texas ag exposes border bill as nation-breaking amnesty for foreign criminals

tx ag: border bill gives DC courts sole power to decide legal challenges

This bill is an amnesty/expansion in disguise.  Everything we have told in recent weeks about it being a compromise was an outright lie.

tx ag: border bill gives DC courts sole power to decide legal challenges

ATTORNEY GENERAL KEN PAXTON @KenPaxtonTX

The Biden-Senate immigration bill is complete disaster. The open borders policies it enshrines would destroy our country.

In addition to encouraging nearly 2 million illegal aliens annually to enter the country, paying out over $1 billion to the toxic NGOs that settle illegal immigrants all over the nation, empowering Mayorkas to abuse the asylum process on his arbitrary whim, and ending catch-and-release, this bill that gives Biden and Mayorkas everything they want does something far more sinister. It requires that legal challenges to these provisions be heard by the highly partisan Washington, D.C. courts. They know exactly what they are doing: texas has been able to create major slowdowns to Biden's open borders doctrine because our constitutional system allows us to sue the federal government in fair venues. What Biden, Mayorkas, and the senate uniparty in the swamp want to do is PREVENT the texas ag and all other state ags from acting as a check on the federal government's tyrannical abuses of power. that is unthinkable. it is un-American. this bill is an unacceptable mess that no serious leader could even think about passing. #BorderBill    Feb 5, 2024
