Another victory for the Trump Administration’s border policy:
It’s being called a “major victory” for President Trump by both the LA Times and Politico. The Supreme Court voted 5-4 to hand Trump a win on border wall spending.
President Donald Trump scored a major victory at the Supreme Court on Friday, as the justices lifted a lower court order blocking a key part of his plan to expand the border wall with Mexico.
The Justice Department had asked the justices to stay a pair of rulings an Oakland-based federal judge issued in May and June blocking Trump’s plan to use about $2.5 billion in military construction funds for wall projects in California, Arizona and New Mexico.
The Administration plans to build at least 100 miles of border barrier.
A border wall is only the start of what’s needed to actually regain control of our borders. E-Verify, asylum law reform and beefed up border patrols are also key components, and we need to see more effort from the Trump Administration on these items. But actually building the promised wall is at least a start.
