It could be a comedy if it wasn't so tragic
>Texas Senate Passes Bill Allowing Local, State Police To Arrest Illegal Immigrants
Like, cops need a bill to get passed in order to start doing their actual fucken job, I mean it's in the title, "illegal immigrants" are well, illegal and cops they're supposed to do something about illegal stuffs, like, their job...
Legal challenge on the grounds that only the federal government can pass and enforce such laws?
That's crazy, next thing you know only feds can do something about cross border drug/weapon/human trafficking because "legal challenges"
Local cop: "I see that you have 4 crates of hand grenades, 17 pounds of crack and 30 kids chained at the back of your truck..."
Mexican with tats all over his face "Yes but I'm coming from a different state..."
Local cop: "Oh I see... I can't do shit sorry, have a nice day"
Wtf
The U.S. Supreme Court has consistently upheld the federal government's jurisdiction over immigration law. SCOTUS has overruled attempts by state legislatures to single out immigrants. The Supremacy Clause of the U.S. Constitution generally means that federal laws trump state laws.
