You know this is going to back fire on Texas, states might require permits or taxes to travel to and from a state.
They can't. several supreme court cases already give aeright to travel. Immigration belongs to the federal government
Somebody should explain that to all the Texas towns trying to ban traveling out of state for an abortion.
I don’t think those are gonna work either.
Which ones
Just put toll booths in at the border to Illinois from all directions. It's almost impossible to travel across the u.s. without going through Illinois or going way out of your way to avoid it.
I've been all over the US and pretty sure I've never been in or through Illinois with exception to flights. I think you're greatly overestimating the size of Illinois and underestimating available options of US driving travel.
If you want to go around you'll have to drive through Kentucky or through the Michigan UP Mackinaw bridge or through Canada. There's a lot of freight that goes through Illinois as well as coming in/going out from ORD.
Tons of freight moves along i40 as well. It never approaches Illinois. You might be familiar with the traversal lanes up there, but there are several main thoroughfares south of there. 40, 20 and 10 all have tons of e/w traffic. All are south of Illinois. It's not that hard to avoid one medium sized state.
That would be pretty unconstitutional.
Pick a lane
Banning travel to other states for an abortion is also very clearly unconstitutional. There are still pretty big differences between restricting travel from specific states for something that is completely legal (driving a bus) and restricting your citizens from going outside your state to do something that is illegal in your state (abortion). One is a matter of jurisdiction while the other is a matter of travel restriction.
I'm not sure whether that would be a feasible solution. The undocumented part of "undocumented immgrant" is a result of immigrants bypassing a similar system when entering the country.
"Hey let's find a solution to our broken immigration system"
Texas: "nope send dem to dem LiBeRaLs"
"Wow Texas youre so smart, you're totally not trafficking people like the cartels"
They should just secede and become a desert version of North korea.
Edit:corrected
Do you mean secede?
secede. Dumbass.
Wish a texas would
What?
You know this is going to back fire on Texas, states might require permits or taxes to travel to and from a state.
I'm just waiting for the /s
Ha-ha.
As I understand it, this is a suggestion that it would be okay for states to take blatantly unconstitutional action in retribution for the likely criminal acts of the Texas state government. I’m hoping that I’m wrong, because that’s nuts.
In this economy? Surely no one would do that, lest they face the consequences.
Consequences.
Consequences... why does that word seem so strange now?
We are most certainly like-minded in that regard.
If unconstitutional action is something that Democrats and Republicans see as necessary, authoritarianism has won, and everyone/everything else has lost.
Meh, it's a comment from an anonymous rando on the Internet. I'm a lot more concerned with the fact that the state of Texas is in the human trafficking business than OP's comment.
