The Supreme Court Has Itself to Blame for Texas Defying Its Orders

One of the maddening and self-contradictory aspects of conservative propaganda on this issue is that Republicans frequently cite metrics that indicate just how closed the border is, as if they demonstrated the opposite. Earlier this month, House Republican Oversight Committee Chair James Comer released a statement condemning Biden's "open border policies" while announcing that "Fiscal Year 2022 set records for the number of arrests of illegal border crossers, the number of migrants who died making the journey, the number of dangerous narcotics seized, and even the number of suspected terrorists arrested trying to illegally cross the border." 

The reason that migrants are being arrested and dying on the way, and that drugs are being seized, is that the border is not open.
