In reply to the discussion: Supreme Court allows Texas to enforce immigration law [View all]NanaCat
(1,551 posts)31. Abbott is stupid
Because there's a far easier and violence-free way to make him regret taking this path:
Putting the onus of all immigrant arrests Texas makes on Texas. They will need to house the detainees until their kangaroo hearings, conduct the kangaroo hearings, and then pay the costs of the deportation, too. State arrests? Then state money needs to pay for it all, and not one dime from the feds for it.
Texas doesn't have enough law enforcement officers to provide border patrol and address normal LEO duties, too--and even if they could provide the personnel, they don't and won't have the money to pay for it all.
Let him learn it the hard way.
