalls and growing criminal activities of the migrants will bring these problems to center stage.  The recent murders and rapes committed by illegal aliens is reaching the headlines despite the attempts by the Biden administration and their allies in the media to hush them up.

If Joe Biden is re-elected in November that will allow him to try and sweep all of this under the rug.  But it remains to be seen if a local reaction like the Texas law for arresting illegal immigrants and other actions like it could withstand the federal attacks and allow the states to defend themselves from Washington’s malfeasance.  So, whether Trump or Biden prevails in November, we will start to see what is going to happen with respect to illegal immigration.  And it may come earlier.  If the appellate court rules the law unconstitutional and the Supreme Court either refuses to review it or agrees with the appellate court then Texas will be in the position to either defy the federal government or knuckle under.

And that’s the final step.  If the states give in, we’re finished.  There’s nothing else that will happen to prevent the swamping of this country with as many as a hundred million immigrants.  At that point the economic conditions in what’s left of this country will have deteriorated to the point where further immigrants won’t be as excited about entering the country.  Maybe they’ll head to Canada despite the cold climate.  But the damage will be done and we will become Brazil.

So, kudos to the Supreme Court and to Governor Abbott and the Texas state legislature for at least allowing this attempt at sanity to at least try and mitigate the rolling catastrophe that Joe Biden has wrought.  Maybe this is the beginning of red states saying they’re fed up and won’t allow their states and their citizens to be abused by the federal government and their demented leader.  We’ll see.

And there’s my post.

I tried to say: As you probably know by now, the Supreme kicked it back to the 5th Circuit on some basis and the 5th has stayed the Texas law again.

I’m not convinced that the Founders tried to design a de facto national rule by politically motivated appointed judges.

” If the states give in, we’re finished. ”

A nearby Texas county recently bought one of these to help keep us a float.

The $319,000 “Bearcat” built on a Ford 550 frame includes these features: the tires are supposedly bulletproof on the sides, there is a nice round opening in the roof where
liquid or solid materials can be released as needed, and the exterior has steel plating ranging from 1/4 to 3/4 inch thick. And you get your choice of parking spaces.
