Texas allowed to arrest illegals
https://www.texastribune.org/2024/03...er%20illegally.
The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals late Saturday reversed a lower court’s ruling that halted a new state law allowing Texas police to arrest people suspected of crossing the Texas-Mexico border illegally. |

Every single PD needs to be jailing every single illegal alien driver caught. That would take dangerous drivers off the roadways, the kind that are drunk, unqualified, and don't carry insurance. I doubt most departments will have the intestinal fortitude to do that, though.
~arrest every illegal encountered ~hold with no bail due to flight risk/no ties to the community/danger to the community ~if their only crimes are illegal entry, no DL, and whatever the traffic crime was, speeding, light out, etc., then offer them the choice to get out of jail on their terms. Agree to self deport, agree that if caught here again, they do a mandatory stint in jail. Or sit in jail until a judge can hear their case. Then put their cases at the bottom of the pile. Had Texas been able to do this two years ago, Laken Riley and many others would be alive today. |

I think that the invaders/border jumpers should be executed. Hang their rotting corpses on the fence/wall as a stark reminder.

It's a slippery slope...start creating more and more reasons to grab guns, and sooner or later YOU will find yourself on one of those lists. Always error on the side of individual freedom v. the State. |

So these street takeover idiots, if caught, will have criminal charges, bail, have to pay for a lawyer, have to pay to get the cars out of the tow lot. The punishment should be whatever the sentence/fine is for that crime. Stealing the cars outright? Yeah, that's gonna be a no from me, dawg. Unless you can show me the car was purchased with money from a bank robbery, i.e. stolen funds, then no, I don't agree with taking away someone's car. 8th Amendment problems. |

Payback sounds great, but again, slippery slope. The RICO law is being used as a cudgel, a blunt instrument, and as it's being currently used, it's an affront to the constitutional protections enshrined in the Constitution. Expropriating private property is banana republic shit, and shouldn't be tolerated or even considered here in the US, no matter how bad you hate someone and want to see them suffer. YMMV |

I once was fishing, and was doing it the old fashioned way, cast netting for bait to have in the bait bucket. The area was a "shrimp sanctuary," meaning, you're not allowed to take any shrimp from that area. I got stopped by the game warden one evening, a quick look in the bait bucket revealed some shad....and one lonely shrimp. Warden suggested I let the shrimp go and he would move on, which I did, and he did. Maybe he should have seized my fishing equipment, for my grave crime? Seized my car, even though I walked from my apartment to the water? Should he seize my car and my truck, since I owned more than one car? How about seizing my company car as well? That's patently unfair, which is why we prohibit cruel and unusual punishment. |

If I'm aiming for a duck and kill a Bald Eagle, I deserve a fine. If I am aiming for a bald eagle, that's very different. Punishment is not JUST a penalty. It is also a deterrent. Understanding that you could lose your arm if you steal, means that when you steal AND you lose your arm, you should not be the least bit shocked. We're far too soft on crime. Extreme penalties for SERIOUS crimes should be enforced. A burned out bulb is not a serious crime. Invading a nation is. |
