Texas is going to grab Julio after he illegally enters the country in plain sight and charge him with trespassing. Texas doesn’t need to know Julio’s immigration status, or eligibility for asylum, or wait for the Feds to admit him to book him for trespassing.
If the Feds want to determine his immigration status, eligibility for asylum, or admit him, they can talk to Julio after his stay in the clink.
Texas can also tell Julio, “Serve six months for trespassing, or go back to Mexico.” That’s because “going back to Mexico” isn’t a deportation. Julio doesn’t need to be ordered by an immigration judge to choose to go back to Mexico.
The jurisdictional conflict you imply doesn’t exist.
You are assuming that Texas will grab people as soon as they enter the country. If that is the case, then Texas is required to inform CBP immediately and turn the person over to CBP. Texas has zero jurisdiction over people entering the country.
If the person is being held by Texas, CBP will request that he be released. When Texas refuses, the Feds will go to court and a Federal judge will order the release to CBP, and probably sanction the State of Texas.
The more likely case is that DPS is going to detain people who are brown and speak Spanish, even if those people are in the country legally. Once that happens, Texas is going to be on the hook for millions in compensation for illegal detention.
If it's the Feds that are responsible for enforcing our immigration laws then why aren't they putting troops on the border to stop these people from getting into our country? The Border Patrol are only being instructed to process them instead.
The Executive branch has the authority to do what they are doing. This isn't the Trump administration where laws were ignored on a daily basis.

Worst comment ever.
The second part -- the claim that the Trump administration ignored the laws on a daily basis -- is dumb and false. But the notion that the executive branch has the authority to give away the country is utter lunacy.

Well, LUNACY is the primary characteristic of liberals.
“The Constitution is clear: Section IV Article 4 says the federal government “shall protect each of [the states] against Invasion,” said Rep. Arrington. “When the federal government fails to fulfill this constitutional duty, Article 1 Section 10 expressly guarantees states the sovereign power to repel an invasion and defend their citizenry from overwhelming and “imminent danger.” This resolution affirms that states don’t have to be passive victims of this Administration’s border security failures; rather, they should exercise their sovereign, constitutional right to defend themselves and their citizens.”

Indeed....Trump helped to stop them while they were still in, or approaching, southern Mexico!
