The fight between Texas and the federal government over the control of the US-Mexico border has further intensified, as the far-right, racist, anti-immigration extremism campaign further reverberates through the country. A clash over razor wire on the Texas border has led to Biden promising to “shut down the border” and an escalating standoff between the federal and state governments.
Todd Miller, an author and journalist specializing in border issues, explains the standoff and how decades of bipartisan policies have led to the grave humanitarian crisis along the U.S.-Mexico border.
