Texas's challenges Biden's immigration scofflaw policies

 Fox News:

Texas may be poised for a legal showdown with the Biden administration over immigration policy as the state's top attorney said he would urge GOP Gov. Greg Abbott to send migrants to Washington D.C. – flouting federal laws.

Republican Attorney General Ken Paxton acknowledged a 2012 Supreme Court case, Arizona v. the United States, prevents states from making their own immigration policies and is a "problem" for Texas' efforts. Still, he wants Texas to move ahead with busing migrants to Biden's doorstep and suggested the Supreme Court, now with a solid 6-3 conservative majority, could give the issue a fresh look.

"I think that was wrongly decided," Paxton told "Fox and Friends" of the Arizona case. "So I'd encourage the governor to force people to be sent out of our state and make the federal government sue us [and] take that back to the U.S Supreme Court."

In an interview with Fox News Digital Saturday, Paxton said he wasn't daring the Biden administration to sue Texas, rather, "I'm daring them to follow federal law. But if they're not going to, why should the governor not be able to protect his state?"

Undeterred, Texas is already dispatching buses to the southern border towns to retrieve border crossers and send them to the U.S. Capitol. The Texas Division of Emergency Management (TDEM) said Friday it has dispatched an unspecified number of buses to small Texas communities that have been overwhelmed by an influx of migrants placed there by the federal government, according to officials.

Paxton said he believes preparations are being made but actual transport to Washington, D.C., won't take place until next month to coincide with Title 42's rescission, but he deferred timing questions to the governor.

Abbott's office referred busing logistics to TDEM, which said that Paxton's remarks are "incorrect" and that the "operation is currently underway."

Seth Christensen, chief of media and communications for TDEM, referred Fox News Digital to the agency's Friday statement which also noted communities that originally requested support "have now said that the federal government has stopped dropping migrants in their towns since the Governor’s announcement on Wednesday."

Texas Department of Public Safety Lt. Christopher Olivarez told Fox News the busing to Washington, D.C., will be done at the request of local communities that need relief.

"The governor's plan is to have those mayors or those county judges – when they feel a sense of being overwhelmed or strained resources – they contact the Texas Division of Emergency Management (TDEM), who is handling that situation, and they will provide that transportation from Texas to Washington D.C."

"One straight shot from Texas all the way to Washington, D.C.," Olivarez told Fox News' Neil Cavuto Saturday. "So it's going to be very effective."

Biden's failure to faithfully enforce the US immigration laws is worthy of impeachment and this effort by Texas should get the Supreme Court into the case too.  It is also an issue that will impact the 2022 election.  Biden's policies on immigration are opposed by a significant majority of Americans.
