I wouldn’t be surprised to see the same idea applied in other countries.Thankfully, I don't want to move to the USA
I feel for the plight of these people, but they are trespassing.
How do you propose that illegals be supported if they can't work?They really should go after the employers of these undocumented workers.
The same could be said of my ancestors when they crossed into what is now the US without permission of the existing population. They are breaking the law by trespassing, but most are coming here to make a better life. Still, we have a duty to support the law no matter how much or little we care for it.They knew what they were getting into at least to some degree.
Camp dogs gotta bark. Politicians gotta put on a show.True, although it's pretty obvious that this is just political grandstanding on Abbott's part, along with his pledge to continue building the Texas portion of Trump's wall. And as the article indicated, they're only arresting single adult males, not families, since they clearly want to avoid any scandals about kids in cages. So, they're selective about enforcement, too.
The irony is, the Republicans never wanted to truly deal with the problem of illegal immigration in the first place. Too many businesses have grown to depend upon illegal labor. But they don't want to make them legal either, because then the workers won't be as vulnerable and easy to prey upon.
They really should go after the employers of these undocumented workers. That is, if they're really serious about solving the problem they're claiming to want to solve. I don't think they are, and this is yet another sham. A showpiece for the masses, while still continuing business as usual.
How do you propose that illegals be supported if they can't work?
Except they are not moths, they are people. I can't support flaunting the law, but I don't want to see poor people miss out on the opportunities my poor ancestors found here either.I call it the argument over moths that keeps flying into the flames.
People solve their own problems or at least find a way to adapt and even overcome.Except they are not moths, they are people. I can't support flaunting the law, but I don't want to see poor people miss out on the opportunities my poor ancestors found here either.
I am sort of stuck in the middle on this.
That is the cold, hard reality of it. I am happy that we have laws, but I am not necessarily happy about how this is all working out.Being an illegal immigrant is a crime. Trespassing is a crime. That's how borders work.
Illegal entry into another country is a solution. Not a legal one, but still it is a solution. However, if you fix up your own house, you may find it is nicer to live in does seem to be what you are saying.People solve their own problems or at least find a way to adapt and even overcome.
There has never been a time when they were not people. Just unfortunate, poor and vulnerable people looking for something better.They are going to have to graduate from being moths to being people.

I have seen various estimates that indicate that illegals contribute to the economy, because all those businesses higher them.
It isn't like the supply side of this has the only people breaking the law.
Texas begins jailing border crossers on trespassing charges - ABC News (go.com)
I heard they were going to start doing this, arresting migrants for whatever minor offense they can find.
They're holding them in an empty state prison. A lot of the border counties are small with limited resources, so their jails are not big enough.
They said they're not arresting family units, only single adult men.
Why do you think people are in the US illegally?How do you propose that illegals be supported if they can't work?
Of course you didn't.That wasn't what I was proposing.
Several reasons....Why do you think people are in the US illegally?
In short: incentive.Several reasons....
Work
Freedom from threats
Family

Point of order, the Principality of Hutt has reconciled with the Australian government and no longer proclaims itself a separate nation.That may be true for countries that are literally one person's property, such as Liechtenstein, Monaco, Sealand, or that weird farm in Australia. But as far as I know, the US is no person's private property.
Do we have any proof at all that the people imprisoned have been factually violating specific people's property rights?
You think that's a bug or a feature?It would be nice if one could get in legally without facing discriminatory hurdles that make that process near impossible.
