Introduction
As an avid follower of both politics and news in general, I found myself quite invested in the recent decision by the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) regarding the border policy put forth by the Biden administration. The case, brought by Texas and several other states, challenged the administration’s decision to end the Migrant Protection Protocols (MPP), a program that required asylum-seekers to stay in Mexico while their claims were being processed. The case ultimately ended in Biden’s favor, with the court ruling that the states did not have standing to bring the case. In this article, I’ll break down the decision and what it could mean for the future.
Texas’ Argument
Texas’ primary argument in the case was that the end of the MPP had placed an unfair burden on their state due to the influx of migrants crossing the border. They argued that the increased strain on their resources was not only costly but also put their citizens at risk. This argument is not a new one; Texas has long been a state that sees a significant amount of border traffic and has taken a hardline stance on the issue.
The court’s decision
Despite Texas’ arguments, the Supreme Court ultimately ruled that the states did not have standing to bring the case. This decision means that the court did not even take on the merits of the burden that states have due to immigration. Essentially, the court determined that Texas and the other states did not have the legal right to challenge the federal government’s immigration policies in this case.
What does this mean for the future?
While this decision is undoubtedly a win for the Biden administration, it is unlikely to be the last time border policy is challenged in court. The issue is a divisive one that has long been a political lightning rod. It’s also important to note that the court’s decision did not recognize the burden that immigration places on states. Texas is being burdened by thousands of people coming in every single day, and without legal recourse, they may need to try another way to get the administration to enforce the border.
