It is about time this happened. America has been weakened by the Biden Administration and they were not doing anything about the border crisis. So Texas and Missouri stepped up and demanded we go back to the “Remain in Mexico” policy that Trump used to secure our border. They filed a lawsuit and won. The case was appealed by the Biden Admin all the way up to The Supreme Court of the United States, and they agreed with Texas and Missouri.
“Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton on Wednesday said his state would continue to hold the Biden administration accountable, a day after the Supreme Court reinstated the Trump-era “Remain in Mexico” policy in response to a lawsuit from Texas and Missouri.
In a 6-3 decision, the court denied a request for a stay on a federal court ruling ordering the administration to reinstate the policy – formally called the Migrant Protection Protocols (MPP) – which keeps migrants in Mexico as they awaited their hearings.
The policy, set up in 2019, was scrapped by the Biden administration as part of a sweep of moves to reverse Trump-era immigration policies. Texas and Missouri had sought (and eventually won) a preliminary injunction against the administration’s June 1 memo formally ending the policy — arguing that the ending of the policy was in breach of the Administrative Procedures Act (APA).
“It’s fundamentally important because we have a president who looked at federal law and said, ‘I don’t have to follow federal law, I’m the president, I do what I want, I don’t care if it’s in statute, I don’t care if Congress passed it, I can do what I want, I’m the president,’” Paxton told Fox News in an interview on Wednesday. “So it’s even bigger than immigration, it’s about the Constitution, the fact that even the president is supposed to follow the law.
Republicans and Trump officials have argued that “Remain in Mexico,” which resulted in court tents being set up along the border where migrants could briefly visit to have their cases heard before returning to Mexico, ended “catch-and-release” into the U.S. and therefore reduced the pull factors bringing migrants north.”
Texas and Missouri have now done more for the country than Biden and Harris. But I guess that’s setting the bar kind of low…
