I understand the court says he can But that’s not a reason in itself to do anything without some other motive. why does the Biden administration desire to cut down the wire? The wire acts as a deterant and helps the federal government, why is this a bad thing?Because the Supreme Court says he can.
You have it completely backwards. Read this and try to come up to speed.
Supreme Court says Biden administration can remove razor wire that Texas installed along border

There are a number of reasons, not all of which are applicable to every situation:I understand the court says he can But that’s not a reason in itself to do anything without some other motive. why does the Biden administration desire to cut down the wire?

Then they shouldn’t try to get past it. They should go to a port of entry. That’s why the wire is there.Because it can cause serious injury to those trying to get past it.

Cops allegedly beaten by rowdy migrant mob near Times Square — with suspects later freed without bail: horrifying video
Shocking video captured the moment a migrant mob pounded a pair of cops near Times Square over the weekend — but the busted cowardly suspects were still released back on the street without ba…nypost.com
Makes no difference in what I posted. So it was another illegal immigrant or asylum seeker that kicked the police. Actually it was severalVenezuelan Man charged with attacking police in Times Square, vilified in Trump ad, was misidentified, DA says
In the weeks after the brawl, the Manhattan district attorney acknowledged that some of the people initially accused of kicking police were found to have played a less significant role in the melee than previously thought.
We really don’t know much about how much crime illegal immigrants commit because it’s not officially kept up with.Apparently Abbott is trying to make sure that illegal aliens will not sneak into Texas, boost state GDP, and lower the crime rate.
No wonder he's horrified at the prospect.
That's the thing. Texas does keep those numbers. And it turns out that illegal immigrants are significantly less likely to commit crimes than are native- born Americans, while in the United States.We really don’t know much about how much crime illegal immigrants commit because it’s not officially kept up with.
Since Texas is the only state that records and keeps the immigration statuses of those arrested, we can’t make a direct apples‐to‐apples comparison between Texas and other states (every state should record and keep this information so we can answer this important question). It could be that illegal immigrants in Texas are the most law‐abiding illegal immigrant population in the country – or the least law‐abiding. Until other states start recording and keeping the data, we won’t know for sure.That's the thing. Texas does keep those numbers.

Abstract
The study found that undocumented immigrants had substantially lower crime rates than native-born citizens and legal immigrants across a range of felony offenses. Relative to undocumented immigrants, U.S.-born citizens are over 2 times more likely to be arrested for violent crimes, 2.5 times more likely to be arrested for drug crimes, and over 4 times more likely to be arrested for property crimes. In addition, the proportion of arrests involving undocumented immigrants in Texas was relatively stable or decreasing over this period. The differences between U.S.-born citizens and undocumented immigrants are robust to using alternative estimates of the broader undocumented population, alternate classifications of those counted as “undocumented” at arrest and substituting misdemeanors or convictions as measures of crime.

I find it hard to believe that it makes much of a difference. What evidence do you have for such an assumption?Since Texas is the only state that records and keeps the immigration statuses of those arrested, we can’t make a direct apples‐to‐apples comparison between Texas and other states (every state should record and keep this information so we can answer this important question).
Exactly where I got the informationI find it hard to believe that it makes much of a difference. What evidence do you have for such an assumption?
The data show that illegal immigrants are more law-abiding than native-born Americans. Unless you can show that Texans are more likely to be criminals than residents of other states, I don't think you have much to go on.
A more comprehensive study by the conservative Cato Institute finds data support the same conclusion nationwide.

Are NY and Chicago’s economies being boosted right now? If illegal immigrants are such a positive factor what are these mayors complaining about? They should be asking Texas to send more.From your source:
CONCLUSION
Legal and illegal immigrants are less likely to be incarcerated than natives.
Regardless of whether the other data supports evidence from Texas, we're talking about Greg Abbott's fear of illegal immigrants coming to Texas, boosting the economy and reducing the crime rate.
The survey was published in 2020 and looked back. Joe's invitation has brought in criminals and mental patients from many countries.That's the thing. Texas does keep those numbers.

Yes, it seems like they are...Are NY and Chicago’s economies being boosted right now?
Housing, mostly. Lots of jobs for them, but not enough housing. Very typical in NY and Chicago.If illegal immigrants are such a positive factor what are these mayors complaining about?
You think it's a bad thing that the Border Patrol is catching more illegal entries now, since Biden let them focus on enforcement? How do you figure that?Here are up-to-date CBP arrests so you can see the numbers under both the Trump administration AND Biden administration.
