The best part is that come January 20th the Trump administration will drop any Biden-Harris admin appeal of this ruling and move to help Texas.
A federal appeals court on Wednesday ruled that Texas has the right to build a razor wire border wall to deter illegal immigration into the Lone Star State.
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott announced the ruling on X, saying President Biden was “wrong to cut our razor wire.”
“We continue adding more razor wire border barrier,” the Republican leader wrote.
Wednesday’s 2-1 decision by the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals clears the way for Texas to pursue a lawsuit accusing the Biden administration of trespassing without having to remove the fencing.
Circuit Judge Kyle Duncan, a Trump appointee during the president-elect’s first term, wrote for Wednesday’s majority that Texas was trying only to safeguard its own property, not “regulate” U.S. Border Patrol, and was likely to succeed in its trespass claims.
Los Federales have primacy on immigration per the Constitution, but, do States not have the right to protect their own statehood? Don’t forget, the original mean of “state” was “nation.” It was 13 former colonies now considering themselves to be almost their own nations brought together as the United States Of America, with a central federal government for certain functions. And a need to protect their land. It’s a novel argument.
