## Transcript

I think it passes constitutional muster. I think it's the right policy for the State of Texas. Do you have to have a secure border? And that's not just a republican in an ideal that that is that is Independence That Swing voters. That's even some Democrats who want to secure borders at C4 goes a long way to address that and it should be it should be the law in state of Texas. I would expect the court ultimately to strike the lot down its extraordinary because it directly interferes with international law and federal determinations of who has the right to remain in the US and that interference has pretty severe foreign policy consequences.
