Republican governors and lawmakers have supported Texas Gov. Greg Abbott as the state adds more concertina wire after SCOTUS gave border patrol permission to cut the wire.

“James Madison, Alexander Hamilton, and other visionaries who wrote the Constitution foresaw that States should not be left to the mercy of a lawless president who does nothing to stop external threats like cartels smuggling millions of illegal immigrants across the border,” stated Abbott. “That is why the Framers included both Article IV, § 4, which promises that the federal government ‘shall protect each [State] against invasion’ and Article I, § 10, Clause 3, which acknowledges the ‘the States’ sovereign interest in protecting their borders.’ Arizona v. United States, 567 U.S. 387, 419 (2012)(Scalia, J., dissenting).”

Abbott isn’t even defying the SCOTUS order. SCOTUS vacated an injunction from the 5th Circuit that prevented border agents from cutting the wire except in the case of a medical emergency.

The order does not say Texas cannot add more wire. The order does not say that Texas has to give the border patrol access to the wire.

The border is a disaster that continues to spiral out of control, both in terms of people and deadly fentanyl traffic. This is not a partisan issue. This is a national security issue. This is a common sense issue. This is an American issue.

Governor @GregAbbott_TX is doing what @POTUS won’t.

By refusing to act, President Biden is inviting cartels, illegal drugs, and human trafficking into the United States.

We must secure the southern border. https://t.co/K1tAy6pE4e

.@GregAbbott_TX is exactly right to invoke Texas’ constitutional authority to defend itself.

The Biden Administration has created a national security crisis and put Americans in danger. Their failure is an unconstitutional dereliction of duty.

Virginia stands with Texas. @GregAbbott_TX is doing the job Joe Biden and his border czar refuse to do to secure our border.

The Biden administration has turned every state into a border state. We must stop the flow of fentanyl, save lives, and secure our southern border. https://t.co/XaPu2RqJBP

If the Constitution really made states powerless to defend themselves against an invasion, it wouldn’t have been ratified in the first place and Texas would have never joined the union when it did.

TX is upholding the law while Biden is flouting it.

I stand with Governor Abbott. The House will do everything in its power to back him up.
