Texas Governor Defies Biden and Vows to Protect Border Amidst Federal Friction
In a bold defiance against the Biden administration, Texas Governor Greg Abbott asserted his commitment to safeguarding the state’s border, accusing President Joe Biden of neglecting his duty to enforce immigration laws.
Background Clash:
Texas and the White House engaged in a tense standoff over the state’s utilization of border barriers, particularly razor wire, as a deterrent for illegal crossings. A recent Supreme Court ruling permitted the Biden administration to deploy Border Patrol to remove the razor wire.
Texas Stands Firm:
Governor Abbott issued a robust statement affirming Texas’ constitutional right to self-defense if the federal government shirks its responsibilities. The statement emphasized that the federal government had shattered the agreement between the United States and the states, contending that President Biden’s refusal to enforce existing immigration laws amounted to a violation of his constitutional duties.
Continued Resistance:
Recent footage within the past 48 hours showcased the Texas National Guard persistently fortifying border barriers and adding additional razor wire, showcasing the state’s unyielding stance.
Governors Unite:
Expressing solidarity, several governors rallied behind Texas, including Florida’s Ron DeSantis, South Dakota’s Kristi Noem, Virginia’s Glenn Youngkin, and Oklahoma’s Kevin Stitt.
Legal Standing:
Governor Abbott asserted that Article IV, Section 4 of the U.S. Constitution guarantees protection against invasion to every state in the union. He argued that Biden’s failure to enforce this provision allows him to invoke Article I, Section 10, Clause 3, which restricts state action “unless actually invaded, or in such imminent Danger as will not admit delay.”

Biden’s Border Challenges:
Under Biden’s administration, the southern border encountered a staggering 2,475,669 million illegal crossings, marking the highest number ever recorded.
Abbott’s Declaration:
In Governor Abbott’s concluding statement, he invoked the foresight of constitutional architects like James Madison and Alexander Hamilton, asserting that the Constitution envisioned states protected from a lawless president indifferent to external threats, such as cartels smuggling millions of illegal immigrants across the border.
