How Long Will This Ruling Last?

Texas won the current skirmish in the battle with the Biden administration over illegal migrants. The Biden administration failed to secure the southern border, so Texas did it. Then the Biden administration sued Texas to stop their action. The Supreme Court ruled that “Texas’ law enabling local police to arrest illegal migrants” could take effect today, according to Katelynn Richardson at The Daily Signal. 

After extending a pause on the law multiple times, the Supreme Court allowed Texas’ SB 4 to take effect Tuesday, declining the Biden administration’s effort to halt it while litigation continues. The Department of Justice first filed its lawsuit against Texas to prevent enforcement of the law in January.

While Justices Sonia Sotomayor, Ketanji Brown Jackson, and Elene Kagan dissented in the decision, Justices Amy Coney Barrett and Brett Kavanaugh concurred. Barrett wrote the following in her concurrence.

So far as I know, this Court has never reviewed the decision of a court of appeals to enter – or not enter – an administrative stay…. I would not get into the business.

Texas’s motion for a stay pending appeal was fully briefed in the Fifth Circuit by March 5, almost two weeks ago…. Merits briefing on Texas’s challenge to the District Court’s injunction of S. B. 4 is currently underway. If a decision does not issue soon, the applicants may return to this Court.

The ruling says that Texas can arrest illegal migrants – for now – while litigation continues, so it may or may not be a permanent condition. However, we should be grateful for Texas fighting the fight against illegal immigration. It is obvious that President Joe Biden and his administration is purposely allowing America to be invaded by foreign nationals.

It does not seem to matter to them that terrorists are among the millions of people massing at and crossing the southern border. Anyone who votes for Joe Biden to give him a second term as President has intentionally shut their eyes to the damage being done to America.

I believe that if Donald Trump does not win the presidential election that America as we know it is gone. It will help if Republicans could also take the Senate and the House because Democratic-controlled House would simply impeach Trump once again and a Democratic-Senate would vote to remove him from office.
