The Biden administration ended it in March 2021.<\/p>\n<p>Texas is not represented by the attorneys general. They are from Alabama (Arizona), Arkansas, Indiana and Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana Mississippi, Montana Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina and West Virginia.<\/p>\n<p>A federal judge in Illinois invalidated the rule last year. Later, the judge rejected the Republican request to intervene. He stated that the request from the state officials was too late and that the Chicago-based 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in June 2022 agreed with the lower court\u2019s ruling.<\/p>\n<p>The case didn\u2019t focus on whether the rule was constitutional but on whether the Biden administration followed the proper rule-making procedures when it revoked it. This policy made it difficult to obtain permanent residence for immigrants. \u201cgreen card,\u201d If they have used public benefits, such as Medicaid, housing coupons, or food stamps.<\/p>\n<p>Two months after Biden was elected, the Department of Homeland Security annulled the rule in March 2021.

Many Republican states sought to intervene in an appeal that challenged the rule.<\/p>\n<p>In June 2022, Chief Justice John Roberts wrote\u00a0a concurrence joined by Justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, and Neil Gorsuch to dismiss that challenge.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt has become clear that this mare\u2019s nest could stand in the way of our reaching the question presented on which we granted certiorari, or at the very least, complicate our resolution of that question,\u201d Roberts wrote that time.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen this and other suits challenging the Rule were first brought in 2019, the Government defended it. And when multiple lower courts, including the District Court here, found the Rule unlawful, the Government appealed those decisions. After a change in administrations, though, the Government reversed course and opted to voluntarily dismiss those appeals, leaving in place the relief already entered.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4970765\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/img.theepochtimes.com\/assets\/uploads\/2023\/01\/09\/Biden-tours-border-GettyImages-1246096680-1200x800.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy size-medium wp-image-4970765\" src=\"https:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/assets\/themes\/eet\/images\/white.png\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Biden-tours-border-GettyImages-1246096680-600x400-1.jpg\" alt=\"Biden tours border\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\"   style=\"display:none\"><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-4970765\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Biden-tours-border-GettyImages-1246096680-600x400-1.jpg\" alt=\"Biden tours border\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" \/><\/noscript><\/figcaption><\/a> President Joe Biden speaks with a member of the Border Patrol as they walk along the U.S.\u2013Mexico border fence in El Paso, Texas, on Jan. 8, 2023.
