U.S. Supreme Court says Texas can’t block federal agents from the border

Biden Admin, with the help of the Supreme Court, conservatives siding with liberals, won the Texas Border battle. The barbed wire debate is over. Barbed wire is inhuman and injures people. Dems are not about that kind security.

Immigration is in the purview of the federal government, not the states.

They are, of course, correct. How could textualists rule otherwise?

Moreover, one GOP Congressman (Rep Clay Higgins) posted to social media: "My thoughts are that the feds are staging a civil war" yadda yadda tough talk. Sorry, no one's starting a civil war, and that kind of talk from a US Congressman is irresponsible.

The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday ordered Texas to allow federal border agents access to the state’s border with Mexico, where Texas officials have deployed miles of concertina wire.

The order did not explain justices’ decisions. For now, it effectively upholds longstanding court rulings that the Constitution gives the federal government sole responsibility for border security.

In recent weeks, Shelby Park in Eagle Pass has become the center of a standoff between Texas and the federal government over immigration enforcement. Most recently, Gov. Greg Abbott has ramped up border enforcement around the 47-acre park by surrounding the perimeter by the razor wire and limiting access to the city park.

“The Biden Administration has repeatedly cut wire that Texas installed to stop illegal crossings, opening the floodgates to illegal immigrants. The absence of razor wire and other deterrence strategies encourages migrants to make unsafe and illegal crossings between ports of entry, while making the job of Texas National Guard soldiers and DPS troopers more dangerous and difficult,” Andrew Mahaleris, a spokesperson for Abbott, said in a statement. “This case is ongoing, and Governor Abbott will continue fighting to defend Texas' property and its constitutional authority to secure the border.”

 

thomas and alito seem to be on the wrong side of just about every political issue there is. I thought the ones forced on the unwilling nation by the previously bipartisan impeached administration were bad but those two seem to try and one up even the furthest right winger.

72 and 75 years old — another two reasons we need term limits.

 

Illegal immigrant women and children are exploited, raped, and even left to die, but barbed wire is inhumane.

 

Nothing inhumane about barbed wire. But so be it.

 

Does the barbed wire prevent any of those things?

 

I don't believe so. I was merely pointing out that the feigned concern for humanity is not credible.

 

How ironic lol

 

indeed

 

It sure would be nice if the Biden administration could put forth some effort on immigration. Their policy has to be more than just blocking other people's policies.

 

one is things we are doing, one is things gangs are doing.....

 

Congress needs to change the laws, we can't get a bipartisan deal out of congress

 

Open Borders Demokrats win the "Texas Border battle". Texas and the rest of America loses.

 

I don’t think they ruled it can’t be on fences.

 

They’re trying to do it legally, but since Congress makes the laws, their hands are tied.

Traitor Joe (and his party) needs to change his Open Border policy. This is solely on him.

 

Those two do loooove free yacht trips and luxury vacations.

 

The POTUS doesn't write laws. Now who's in charge of the House again? Once you figure that out, take your concerns and issues to them.

You're welcome.

 

What good is making more laws that Brandon won't execute/enforce?

 

Ah, so you're one of the rare rightists that believes our immigration laws are perfect as is?

 

Which ones is he not enforcing?

 

Did I say that? I said there is no point in compromising when we know Biden won't enforce anything we asked for.

 

I don't know if you haven't figured it out, Doofen, there is a serious flaw in your reasoning. [=

Now think about it.

Can't figure it out? Hmmm?

Okay, I suppose I'm going to have to explain it to you. It's like this.,

AMerica is not exploiting or raping, but America IS injuring via the barbed wire.

We can do something about the latter, but how do we stop coyotes from exploiting and raping?

You think Trump can do better? I don't think so. Don't give me crap that numbers were less. Numbers, in a variety of categories, are going up, form voters at the polls, stocks, you name it, there is more of everything and this idea that the rapes are going to go down with Trump isn't particularly logical. now then

Now do you see the flaw in your reasoning?

 

Nothing inhumane about America causing children to be cut via barbed wire?

Wow.

 

Are illegal immigrants trying to pass those fences?

As always, your logic wanes.

 

We have a bill, a good one, a number of conservatives are for it, but Johnson won't put it to the floor.
