This week, the Supreme Court sided with federal agents to remove razor wire put in place by Texas along the Rio Grande. The state is using wire and state agents to block Border Patrol from accessing a section of the border in Eagle Pass. Homeland Security is demanding access to the area by Friday, but Gov. Greg Abbott is doubling down. Laura Barrón-López discussed the dispute with Stephen Vladeck.

    It sure would be nice if Democrats were as committed to doing good as Republicans are to doing evil.

      But that’s the problem. Democrats aren’t heroes. They’re just regular politicians trying to climb the ladder and maybe do a good thing for people they care about personally. They stand in opposition to evil, sometimes, but that’s not the same as actively trying to make things better for everyone. You could count on one hand the number of leaders we have actively working towards a better world, and most of them would be considered crackpots.

      Can you explain how managing legal immigration is evil? I’m sure Texas would be happy to bus them all to your house. I trust you have the resources to take care of them.
