****Texas has 25 states supporting it against Biden!
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.
