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

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

60% : Texas could claim that federalism allows states to act in the absence of national policy, just as it does with most other issues such as crime.
57% : In a series of immigration laws, Congress ordered the executive branch to detain aliens entering the country illegally, provide hearings for those claiming political asylum, and to remove those here without a valid visa.
56% : Instead of inviting a breakdown of federal-state relations, no matter how deep the disagreement over border policy, Texas should instead invite the Supreme Court to overturn its precedent pre-empting any state role in immigration enforcement.
51% : But Texas must use the proper political and legal remedies, not its military, to change national policy.
49% : His actions run directly contrary to the exclusive federal control over the border, as made clear by the Supreme Court, and threaten a conflict between federal and state militaries unseen since the darkest days of desegregation in the South.
41% : States organize political opposition to Washington, D.C., sue in the courts, and seek to overturn Arizona v. United States.
