Editor’s note: Yes, you read that right. The Biden administration and recently impeached DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas have gone out of their way to remove barriers to illegal immigration. Among other things, they are actually removing border barbed wire, leaving, even welding gates open and shepherding in national gate crashers. The Supreme Court recently permitted them to keep doing this, actively opposed by Gov. Abbott of Texas and at least 25 states. Now U.S. Rep. Gaetz (Rep., FL) has introduced a bill to prohibit them from removing barriers.
Excerpt from Florida Politics Newsletter:
The Biden administration angered many immigration hard-liners when it took down barbed wire fencing Texas installed at the border. Now, Rep. Matt Gaetz wants to outlaw the federal government taking such action.
The Panhandle Republican filed the House legislation after the Supreme Court sided with the administration and said federal officials could take down the razor wire. Gaetz wants to address that in statute and filed a companion bill to one already introduced in the Senate by U.S. Sen. J.D. Vance of Ohio.
