History repeats itself Re: SB4

[vercetti2021]

Remember when Cali passed Proposition 187? The GOP never recovered in the state due to that. What was it? Known as the “Save Our State” initiative, Proposition 187 would have denied all public services to illegal immigrants and forced all state employees to immediately report illegal immigrants to the Immigration and Naturalization Service for deportation.

In Arizona in 2010. SB 1070? Show me your papers? Now you see Arizona trending left quickly.

Texas literally could have just followed the same pattern. Texas while being slow as hell is trending more purple due to changes, this could be what does it in faster.

Nothing good comes from anti immigration bills like this. It solves nothing.

2. Appeals court blocks Texas immigration law shortly after Supreme Court action

The decision comes just hours after the Supreme Court said the measure, known as SB4, could go into effect while litigation continues.

A federal appeals court on Tuesday night ordered that a contentious new Texas immigration law be paused just hours after the Supreme Court said it could go into effect.

A three-judge panel of the New Orleans-based 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals split 2-1 in saying in a brief order that the measure, known as SB4, should be blocked. The same court is hearing arguments Wednesday morning on the issue.....

The appeals court appeared to be taking the hint from the Supreme Court, which in rejecting an emergency application filed by the Biden administration put the onus on the appeals court to act quickly.

"If a decision does not issue soon, the applicants may return to this court,” conservative Justice Amy Coney Barrett wrote in a separate opinion joined by fellow conservative Justice Brett Kavanaugh.

3. Agreed.

Not only that but many city municipalities do not have the manpower or time to deal with such ridiculous bullshit,

Show me your papers? UGH! Fuck off!

4. California benefitted from the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986

Lots of immigrants in California became registered voters!
Immigrants in Texas have no such remedies.
