The Supreme Court on Friday handed the Biden administration a major victory on a key immigration case – ruling that GOP-led states do not have standing to challenge a policy narrowing federal immigration enforcement.

If the States don’t have standing, who does? Is SCOTUS saying the feds are omnipotent?
This has always been the impediment to proper border enforcement - it’s completely under the power of the federal government, which is conveniently located far from the border. The border states have never had a say.
Do it anyway
There’s no precedent so let’s not make one.
Did the states go directly to SCOTUS or try in the lower courts first?
One thing they could all do is band together, take up the Tennessee lawsuit that was filed over Medicare payments, modify it and argue that bidens policies have created an unnecessary and harmful financial burden on their taxpayers.
But that ain’t gonna happen since most of the Governors and legislatures are RINOs and don’t care.

How can the states not have standing when they are affected by the matter at hand?
I would have to say, YES.
Funny, when Pres Trump was in office, Dem states did whatever they wanted.
Never the other way around.
And just like that, the US is over.
Tens of millions of Protected Class aliens will flood in uninhibited and simply lay claim to everything we have, cuz Da Soopremes said so.
I can see this.
Now, if states want to enforce what is federal law, and the feds forbid it - that is absurd (just as honestly, “sanctuary” cities etc should have the leaders arrested, as it violates fed law). That is largely what has been happening for decades.
Apparently here, the feds are sort of narrowing the definition. So states etc have no more standing to say they must be enforced.
“If the States don’t have standing, who does? Is SCOTUS saying the feds are omnipotent?”
Read Justice Thomas’ concurring opinion for an explanation.
Sounds to me like the SCOTUS assholes are saying we have no responsibility to accept foreign invaders into our state. When it comes to statelines, we have more friggin’ “STANDING” than you can shake a stick at. The Feds have no standing to tell the states how many foreign azzhos we are required to accept into our state to support and sponsor their illegal criminal azzes.
Pres Trump proved that it is completely under the Executive Branch.
Which is why he was able to do so many things. Imagine what could have happened if, in his first two years, Republicans actually helped him.
You will be invaded, your families will be preyed upon & there is nothing you can do about it.
8-1?
We still have Alito.
They would have the “standing” they need if they got wise and seceded from this fascist conglomerate.
Aiding and abetting the dismantling of the American rule of law.
Leaving the United States may be the only way to survive.
The founders could have never imagined that the federal govt would allow the mess we have today.
