The border battle continues…
In the wake of the Supreme Court’s ruling that empowered the Biden Administration to tear down Texas Governor Greg Abbott’s protective razor wire, GOP governors across the country are stepping up to make it clear they stand with the Lone Star State and its right to self-defense.
“Florida Gov. @RonDeSantis, Virginia Gov. @GlennYoungkin, Oklahoma Gov. @GovStitt, & South Dakota Gov. @KristiNoem all announced today that they stand with TX and Gov. @GregAbbott_TX in TX’s border dispute with the federal government. Red states banding together re: border crisis,” Fox News border correspondent Bill Melugin shared on X.

“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. FL will keep assisting Texas with personnel and assets,” Florida Governor Ron DeSantis shared on X.

Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin also shared a message of support for Texas.
“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.”
