Supreme Court allows federal agents to cut razor wire Texas installed on US-Mexico border - Restoring An Invasion Route For Illegals!

[ABCnews] A divided Supreme Court on Monday allowed Border Patrol agents to cut razor wire that Texas installed on the U.S.-Mexico border, while a lawsuit over the wire continues.

The justices, by a 5-4 vote, granted an emergency appeal from the Biden administration, which has been in an escalating standoff at the border with Texas and had objected to an appellate ruling in favor of the state.

The concertina wire along roughly 30 miles (48 kilometers) of the Rio Grande near the border city of Eagle Pass is part of Texas Gov. Greg Abbott's broader fight with the administration over immigration enforcement.

Abbott also has authorized installing floating barriers in the Rio Grande near Eagle Pass and allowed troopers to arrest and jail thousands of migrants on trespassing charges. The administration also is challenging those actions in federal court.

A federal appeals court last month forced federal agents to stop cutting the concertina wire. Large numbers of migrants have crossed at Eagle Pass in recent months.

At least the state and federal border guards got a bit of a break before being flooded again.

In court papers, the administration said the wire impedes Border Patrol agents from reaching migrants as they cross the river and that, in any case, federal immigration law trumps Texas’ own efforts to stem the flow of migrants into the country.

Texas officials have argued that federal agents cut the wire to help groups crossing illegally through the river before taking them in for processing.

Chief Justice John Roberts and Justices Amy Coney Barrett, Ketanji Brown Jackson, Elena Kagan and Sonia Sotomayor sided with the administration. Justices Samuel Alito, Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh and Clarence Thomas voted with Texas.

No one provided any explantion for their vote.
People Republicans fought hard for show their true colors

So it’s unanimous: everyone in power, from the White House, to the hedge fund managers, to the Supreme Court of the United States has decided to destroy the country by allowing it to be invaded. That leaves the population to defend itself. Where are the men of Texas? Why aren’t…

#1 It is a stay not a ruling but I still don’t like it. One of the few things the national government should be doing is protecting us from invasion. They aren’t abdicating that responsibility; they are using our money to organize and facilitate the trafficking in partnership with cartels. We have said that for a while.
have not been a fan of Abbott’s symbolic gestures in regard to border security, but in this case he has demonstrated to all Americans what the true position s are of all stake holders with regard to border security. Biden is for bulldozing the barriers, handing out cell phones and giving everybody a lift to the nearest Texas town.

#3 There is no remedy to be found in the law, as there is no "law" anymore. We're just making it up as we go folks, but if it helps you can always write a letter to your Congress critter.

#6 Technically, the ruling is correct. The Federal government is responsible for defense of its borders.

The problem is what happens when the Federal government ignores or encourages the invasion of its borders despite the state's wishes? There isn't a clear or defined legal path for it.

That is why Texas and the republicans are telling the feds to go pound sand.

#7 The Constitution never foresaw nor approached a reality where the federal govt abdicated part of the Constitution while enforcing other parts of it.

#8 The Supreme Court had the option to order the Executive Branch to follow laws authorized by the Legislative Branch. It chose not to.
