I don't understand all the bureaucracy around this, but everybody knows that entering a country illegally is itself a crime, so it shouldn't even be an issue whether illegal immigrants are criminals. They are, de facto. I don't understand the lackadaisical attitude on the part of authorities in general when it comes to the existential crisis of immigration (all immigration) into the U.S. It's seems like they just don't f*cking care about this country and it's frustrating as hell for normal Americans who want someone to fight for America. What's the point of these people if they're only there to issue speeding tickets?

There’s even more, honestly this isn’t even the worst of it. There’s the bit where they discuss that they don’t answer to the U.S. Constitution, they only answer to the Texas Constitution.

Additionally, it’s a Class B state crime to enter the state illegally, so he’s literally cherry picking which state laws to enforce, too.

Sheriff Smith is playing with fire doing this public announcement. Texas does have a serious cartel problem. There are around 250k people in Smith County. He is protecting one group at the potential expense of the majority group.

if it is a plan to round illegals into smith county it may work.

What's more disturbing about this situation is the sheriff is the authority of the county & this one is basically nullifying state & national law.

Are the people who voted for him to serve OK with his defiance to the oath he took? This is tragic for the citizens of Smith County.
