Just like under the Obama administration, Texas has taken the lead in suing the current White House this time over the Biden-Harris open-border policies.
One of the lawsuits centers around the threat of COVID. Ira Mehlman with the Federation for American Immigration Reform calls it a valid case.
“Here you have people coming into the United States illegally, many of them are infected with COVID. They ve been tested and in many cases released even after they tested positive.”
