It’s no secret that America’s southern border is in complete chaos.
It is no secret that the federal government led by Joe Biden has shown little interest in law enforcement.
So Texas had an illegal immigration law that would allow state law enforcement to catch aliens and help secure the border.
The Supreme Court on Monday extended a temporary block to that law.

Supreme Court: Texas law blocked ‘indefinitely’
Just as the deadline for the Supreme Court to weigh in on Texas’ controversial SB4 immigration bill expired, Justice Samuel Alito issued an order temporarily suspending the bill’s enforcement, this time to indefinite period”.
This, according to Yahoo News.
They report: “The law, which would allow Texas law enforcement to arrest people suspected of entering the United States illegally, will remain in limbo until the Supreme Court issues a formal ruling. They have not indicated when this might happen.”
The story continued:
SB4 would have made it a crime for individuals to cross the U.S.-Mexico border and would have given law enforcement the authority to charge them with a class B misdemeanor that carries a maximum sentence of six months in prison. Second offenders face second-degree felony charges and up to 20 years in prison…
Last week, Justice Alito extended the stay another week. Now he has extended it indefinitely.
In the fight to keep SB4 going, Texas argued that the state is entitled to defend itself under Article I, Section 10 of the Constitution, which allows states to engage in war on their own if they are “actually invaded.”
The Justice Department said the bill conflicts with federal law, generally legislation responsible for enforcing immigration rules.
Is border chaos also “indefinitely”?
So what does this move by the Supreme Court mean for the people of Texas?
What does it mean for American citizens to have to deal with so many illegal aliens arriving from Texas and other border states?
It is the federal government’s job to protect the borders of the United States. When the president refuses, what exactly do you expect a state like Texas to do?
As the old saying goes: if you want something done well, do it yourself.
The federal government won’t even enforce immigration laws. We’ll see if the Supreme Court ever lets Texas do it alone.
