Expecting consistency in GOP talking points is just setting everyone up for disappointment. They're not a party with actual realistic political ideas to designed to help the majority of Americans. Instead, they've sacrificed that in favor of knee-jerk contrarianism ... even when that leads to obvious contradictions like the bit you mentioned above.
Because the Supreme Court says he can.

Like I mentioned, if that random anecdote isn't something you find convincing w.r.t immigration, why would you expect anyone else to? Seems like an off topic diversion
Perhaps you and Mayorkas could attend some briefing together by the border patrol. Mayorkas was asked about the bracelets worn by migrants and he didn't know what they were. The bracelets are coded with information as to where migrants are to cross and if they have tried to cross before (if too many times they will be forced to pay again) and how much money they may owe. Sometimes they are given new bracelets after they cross. The cartels make them work off their debt, whether by labor or by sex--modern day slavery in the United States. I guess you could argue some might enter freely knowing the score--then that would be indentured servitude. But from the reports I have heard most are tricked. How many are truly released when they pay off their debt we do not know. Some women interviewed did confide to just let them go on their way, if they applied for asylum and sanctuary their loved ones would be killed by the cartels. Now this is only encounters, we don't know the identity or the fate of the millions of gotaways and those who crossed completely undected.
Joe Biden and crew broke the border laws and their policies aid the human trafficking. They know it but, just like with the fentanyl deaths, they are willing to sacrifice people to further their agenda.
Yes, the cartels give them the bracelets to keep track of customers who have paid to be transported through cartel-controlled territory at the border. Perhaps you can explain how these bracelets are used to control migrants after they are in the US, as they are mostly taken off just before crossing.
I believe that extremely tight and very strong border security will do a lot to significantly decrease human trafficking into the USA.
What does that mean. They can start shooting?
Abbott asserts Texas's right to self-defense amid border surge
Abbot excoriated the Biden administration, saying that Biden had "violated his oath to faithfully executive immigration laws enacted by Congress."justthenews.com
"Texas Republican Gov. Greg Abbott on Wednesday reiterated the right of the state of Texas to defend itself amid an unprecedented surge in illegal border crossings, insisting that the Biden administration had failed in its duties and forced Austin's hand.
Abbott and the federal government have, for months, quarreled over the state's unilateral effort to secure the border amid perceived federal apathy: Operation Lone Star. The effort has prompted multiple legal battles, including a dispute over the state's deployment of a razor wire fence along the Rio Grande that saw the Supreme Court this week permit federal agents to cut through the fence.
In a statement posted to X on Wednesday, Abbot excoriated the Biden administration, saying that Biden had "violated his oath to faithfully execute immigration laws enacted by Congress."
