The U.S. Department of Justice says it will sue Texas if the state enforces a new law enacted this month allowing state officials to arrest and deport people who come into the U.S. illegally.
In a letter to Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, the justice department said Texas' new law, SB4, oversteps into federal immigration jurisdiction and is unconstitutional.
"SB4 effectively creates a separate state immigration scheme by imposing criminal penalties for violations of federal provisions on unlawful entry... and by authorizing state judges to order the removal of noncitizens from the United States. SB4 therefore intrudes into a field that is occupied by the federal government and is preempted," wrote Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General Brian M. Boynton in a letter to Abbott obtained by USA TODAY.
If Texas begins enforcing the law, the federal government will sue to block the law in court, Boynton said.
SB4, which Democratic state leaders in Texas warned could lead to racial profiling, is set to take effect in March.

Texas has until Jan. 3 to let federal officials know if the state will go forward with planned enforcement of the law, Boynton's letter says.

>>1251350 Why do people that pretend to love the Constitution not seem to understand it?
If republicunts really thought the constitution was sacred, they'd be yelling at Abbott for wasting taxpayer money on a retarded and clearly unconsitutional law
then again, Texans are all masochists and love wasting their tax money on useless shit and corruption.

>>1251410 birth rates are dwindling because everything costs so much and wages are down because the country is being flooded with illegals who suppress the price of labor and who take up housing

>>1251421 >birth rates are dwindling because everything costs so much False. Industrialization causes birth rates to dwindle. As a country reaches a certain point of industrialization and access to things like education and birth control increase people have less kids. Its happened in literally every first world country regardless of cost of living. There is no statistical link between cost of living and birth rates. Birth rates do not go up when cost of living goes down and birth rates do not go down when cost of living goes up. This claim doesn't even make any sense when you look at the data and see that poor people have the most kids and rich people have the fewest.
>wages are down because the country is being flooded with illegals who suppress the price of labor and who take up housing False again. The data shows that the only group of people whose wages see any suppression as a result of immigrant labor, illegal or not, are people without high school diplomas, Even then its only a 5-6% reduction. Most studies show that immigrant labor actually increases the wages for most earners across the board. More people living in an area means more consumption of goods and services, putting more money into businesses and allowing for more expansion. Studies also show that native citizens are also exponentially more likely to receive job advancements during business growth. None of your opinions are supported by data of any kind. Its actually kind of amazing you managed to be the exact opposite of correct on nearly everything you've said.

>>1251430 >False. you literally only have half a century worth of "data". increased cost of living vs wages and jewish propaganda known as feminism have caused declining birth rates so the rich can replace the whites with illegals
>False again. The data shows whose data? data made by the rich jews who are trying to force illegals into the US because it benefits them and only them?
>Most studies show who made the studies? odds are they are mega rich or dems
>None of your opinions are supported by data you are literally using studies made by rich oligarch jews and communists for the purpose of propaganda. we saw after covid fewer workers meant raises in pay across the board. eliminating illegals would result in higher wages for all Americans and a decrease in income inequality

>enemy combatants/an invading army There's no rational universe in which the term "enemy combatants" applies to illegal immigrants. You should seek treatment for your schizophrenia and for your unhinged violent ideations.

Historical precedent makes a distinction between territory controlled by invading armies and territory controlled by US forces during times of invasion.
>if they are in the river, they aren't in the US If they are in Mexican territory, as we aren't in a state of war with Mexico, which would be up to Congress to decide, US forces should only take lethal action when fired upon and only against those firing upon them.
