Good take on it here.

Demonrats are bound and determined to destroy this country!!!

Why do you guys do this to yourselves?

There is nothing good about a Democrat today.

There is nothing good about a Democrat today.

You can say that again.

It's already been written. We're just along for the ride.

I see what ya did there. Lol

WASHINGTON, D.C. – 25 Republican governors released the following joint statement in support of Texas Governor Greg Abbott and Texas’ constitutional right to self-defense.

The statement comes as the Biden Administration continues to attack Texas and refuses to take action or responsibility for the crisis at the Southern border.

“President Biden and his Administration have left Americans and our country completely vulnerable to unprecedented illegal immigration pouring across the Southern border. Instead of upholding the rule of law and securing the border, the Biden Administration has attacked and sued Texas for stepping up to protect American citizens from historic levels of illegal immigrants, deadly drugs like fentanyl, and terrorists entering our country.

“We stand in solidarity with our fellow Governor, Greg Abbott, and the State of Texas in utilizing every tool and strategy, including razor wire fences, to secure the border. We do it in part because the Biden Administration is refusing to enforce immigration laws already on the books and is illegally allowing mass parole across America of migrants who entered our country illegally.

“The authors of the U.S. Constitution made clear that in times like this, states have a right of self-defense, under Article 4, Section 4 and Article 1, Section 10, Clause 3 of the U.S. Constitution. Because the Biden Administration has abdicated its constitutional compact duties to the states, Texas has every legal justification to protect the sovereignty of our states and our nation.”

Signatories include: Governor Kay Ivey (AL), Governor Mike Dunleavy (AK), Governor Sarah Sanders (AR), Governor Ron DeSantis (FL), Governor Brian Kemp (GA), Governor Brad Little (ID), Governor Eric Holcomb (IN), Governor Kim Reynolds (IA), Governor Jeff Landry (LA), Governor Tate Reeves (MS), Governor Mike Parson (MO), Governor Greg Gianforte (MT), Governor Jim Pillen (NE), Governor Joe Lombardo (NV), Governor Chris Sununu (NH), Governor Doug Burgum (ND), Governor Mike DeWine (OH), Governor Kevin Stitt (OK), Governor Henry McMaster (SC), Governor Kristi Noem (SD), Governor Bill Lee (TN), Governor Spencer Cox (UT), Governor Glenn Youngkin (VA), Governor Jim Justice (WV), and Governor Mark Gordon (WY).

Good for Texas!

I'm sure that the current administration has already contacted the Cartels to tell them where to divert the hoards where there is no wire.

Heard on news today that Biden gave an ultimatum to Abbott by tomorrow.

Guess we will get to see one of two things.....either a confrontation or one of them will back down. At least we'll get to see which one has the bigger cajones.

It is kind of heart-warming to see Texas stand up to the feds, who are failing to secure the border.

But it's contrary to law, I believe the Court has ruled. I have to come down on the side of the rule of law.

Probably contacted them by Pony Express!

Sound like something Hunter Biden would say. Isn’t he a lawyer too?? WHY do some people even think the law matters??? It’s like 2 sets of rules. Ones for lawyers and Democrats and Clintons and Bidens then they’re the rest of us. Personally. I’m sick of the = So called law in this country.

It is good to see Texas take a stand, we all should.

Even though the court ruled in favor of the feds, I'm not sure their ruling should be trusted. If it goes against the constitution the law is unjust and should not be followed. The law is becoming a tool for these rat politicians to do as they please.

James, have you read the ruling? I've been too busy with work and school. What was the reason given for siding with the Feds on this?

Did you bother to watch the video?

Or read the SCOTUS ruling?

The cliff notes,

Feds can cut. Nothing about Texas adding more wire or controlling their own border.

So, the ball is in Brandon's court.

Abbott has yet to stop anyone from cutting anything. So he's just piling on more wire as he wasn't told he couldn't.

Now if Brandon federalizes the guard or sends in the wire cutters the escalation is all on him.

Of course he could just cut and Abbott could put more back.

In the meantime half the states in the union have come down on the side of Texas, we wait to see if the bluff gets called. And if so does Abbott raise the stakes?

Oh and Abbott is extending the wire onto private property. Making free wire available to property owners.

IMO, playing a clean game of chicken. Who is going to blink?

Too bad they can't catch an illegal with a firearm. I would think that doing so would really add to the invasion argument.
