The Border Dispute: Texas vs. Biden

The border dispute between Texas and President Joe Biden's administration is heating up. The Supreme Court ruled in favor of the administration, allowing border patrol agents to remove razor wire installed by Texas officials. However, Texas Governor Greg Abbott refuses to back down and has increased state border patrol and added more barriers and razor wire. Texas argues that it has the authority to protect its border and keep out anyone it chooses, while the federal government claims the authority to regulate access to Texas' borders. This legal battle has raised questions about the balance of power between the federal and state governments and highlights the ongoing issue of the record-breaking number of migrants crossing the border.
