One thing mysteriously missing from this article — and all the other articles about this developing story — is the federal government’s argument why it should be allowed to take down Texas’ barbed wire fences. I mean, what could possibly be the rational justification? The closest the Times’ article got to an explanation was citing that the order lets border agents remove migrants who get caught in the fence for medical treatment, and vaguely referenced the federal government’s powers to control immigration.
Last week, Texas lawmakers passed a law criminalizing illegal border crossing, which allows local police to arrest migrants for breaking the new Texas law, since local police lack jurisdiction to enforce federal immigration laws. Last week, the Times ran a gloomy article observing this new law “poses a direct challenge to the federal government’s authority over policing the borders” and will almost certainly wind up in court.
Texas democrats opposed the new law because … it was racist. “My community is being attacked,” one Latino representative, Armando Walle, a Houston Democrat, told his Republican colleagues. “Y’all don’t understand,” he said. “It hurts us personally.”
Uh huh.
Biden Regime Deploys Heavy Machinery to LIFT Razor Wire for Massive Mob of Illegals at Rio Grande
Border Hawk cameras captured the moment Border Patrol used heavy machinery to raise concertina wire erected by Texas authorities - just as a group of more than 300 illegal aliens 'coincidentally' arrived in the area and stormed the river bank at Eagle Pass, TX.
"This huge caravan of around 300 migrants crossed into Eagle Pass thanks to Border Patrol lifting the barbed wire. Hundreds of migrants crossed in a few minutes," Border Hawk correspondent Efraín González reports.
"Somehow, these large groups of migrants are informed about the place and time when the forklifts raise the barbed wire to cross in groups."

Biden's migrant crisis will cost taxpayers $451 BILLION a year: Staggering Republican report lays out how much is spent on healthcare and accommodation
Migrant family journeys back to Venezuela, more leaving Chicago as winter looms: ‘The American Dream doesn’t exist anymore’
By Laura Rodríguez Presa

... On Nov. 3, they set out to go back to Texas. And from there, they would go to Venezuela, the country they fled to seek asylum in the United States. They’re among the countless number of migrants who have chosen to leave Chicago in recent weeks in their search for a better life. They’re looking for warmer weather, more resources or to reunite with friends and family in other places.

But it looks like plenty will keep coming into to replace them thanks the REPUBLICANS killing the initiatives to secure the border. But keep voting down party lines thinking you're making a difference. If you didn't get it after 9/11 and the Patriot Act, when Republicans controlled everything, this probably won't sink in either.

During an interview with Bloomberg TV on Monday, DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas responded to a question on how to handle people who are in the country illegally by stating that there are “12 million people who are here in the United States who have been contributing so fundamentally to our country’s well-being.”
Illegal Alien Arrested for Fatally Shooting Two Sisters in the Head in Their Texas Home
Sisters Catalina Andrade Valdez, 47, and Merced Andrade Bailon, 43, were found dead in their home in Farmers Branch, Texas, last Friday.
Uh-oh! The UK Daily Mail ran a story Saturday headlined, “Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs demands $512M reimbursement from Biden in scathing letter accusing him of failure to secure southern border.”
Democrat Katie Hobbs might want to check in with New York Mayor Eric Adams, before she gets too far down the risky road of complaining about the mafia-like Biden Administration’s open border policies. But Katie Hobbs is not, as they say, an intellectual giant.
Last Tuesday, Lukeville, Arizona’s daily count of illegal migrant ‘encounters’ topped the historic record, shooting over 12,000 per day for the first time. At that rate, new arrivals total +120,000 every ten days, or +1.2 million every three months — and that’s just the ones streaming through Lukeville.
At this rate, illegals could soon outnumber citizens.
Lukeville’s illegals hailed from all over the world, including far-flung places like China, India, and Senegal. And they were mostly male.
When asked, Customs and Border Patrol agents blamed, not Joe Biden, but the smugglers for the surge in illegals. Those wily smugglers! Refusing to enforce U.S. border policy!
Maybe Katie isn’t as dumb as she looks. Maybe there’s safety in numbers. Along with Governor Hobbs, both Arizona Senators — Mark Kelly and Kyrsten Sinema — slammed the Lukeville situation and demanded better solutions from Biden's administration.
You have to give her credit for getting right down to it. The final paragraph in Katie’s short letter to President Robert L. Peters demanded a half-billion dollars:
Additionally, due to the federal government's failure to secure our border, the State of Arizona has spent $512,529,333 on border operations including migrant transportation, drug interdiction, and law enforcement. Pursuant to Section 26-105(E) of the Arizona Revised Statutes, I am requesting the federal government reimburse the state for these expenses. I anticipate coordination between our offices to secure these funds. I look forward to your prompt response on the above matters.
Haha, don’t hold your breath waiting for that “prompt response,” Governor.
You know, it’s hard to say what happens next. It’s one thing to unleash the FBI on a mayor like Eric Adams, and quite another to go after a sitting Governor. But on the other hand, there is precedent, since the FBI did almost try to kidnap Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer.
So, Governor Hobbs may want to buff up her security team. Just saying.
