Former President and 2024 GOP frontrunner Donald Trump shared a message of support on TRUTH Social on Thursday for Texas Governor Greg Abbott who is currently locked in a border battle with the Biden Administration.
“When I was President, we had the most secure Border in History. Joe Biden has surrendered our Border, and is aiding and abetting a massive Invasion of millions of Illegal Migrants into the United States,” Trump declared on Truth Social. “Instead of fighting to protect our Country from this onslaught, Biden is, unbelievably, fighting to tie the hands of Governor Abbott and the State of Texas, so that the Invasion continues unchecked. In the face of this National Security, Public Safety, and Public Health Catastrophe, Texas has rightly invoked the Invasion Clause of the Constitution, and must be given full support to repel the Invasion.”
“We encourage all willing States to deploy their guards to Texas to prevent the entry of Illegals, and to remove them back across the Border. All Americans should support the commonsense measures by Texas authorities to protect the Safety, Security, and Sovereignty of Texas, and of the American people,” he went on. “When I am President, on Day One, instead of fighting Texas, I will work hand in hand with Governor Abbott and other Border States to Stop the Invasion, Seal the Border, and Rapidly Begin the Largest Domestic Deportation Operation in History. Those Biden has let in should not get comfortable because they will be going home.”
25 Republican governors have pledged to back Abbott’s fight against Biden’s lawlessness at the border.
“Half of America joins Texas in asserting our constitutional right of self-defense under Art. 1, Sec. 10, stemming from Joe Biden’s refusal to enforce immigration laws. His actions have caused an unprecedented invasion that we must defend against,” Abbott shared on X.
