WThanks for answering my questions.
Your answer to 1. seems reasonable. (Although I find it weird that USA calls them aliens. Aliens are little green men with large bald heads, big eyes and spindly fingers)

Modes of Entry for the Unauthorized Migrant Population
About half of the illegals entered USA legally but then overstayed. So they crossed the borders legally at an airport or a border crossing point.
Somewhat more than half, entered the country illegally. Some evaded customs and immigration inspectors at ports of entry by hiding in vehicles such as cargo trucks. Others trekked through the Arizona desert, waded across the Rio Grande or otherwise eluded the U.S. Border Patrol.
So many of these also came through the approved border points, where there would never have been a wall.
So it doesn't seem that USA has an open boarder policy. The illegals are still illegals, and they either overstay or they sneak in. Biden and his admin are not forcing the border states to let them in.
For those that come in via the Southern border, and stay in Texas, it seems that it would be the burden of the Texas authorities (not Biden and his admin or federal resources) to deal with them if they come across them. And this would mean perhaps deporting them???
So if Abbot were to do this then he would be committing a crime?
It seems that Abbot is merely asserting his first amendment right to free speech and saying stuff as a matter of political theatre than actually admitting to crimes????
Technically an alien is any noncitizen. But since they are almost all here to work they are usually called "illegal migrants" since they tend to be "migrant workers". Very very few are people that are not here to work. And since they are willing to do the work that those who oppose their presence refuse to do their opposition to them is rather hard to understand.
Hmm, perhaps they might oppose them because they are racIsts?
