In a recent 5-4 ruling, the Supreme Court has allowed federal agents to remove the razor wire fence that Texas had erected to discourage migrants from crossing the border with Mexico. Justices Alito, Thomas, Kavanaugh, and Gorsuch dissented while Justices Barrett and Roberts joined with the majority against Texas. This ruling may have disappointed some, as the fence was seen as a measure to address the issue of immigration. However, it is important to note that the underlying cause of the border situation lies with the policies of the Biden administration.
Under President Joe Biden and Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas, the policy towards migrants entering the United States has been to allow nearly every individual who crosses the border to stay. This approach marks a departure from the policies of the previous administration. Critics argue that this lawsuit against Texas effectively ends any future negotiations on the border with the Biden White House.
