Abbott’s Razor Wire And Bouys

The Department of Justice is planning legal action against Texas in response to horrific reports from the southern border. A 4-year-old girl passed out in 100-degree heat after she was pushed back toward Mexico by Texas National Guard personnel. A pregnant woman became trapped in razor wire and had a miscarriage. A state trooper said he was under orders not to give migrants any water. These incidents stem from Texas Gov. Greg Abbott’s “Operation Lone Star.”  

Abbott has had barriers of buoys and razor wire placed in the Rio Grande to deter migrants from crossing. But governors cannot act unilaterally on immigration because the federal government has authority over our borders. The Supreme Court affirmed in 2012 that immigration is a federal matter, noting that states “may not pursue policies that undermine federal law.”
