Americans are clearly awakening to the fact that President Joe Biden is violating the law and betraying his oath to “preserve, protect and defend” the Constitution. And Texas Governor Greg Abbott has just formally confirmed that’s the case. 

In an extraordinary statement issued yesterday, the governor decried the President’s failure to fulfill his constitutional responsibility to protect the States against invasion. And he affirmed the States’ sovereign interest in protecting their borders.

On these bases, the Texas governor is now directly challenging not only President Biden, but the U.S. Supreme Court which ruled earlier this week that the States cannot defend their international borders – even when the federal government refuses to do so. 

Congress has, for far too long, been an enabler of this open border travesty. Now, it must support Governor Abbott and secure the border, once and for all.
