45th President Trump, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and the governors of at least 25 states have announced their support of Texas and Governor Greg Abbott in their fight against the Biden Regime’s open-borders policies. The budding border showdown comes after the Supreme Court, including Justices John Roberts and Amy Coney Barrett, ruled to allow the feds to remove razor wire placed along the border by the Texas National Guard, and after Texas seized a key section of the border, forcing the feds out.
The border battle in Texas has effectively split the United States down partisan lines, with Republican Governors coming out in support of sealing the Texas border, and Democrat Governors apparently happy with surrendering any semblance of state and national sovereignty that still remains in modern America.
As shown in the map below, different Governors have shown support in various ways, with some merely issuing statements and others deploying personnel.
Notably, both Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis are listed among the top supporters of Texas and Governor Greg Abbott. The issue of border security is one that many have hoped will unite the Republican Party behind President Trump in 2024, an election cycle that’s increasingly being seen as the last shot that Americans have to do something about the southern border before the problem becomes insurmountable if it hasn’t already.
Despite the Supreme Court’s decision, Texas officials like Governor Greg Abbott and AG Ken Paxton say they’ll continue securing the border, and the Texas National Guard has already begun installing more razor wire.
“The Supreme Court’s temporary order allows Biden to continue his illegal effort to aid the foreign invasion of America,” Paxton said.
“The destruction of Texas’s border barriers will not help enforce the law or keep American citizens safe,” he added. “This fight is not over, and I look forward to defending our state’s sovereignty.”
In his own statement, Texas Governor Greg Abbott called out Joe Biden and his regime for their deliberate failure to enforce immigration laws and for the violation of their oath of office. He also cited that he’s already declared the state to be under an invasion, meaning that Texas has a right to self-defense, regardless of the opinions of four female judges and John Roberts.
Read Governor Abbott’s Statement Below:
Despite having been put on notice in a series of letters—one of which I delivered to him by hand—President Biden has ignored Texas’s demand that he perform his constitutional duties.
- President Biden has violated his oath to faithfully execute immigration laws enacted by Congress. Instead of prosecuting immigrants for the federal crime of illegal entry, President Biden has sent his lawyers into federal courts to sue Texas for taking action to secure the border.
- President Biden has instructed his agencies to ignore federal statutes that mandate the detention of illegal immigrants. The effect is to illegally allow their en masse parole into the United States.
- By wasting taxpayer dollars to tear open Texas’s border security infrastructure, President Biden has enticed illegal immigrants away from the 28 legal entry points along this State’s southern border— bridges where nobody drowns—and into the dangerous waters of the Rio Grande.
The failure of the Biden Administration to fulfill the duties imposed by Article IV, § 4 has triggered Article I, § 10, Clause 3, which reserves to this State the right of self-defense. For these reasons, I have already declared an invasion under Article I, § 10, Clause 3 to invoke Texas’s constitutional authority to defend and protect itself. That authority is the supreme law of the land and supersedes any federal statutes to the contrary. The Texas National Guard, the Texas Department of Public Safety, and other Texas personnel are acting on that authority, as well as state law, to secure the Texas border.
