WASHINGTON — The Biden administration on Tuesday asked the Supreme Court to allow federal Border Patrol agents to cut through or move razor wire Texas installed on the U.S.-Mexico border as part of a contentious effort by the state to prevent illegal border crossings.
Solicitor General Elizabeth Prelogar said in a court filing that Border Patrol agents have authority under federal law to access private land at the border and that Texas has no basis to thwart them from carrying out their duties. The Biden administration says the wire prevents agents from reaching migrants who have already crossed over the border into the U.S. The case arose when

As he continues to “grapple” with the border “crisis.”
You know what I hate? I don’t care what fake English and fake definitions the Communists use in their propaganda. But I resent they think we’re too stupid to know.
My loathe meter is about to explode.

It is painfully obvious that this government is no longer By the People and For the People! The Biden administration is deliberately destroying the sovereignty of the country and We, the People are now their enemy!

The SC should tell Joey to stick it where the sun doesn't shine.

I wonder if we'll ever find out who is blackmailing Joe Biden, who is bribing him to change policy and who in the swamp is pulling his strings. It's truly astounding what has happened to our country.

At least NBC has the decency to use the word "illegally" instead of soft and phony migrant language. Joe and his minions are conducting an invasion not in the best interests of the American people. That is known as "treason" and will soon develop into a war.

By not enforcing the border, Washington is basically saying that Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and California are not part of the United States. Mexico would like that. They have said they would like the border to be moved. Wonder where Washington would place our border. Perhaps they would give Nevada and Colorado to Mexico too. Considering how anti-American Washington has become, I would consider this a distinct possibility rather than rubbish.

Put up razor wire...then cut holes in it! Build a partial fence....then allow illegals to walk around the end of it!

No doubt Biden and the leftist and socialist Democrats have a special interest in Texas and that border State's 58 or so electoral votes. That is the main reason why Biden and the leftist and socialist Democrats are allowing Texas to be flooded with unlimited numbers of so-called foreign migrants, who are actually illegal aliens under the provisions of the US immigration laws. Biden and the leftist and socialist Democrats actually want unlimited numbers of those Third World origin illegal aliens to stay in Texas, and permanently resettle there, thus permanently changing the future voter demographics of Texas to what Biden and the leftist and socialist Democrats believe will be to their great political favor thus allowing them to permanently capture Texas's 58 or so electoral votes making in impossible for any future wimpy Republican to ever win future Presidential elections.
To do that Biden and the leftist and socialist Democrats are attempting to push enough wimpy congressional Republicans and RINOS to pass what they call "Comprehensive Immigration Reform" that mainly contains a Democrat designed "path to citizenship" amnesty for just about all of the illegal alien population in the USA. Biden and the leftist and socialist Democrats believe that they can then transform that "New American" population group into future leftist and socialist Democrat supporters and voters in Texas and elsewhere, by promising them complete access to the US social welfare programs, free healthcare, and the ability to bring their foreign family members into the USA by the millions. The prime reason for all that is to keep the leftists and socialist Democrats in permanent political power controlling both the Congress and the Presidency indefinitely.
The Governor of Texas has no doubt figured out that Biden and leftist and socialist Democrat grand illegal immigration plan and has thrown a wrench into it by transporting as many illegal aliens out of Texas to the leftist and socialist Democrat so-called "sanctuary cities" causing a political problem within the Democrat Party, as while those cities run by Democrats welcome unlimited numbers of illegal aliens, the glitch is that the local Democrat politicians want the federal government to pay the costs of resettling unlimited numbers of illegal aliens in those big cities by sending them unlimited billions of federal taxpayers dollars, that will not happen as long as the wimpy Republicans control the House of Representative where such money has to be appropriated.

This administration, and virtually all of the Left these days, steadfastly refuse to defend our borders, and even attack citizens who advocate defending our borders. What seems especially creepy to me is that many are the same Leftists who advocate defending their lives against babies that they conceived.
Remove the metaphorical razor wire from your own womb and let undocumented newborns into your lives the way you demand we remove the real razor wire from our border and let "undocumented immigrants" into our country.

Biden's case is bogus as the land where the fences are situated belong to either the State of Texas, City or Towns, or to private owners. The Border Patrol can go on those lands to enforce the customs and immigration laws but has no right to damage or remove physical property, including fences, on those lands.
