It's Texas vs. SCOTUS right now. But Abbott should consider a surprise move that could pay off handsomely

Texas' governor is in a major dispute with the Supreme Court over immigration enforcement. He's been getting lots of advice and support but here's a move he should strongly consider.

Instead of relying on the judicial process to reverse Supreme Court precedent ousting the states from any role in border control and immigration, Gov. Abbott threatens to trigger a confrontation between the federal and state governments of a kind unseen since the South’s shameful resistance to Brown v. Board of Education.   John Yoo, co-author of The Politically Incorrect Guide to the Supreme Court, is a law professor at the University of California, Berkeley, a nonresident senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, and a visiting fellow at the Hoover Institution.

Texas officials certainly have the best of intentions.  The Biden administration has allowed the southern border to fall into chaos, with an estimated three million-plus illegal aliens crossing into the United States last year.  This record-breaking surge has imposed heavy costs on communities in Texas, Arizona, and California, created a route for the trafficking of people and drugs, and has led to thousands of deaths of migrants at the crossings.
