Abbott's invasion declaration without deportation is just catch and release on the state level: Ken Cuccinelli

Texas border town barbeque owner says she was forced to sell her family business after migrants broke in and stole registers, computers and family heirlooms. Gov. Greg Abbott invoking the U.S. and Texas constitutions' invasion clauses won't change anything if illegal immigrants aren't deported, Ken Cuccinelli, a former Trump administration official, told Fox News. Abbott announced Tuesday that he invoked the clauses to "defend our state against an invasion" to combat the record-setting wave of illegal immigration occurring along the border. The Texas Republican sent a letter to Texas county judges indicating that he would deploy the National Guard and the Texas Department of Public Safety and build a border wall, among other actions. "If the goal is actually to reduce the harm to Texas, then he needs to start using the invasion authority to return people to Mexico," said Ken Cuccinelli, who served as a Department of Homeland Security acting deputy secretary under former President Trump.
