To get around President Joe Biden’s Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) lax enforcement of federal immigration law, Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) has issued a plan that would authorize states to deport illegal aliens and help build barriers along the United States-Mexico border.
On Wednesday, Hawley announced the “State Border Defense Act” which would, among other things, allow individual states to deport illegal aliens that local law enforcement encounters.
“Our southern border is overrun. Joe Biden’s dangerous open-border policies are making it worse every single day, leaving states like Missouri to deal with the consequences,” Hawley said in a statement.
In addition, the legislation would authorize states to fund the construction of physical barriers along the southern border. States would also be allowed to prosecute illegal aliens for crimes they commit by crossing the border. more here

Bidenministration would treat this the same way it is currently treating Texas’ efforts to prevent border crossings – by acting against it. That’s if it were passed, of course – and this has zero chance of passing.
Simply enforcing existing law is easily sufficient; the problem is that this administration treasonously fails to enforce it.
I hope the “State Border Defense Act” means Florida can put up a wall and checkpoints along the Georgia and Alabama lines.
