Texas SB4 Explained — State Power vs Federal Supremacy

Texas SB4 is getting sold in one sentence: “Texas can arrest illegal border crossers.”That’s not the full story. SB4 is a stress test of the American system — whether a state can enforce immigration-style crimes when it believes the federal government has failed to enforce the border.In this episode, I break down what SB4 actually does, why the legal fight keeps bouncing back and forth, and the concept most people miss: standing — the legal gatekeeper that decides who can sue and why that changes outcomes.The real question is simple:Should states be allowed to enforce immigration-related crimes when the federal government won’t… or is that a dangerous precedent that turns America into a patchwork?Follow The Watchman 98:Beacons (all links): https://beacons.ai/thewatchman98TikTok: https://tiktok.com/@the_watchman98
