"SCOTUS allows federal agents to cut razor wire Texas installed".
Is SCOTUS going to provide security for the federal agents who DO remove the barricades? Or will the Federal Agents stand alone in the desert with a pair of bolt cutters?
I heard the cartels make $15 billion a year smuggling people, so a creative thinker might find the most violent one and pay them $20 billion to seal the border. I think people would get the message real quick the border is closed and you're safer staying home. This would also be a good way to make our Government actually care about dealing with the cartels.
You can make evil serve the great good. Consider a certain percentage of people traveling across Mexico and other Countries to come here will die or be human trafficked or encounter other terrible outcomes. If a couple hundred or thousand people get get massacred by cartels spectacularly enough it will discourage millions from making the journey and stay home and that will ultimately save more lives than it costs. I call that immoral math.
Similarly if we tested the entire world for HIV in 1985 and tossed everyone with it into an isolation camp or a furnace we might have killed half a million people and violated the rights of the whole planet, but we would have saved about 35 million from the grave. Evil? Sure, but in the final reckoning way less evil than what did happen that has killed 35 million and counting.
It isn't mutiny if they are refusing to follow unlawful orders. It is simply upholding their oath. Currently, the entire Border Patrol is guilty of violating their oaths by following the illegal orders.

Texas should get permission from Mexico to move the razor wire to their side of the border and out of fed jurisdiction. Just thinking out loud here.

I've never heard that idea before. Definitely interesting.

Maybe it's time for the BP to mutiny

OK :)
