In a surprising and disappointing decision from the High Court, Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Amy Coney Barrett sided with the court’s three liberals — Elena Kagan, Sonia Sotomayor, and Ketanji Brown Jackson to reverse a lower court decision to prevent the Federal Government from removing razor wire placed by Texas to secure its Border. It is disappointing that the Supreme Court has joined the White House in its effort to destroy our Sovereignty. It is surprising that Justice Barrett, who is supposed to be a strict Constitutionalist, abandoned the conservative judges to support the three Liberal justices. This case addresses a complex situation with the Federal and State Governments competing for control of the Border but for two very different reasons. This case is one of many involving disputes between Texas and the Biden Administration.

Texas wants to protect its people and its Sovereignty. It has an obligation to that purpose. The millions of illegals who have crossed the Border into Texas since Biden took office threaten the security of Texans and are costing them billions in tax dollars they do not have budgeted for the care and safety of illegals invading their state. These millions of people from around the globe are also filling up available residences, overcrowding the public school system, placing a tremendous burden on social services, and adding to the crime numbers in Texas. The surge of humanity also comes with drugs and guns, which are a problem for Texas and beyond. That is why Texas is taking the steps necessary to secure an otherwise open Border.

The Federal Government, specifically the Biden Administration, wants nothing to do with a closed and secure Border. They have no concern for the Sovereignty of the country and certainly not for Texas. The Federal resources on the Border are not there to stop or deter people from crossing the Border, but to assist them, aid in their illegal quest to enter America, and then process them quickly so NGOs like the Catholic Church can transport them to other regions of the country for permanent residence. We do not have a Border Patrol as that would intimate control of the Border. We have Border Assistance. These people cross the Border and are given court dates, sometimes as much as seven years out. There is little or no vetting, which is why we have found hundreds of illegals are also on terrorist watch lists.

Joe Biden has finally decided the Border is not secure, and his answer to securing it is a problem of money and not policy. He repeatedly claims that he needs Congress to give him more money but not for closing the Border, but for faster processing of the illegal immigrants. That is the core of Biden’s immigration policy; let as many people as want to come to America, come in through any opening they choose, and then have NGOs redistribute the masses throughout the country. This is not policy. This is treason and for some reason, five Supreme Court Justices saw fit to side with Joe Biden. One thing we can be sure of is Texans will not give up the fight. This issue is more black and white than people make it. It is about Sovereignty and the Republicans believe in it and Democrats don’t.
