"The brief order noted that four conservative members of the nine-justice court would have rejected the government's request. They were Justice Clarence Thomas, Justice Samuel Alito, Justice Neil Gorsuch and Justice Brett Kavanaugh.

The Biden administration says the wire prevents agents from reaching migrants who have already crossed over the border into the U.S.

Texas Gov. Gregg Abbott, a Republican, installed the razor wire near the Rio Grande at Eagle Pass as part of an operation to address illegal immigration that has brought the state into conflict with the Biden administration.

Texas sued after Border Patrol agents cut through some of the razor wire, claiming the agents had trespassed and damaged state property.

A federal judge ruled for the Biden administration, but the New Orleans-based 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals last month reversed that decision, saying agents could not cut or move the wire unless there was a medical emergency.”

Comment: I am unsurprised by this decision. The Constitution clearly grants immigration authority to the federal power.

Are you not aware that over a hundred thousand migrants have crossed the border from Mexico and ended up in New York City recently?

Yes, but New Yorkers don't vote in Texas elections - they're going to vote against the Democrats who do represent them. It's not going to swing the state to Trump but it's definitely hurting the mayor and I think it may even affect Congressional elections.
