| 0:29.8 | So just how committed is the Biden administration to an open border? They're so committed to an |
| 0:34.3 | open border that they're now trying to stop the state of Texas from actually enforcing the border as we know. |
| 0:39.6 | The state of Texas tried to erect, for example, barbed wire fencing in the middle of a Texas state park to prevent illegal immigrants from simply rushing over the border and into the interior of the United States. |
| 0:49.9 | The White House then ordered Border Patrol to go in and take down some of that fencing. |
| 0:54.7 | The White House has also attempted to now sue the state of Texas to stop the state of Texas |
| 0:59.3 | from passing a law that would criminalize illegal entry into the state of Texas, which would |

| 1:36.7 | and deporting non-citizens on its own, rejecting an emergency appeal from the Biden administration |
| 1:40.7 | that argued that states can't interfere with federal authority over the border. The court declined to block Texas laws, known as SB4. That makes illegal border crossing a state |
| 1:49.3 | crime and then allows state officials to conduct arrests and deportations. The Supreme Court was |
| 1:54.0 | considering whether, in fact, the supremacy clause meant that the federal government had basically |
| 1:57.8 | occupied that field of law and states could not intervene in any way, shape, or form. The Supreme Court decided, no, it turns out the state of Texas |
| 2:04.7 | can criminalize the illegal entry into the state of Texas by illegal immigrants and then attempt |
