  1. How is it that Ron Desantis can stop illegals in Florida from having jobs and houses, but Abbott cannot do the same. Mayorkas is running this mess.

  2. No immigration reform they are trying to force the United States to keep the border open and make all them citizens.

  3. We the citizens of the US are treated like no class citizens, but the illegal immigrants are being looked after and cared for. Since this keeps happening then bring Trump back in to stop this mess. That's it!

  4. When and what’s it going to take to fix Biden’s mess?? Shut down the government?

  5. So Texas is trying to enforce the law and protect our border, and Biden's govt is trying to stop that….INCREDIBLE!!

  6. This is one of the few issues where responsibility is not bipartisan… this is clearly the fault of the Democrats what's happening… and what is so dumbfounding is how people can live in the sanctuary cities being overrun by migrants like this, and still want to vote for Biden the next election.. it's incredible

  7. How Bizarre…. the federal government's going to sue the state government for doing the federal government's job…. that's equivalent to the police arresting someone who shoots a robber after the police tell them we're not coming……

  8. Two words come to mind , Biden and traitor!

  9. No more resources! Illegals coming here for a fully funded vacation needs to stop.

  10. Federal Government not doing their. Protecting the country. We stand with Texas. SEND then back

  11. Well maybe if the federal government actually deported illegal immigrants Texas wouldn't have to enforce border control themselves.

  12. Governor Abbott is intelligent. This could be filled before the Supreme Court. Their ruling can't be changed by a president &/or Congress. This is like the case with DHMH & the treatment of the mentally ill. The courts ordered the treatment, housing, & various policies. Mayor Adams, D.O.J. is walking into a trap !! 🦜

  13. JUST LIKE CALIFORNIA MAYOR NEWSON GIVING ALL THE ILLEGALS HEALTHCARE

  14. WHY IS BIDEN. NOW GETTING IN THE MIDDLE OF THIS WHEN HE CAUSE ALL THIS MESS😅

  15. That's a lot of people being sent here claiming asylum. How fast is the vetting process because it doesn't seem as if there is any vetting process of any kind simple due to the amount people being bused to various lefty states. Arent they suppose to see an asylum Judge and given a court date to appear prior to being let into the country because if that's not the case then this ENTIRE asylum fiasco is being intentionally misreported by the media. This is how it's being packaged and implied to normies. Arent we suppose to be fighting terror, covid, monkey pox, Russian meddling etc etc? The Biden administration is beyond obviously making the US government along with congress look like a bunch of blatant con-artist. The billions sent to Ukraine and Israel is proof positive of such.

  16. DOJ should be protecting it's own CURRENT American TAXPAYING CITIZENS from this illegal immigration DISASTER. !! THANK YOU to Texas, for PROTECTING AMERICA & AMERICANS! ILLEGAL PEOPLE taking PRIORITY over CURRENT CITIZENS is WRONG! DOJ SLAPS US IN the FACE, just like Biden! ILLEGAL ALIENS & their KIDS who came here WRONGFULLY, & have NO RIGHTS. If they wanted rights & respect, they would've come here the LEGAL way! STAND FIRMLY AGAINST ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION! Our own President Biden has BETRAYED & FAILED in EVERY WAY, to make America better. 34 TRILLION is our national debt… WOW! AND we are a dang disgusting poverty-ridden MESS!! He has in fact made our country into a DISGUSTING wasteland of endless lines of POVERTY, DESPERATION, DRUGS & DANGER! It is BEYOND SAD, that these are the people who are running America. Biden just DROP OUT NOW, Most citizens HATE what you've forced upon US! And the nerve of Biden, running again, when he knows he's TOO OLD & terribly mentally COMPROMISED! I am beyond disappointed in Biden, HARRIS & Mayorkas, and the dumb Democrats making a MOCKERY of America! America looks WEAKENED, STUPID & Out OF CONTROL, no thanks to Biden. DEPORT THE ILLEGAL ALIENS & their KIDS! NO MERCY for them, they are dumb, thinking MILLIONS of them are all getting a fabulous life! They will be a FINANCIAL BURDEN on American taxpayers FOREVER! WE know because we know how hard it is to succeed in America! WE'VE LIVED IT!! I work a job I HATE, for many years, so I have health insurance for me & 2 kids…. GO BACK WHERE YOU FLED from! AMERICA & AMERICAN GO FIRST, once BIDEN IS OUT of OFFICE & I CANNOT WAIT! Biden / HARRIS – YOU BOTH STINK! Your dereliction of duties has turned us ALL into REPUBLICANS! America is NOT the land paved with GOLD, although Biden spends OUR MONEY like it is! 34 TRILLION national debt, and AMERICA has never been in WORSE CONDITION!

  17. In other words if they suspect you of being illegal they can deport you

  18. So the White House is mad because Biden is stupid?

    BTW if Texas can't regulate migration then how can NYC and Chicago do it?

  19. Cannot stop these people but fighting Texas when they are trying to stop this mess agree with Texas way to go Texas keep up the work!!!

  20. They should know they have bachelor's degree and phds.

  21. No point in taking it to court it's against the law since I don't know when. They can make their own laws . Each state as they were appointed for, if appointed to rule law as enscripted why take it to federal court. I smell corruption

  22. The D.O.J. is doing nothing more than trying to "TIE TEXAS UP" with bullshit lawsuits (just like what they've been doing with Donald Trump) Once they get the paperwork done, they'll ask one of THEIR judges to issues a "cease and desist" order until the matter is resolved in court.

  23. "Immigration reform" solution just means "we need to have open borders and grant citizenship to everone who illegally crosses the border the moment they get set foot across"

  24. These Latinos are not just automatic democrat voters. Look at how biden is LOSING TO TRUMP among Hispanics. Most Latin countries have abortion bans in place, because they're highly religious catholics. How can the democrats think this won't backfire on them? And cause them to actually LOSE future elections.

  25. Congress needs to step in & stop this invasion. Federal Government apparently Wants the United States to be invaded.

  26. Ofcourse they filed it. They were "threatening to file it" but ofcourse they had to actually do it. Because they just won't let this issue go. Open borders is very important to "them"

  27. ILLEGALS ARE NOT AMERICAS PROBLEMS! THEY ARE ILLEGAL AND ABOLISH AMNESTY FOREVER AND DEPORT ALL OF THEM! IF THEY CANT COME HERE LEGALLY AND PAY THEIR WAY AND HAVE SPONSORS IN WHICH TO STAY, THEY CAN NOT COME!

  28. Oy vey, my uncle who works at the DOJ spearheaded this lawsuit. We tiny hats will NEVER EVER ALLOW the borders to be closed hahaha!!!

  29. Justice department can go suckle on the breast of Mr. Soros "open boahdaz"

  30. It’s time for all the conservatives American People to got down to the border and do the work that Biden administration don’t wanna do it.

  31. Same government wants to fund other countries to protect their border 😂😂😂

  32. Is mat a retard? We need to enforce immigration law not reform what they call a broken system, send mat with them

  33. Wow truly sad there going after him for trying to save this country i cant wait til his time come id piss on Bidens grave

  34. Imagine your own government sue you for enforcing the law????

  35. Then the bottom line is the federal government needs to do their fucking job, so Texas doesn’t have to do it for them. Seems pretty simple?

  36. Stop the people from co😢here

  37. So they rather put in the energy to fight Texas than actually do their jobs? Yes, dems for ya.

  38. When are people going to understand that it’s not a border problem when the illegals seeking asylum are getting flown into the states by government agencies themselves?

  39. Time to drain the swamp at the DOJ and clean house

  40. Biden and his administration are pure evil and don't care about American citizens!! They are destroying our country!!!

  41. Ask biden why are the borders open! He has America involved in two wars and he allows an army to cross our borders.

  42. This boils down to if we are a independent country or are we ruled by unelected organizations like UN and WHO,WEF. Those organizations believe in no boarder and working to stress and break the US and western countries. You don't see people moving to middle east or north Korea.
    There is vote coming up to give control over to organizations like this in Congress soon. People need to pay attention

  43. We the people of the united states of America demand Biden removed, send all those immigrants back, build the border wall, closed borders, we want our jobs back, no immigrants, remove all those Dictators in every Country and replace them with honest decent officials who will make people's lives better then you won't have this problem with immigrants, it's not the people it's the Dictators and evil politicians who destroy people's lives, the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, you politicians do nothing for the betterment of people's lives, all you do is lie, scam, deception, steal our money, and murder people, I hate all of you do nothing people.
