I recently discussed a border spat playing out at the Supreme Court, which pits the Biden administration against the state of Texas over concertina-wire fences placed along 29 miles of the Rio Grande in Maverick County, Texas.
As originally implemented, state troopers and state National Guard troops were sent to the Southwest border to assist overwhelmed Border Patrol agents in catching illegal migrants and stopping drugs and other contraband from entering the country.
The crisis at our southern border continues to escalate because of Biden Administration policies that refuse to secure the border and invite illegal immigration.
Border Patrol's ability to view this portion of the border is now limited to a narrow sliver from a single surveillance camera located outside of the newly fenced area.
Texas relies in part on Border Patrol to tell it what Border Patrol needs in terms of surveillance because they have no access to Border Patrol's cameras.
When the Park was closed, Texas National Guard officers suggested alternative locations for Border Patrol to set up their mobile surveillance equipment, one of which was a mere 400 feet further downriver and was described as "Better" for the purpose of reconnaissance because of its higher elevation.
The Texas Department of Military Affairs has termed those claims "Wholly inaccurate", contending instead that: "At the time that Border Patrol requested access, the drownings had occurred, Mexican authorities were recovering the bodies, and Border Patrol expressed these facts to the TMD personnel on site".
