It’s too bad the U.S. needs something like the river border barrier, but, Biden and his underlings are doing less than nothing to stop illegal immigration
Texas’ floating barrier between US and Mexico can stay for now, court rules in reversal
A federal appeals court on Wednesday reversed an order requiring Texas to move a floating barrier on the Rio Grande that drew backlash from Mexico — the latest development in legal battles between the Biden administration and Texas Republican Gov. Greg Abbott over control of migration at the border.
In December, a divided panel of the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals had sided with a federal district judge in Texas who said the buoys must be moved. On Wednesday, the court vacated the panel’s 2-1 ruling after a majority of its 17 active judges voted to rehear the case.
The series of linked, concrete-anchored buoys stretches roughly the length of three soccer fields. The state installed it along the international border with Mexico between the Texas border city of Eagle Pass and Piedras Negras, Coahuila.
The barrier is one focal point in the legal disputes over border control between Democratic President Joe Biden and Abbott. The Biden administration also is fighting for the right to cut razor-wire fencing at the border and for access to a city park at the border that the state fenced off.
I’m waiting for a court to finally ask the Biden administration as to what it is doing to uphold the Constitution (invasion) and laws, because Texas wouldn’t need to do any of this if the federal government under Biden would do their job. Their duty. Biden is fighting against any measure that simply slows illegals down. If the GOP wants to impeach him, this dereliction of duty would seem an easy one.
Meanwhile, up in the sanctuary city of Boston, where the mayor has been complaining about being overrun with illegals/asylum declarers who were shipped there by Gov. Abbott
Haitian illegal immigrant charged with rape released back onto streets in Boston despite ICE appeals
A Haitian illegal immigrant charged with raping a developmentally disabled person was released back into the community in Boston, as authorities ignored an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) request to transfer them into its custody.
“Disturbingly and despite our filing an immigration detainer, this individual was released back into the community by the criminal court,” ICE said in a statement.
Being a sanctuary city means Boston doesn’t work with ICE. It shouldn’t mean that they release this scumbag back on the streets. Does anyone think he won’t run off?
So, the fire department says they are not coming.
You grab the hose and start fighting the fire.
The government steps in and cuts your hose.
Of Course everything is Fiiine for

It might not be a good question for one of Texas’ lawyers to ask, because asking the question is an admission that protecting the border is a federal, not state, responsibility. The city of Hazleton, Pennsylvania, passed local ordinances to stop businesses and landlords from doing business with illegal immigrants, and eventually lost, in 2007, when the courts ruled that immigration responsibilities were exclusively federal. That’s somewhat different from Texas officials trying to blockade the border, but if the principle used were viewed expansively, Texas would have no authority to blockade the border.
That’s not to say that Texas shouldn’t blockade the border; Governor Abbott is doing the right things! But Texas might not win in court.
However, with that kind of expansive view, the cockamamie notion that some cities and states could declare themselves ‘sanctuaries’ for criminals would also be illegal.
Under our system, Congress passes the laws, and the executive enforces them. The Framers of the Constitution assumed that there would always be honorable men as President, and never seriously considered that the President and his minions would simply not enforce laws the President didn’t like.
Lol
The floating barrier is 1/4 mile long Tx has1000 miles of borders.
Does any state have the right to block travel into of our of its borders? Including navigable waters?
According to international treaties signed by the USA refugees must be given asylum while determining their status.
Only US courts can determine if any person, including migrants, are criminals. That is the way law works in the USA. The US Constitution applies to all people in the USA, both citizens and non citizens, guaranteeing their day in court of law. Not trial by popular opinion
That is what our Founding Fathers wanted.
So what? What does that even mean?
Every state has a right to protect its own borders. States are sovereign. Are you saying that if an army invades Texas they don’t have a right to defend themselves?
first of all these aren’t refugees they’re invaders from other countries all over the world. Secondly we don’t have to give asylum to anybody unless they go through ports of entry. Finally we don’t have to pay any treaties we’ve proved that the past ask the Indians.
That is the way it works on an individual basis moron but when you got 12 million people in three months coming in that’s an invasion not migrants. If you don’t like it move. The only time either you or Elwood mentioned the constitution of the Bible is when you wanna use it against us as a cudgel. The constitution is there to defend and protect the people of the United States of America not foreign invaders. And not communist Nazis and Muslims that want to overthrow our government. As they say it’s not a suicide pact.
leftists and neo Nazis like you have absolutely no idea what our founding fathers wanted and if you did you’d ignore it anyway. You realize our founding fathers wanted slavery, women not to vote and didn’t even acknowledge the existence of faggs and dykes.
That is what our Founding Fathers wanted.
This guy is about as compassionate as Swalwell or Rimjob.
