New York May Sue Texas

Timothy Birdnow

Soooo......the Mayor of New York City is threatening to sue over illegals being sent there by Texas.

Does he really want to go there?

"Our legal team is looking at legal challenges we could do with Texas," Adams told WCBS-TV. "We believe there are some options we have, because when you involuntarily place someone on a bus, we believe that actually skates the law… We're not leaving any stones unturned to make sure that New Yorkers are [not] being treated in an unfair way."

Approximately 11,000 migrants have entered New York City's homeless shelters since May, including 2,500 migrants bused by Texas Governor Greg Abbott (R). Adams said the city's shelters are at their "breaking point."

Now Texas has only bused in 2500 of those 11,000. That means that 8500 came from - elsewhere.

So who is responsible for those/

Joe Biden, of course.. And he did it first.

So Mayor Fester, er, Eric Adams will have to tread very lightly. He cannot challenge this in a way that would overrule the Feds policy of scattering the illegals while at the same time must find a way to only target Texes. Of course, if the ruling is too narrow then Florida could just take the illegals and ship them to New York. So basically they need a blanket statement saying no state may do this.

But this is an unfunded mandate by the Feds. If the states can't do it it will be much harder to argue the Feds can.

I know; they'll find some pet judge who will so rule but it will be overturned on appeal in all likelihood.

What they should do is challenge this on the basis of politics; say it is being done to injure Blue states. Of course the Feds are doing this to injure Red states, but of course we aren't supposed to talk about that.

This could wind up a Supreme Court case which would touch on Sanctuary cities/states and Federal unwillingness to enforce border law. It could overturn the SCOTUS ruling against Arizona back in 2012 and allow the states to take action since the Federal government refuses to enforce it's own laws. With this new Court a lot of things are now possible that were impossible just a short time ago.

I don't think that will happen but opening this could well opena can of worms the Democrats may dread.

We can only hope, anyway.
