Podcast: Restoring the Constitution-Biden and Trump Travel to Texas Border
This week, Federico Lines of States Rights Radio and I discussed Joe Biden and Donald Trump traveling to Texas to see the border last week to ignite their respective tribes.
The podcast (link here) can be found:
As I’ve stated many times before, the border battle is all a show. And Biden and Trump are the lead actors. And we’ve got the “left” attacking Trump for showing up to the border. We’ve got the “right” attacking Biden for showing up to the border. Yet another example of tribalism providing a distraction to avoid discussing the real issues.
Lines and I discussed an order from a federal judge, a Reagan appointee, that blocked Texas from enforcing an act signed by Gov. Greg Abbott in December.
“Texas cannot enforce a new set of immigration laws the state Legislature passed last year after a federal judge's ruling Thursday.
Judge David Ezra of the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas decided to enjoin Senate Bill 4 from going into effect next week. He agreed with constitutional concerns raised by federal prosecutors at a hearing earlier this month that immigration enforcement is well beyond the purview of state governments….
The legislation allows state law enforcement officers to arrest, detain and deport individuals suspected of crossing the border illegally. It also mirrors the federal law that makes illegal entry at the U.S. border a misdemeanor and illegal re-entry a felony.”
It’s a case where I don’t generally like the law nor do I agree with the opinion from the federal judge. The judge relies on the idea of federal supremacy over matters of immigration and border patrol which simply is not true.
But I also think this law, if enforced, would be abused and used against American citizens. Tim Brown wrote:
“This entire thing will end up targeting the People of the United States more than it will anyone suspected of being here illegally. Soon, and it’s pretty close to that now, it will merely be ‘Show me your papers.’ However, a new law in Texas that would allow for the arrest of someone suspected of entering the country illegally was temporarily blocked by a federal judge.”
As the American people get distracted by the tribalism and border theater, the bipartisan political class is working together to destroy our liberties. And that’s the real scam that is the border theater.
Both parties support the Orwellian tracking and control systems at the border and inland. Both parties say “show me your papers” to travel. Both parties say “show me your papers” to work. And they will get Americans to support these liberty-destroying measures because they use the theater to push fear.
I’ve written extensively on the border theater in recent weeks and other measures related. I’ll post those below.
As all of this goes on, the real issues are ignored. The issue isn’t really at the board nor is it the migrants entering in. I’m not saying there aren’t problems related to them, but the real problem is the magnets. It’s the “free” stuff being handed out to migrants. I am absolutely opposed to all government “welfare” whether it’s to American citizens born and raised or migrants who are here legally or illegally. The problem is also the 16th Amendment and the Federal Reserve which allow the politicians to give all these handouts.
Do not allow the fearmongers lead you to support liberty-destroying legislation. Think for yourself. Think and act locally.
