More than two dozen states expressed support for Texas Gov. Greg Abbott after he refused to kowtow to the Biden administration’s bullying about the ongoing border crisis.
The Supreme Court ruled on Jan. 22 that the federal border officials could cut razor wire installed by the Texas National Guard along the Rio Grande if they felt it impeded their ability to do their jobs. Abbott announced on Wednesday, Jan. 24, that he would uphold the law by allowing his state’s National Guard to continue their operations, especially in high-traffic illegal crossing areas like Eagle Pass, Texas.
He emphasized that the Lone Star State has a constitutional right to defend itself against the 10 million migrants who have illegally crossed into the U.S. under President Joe Biden.
“The federal government has broken the compact between the United States and the States. The Executive Branch of the United States has a constitutional duty to enforce federal laws protecting States, including immigration laws on the books right now,” Abbott wrote. “President Biden has refused to enforce those laws and has even violated them. The result is that he has smashed records for illegal immigration.”
His declaration received an outpouring of support from Republicans, including former President Donald Trump, House Speaker Mike Johnson, former presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy, several members of Congress, and more than a dozen state leaders.
Wyoming
“Wyoming stands in solidarity with Governor Abbott and the State of Texas in utilizing every tool and strategy to secure the border and protect American citizens,” Gov. Mark Gordon wrote on Jan. 25. “We are all border states now.”
Iowa
Iowa supports Texas’ border fight, Gov. Kim Reynolds confirmed on Jan. 25.
“When the federal government fails, states step in. Iowa sent the Iowa National Guard and State Troopers down to the border last year to stop this invasion. Iowa stands with Texas,” she wrote on X.
Reynolds deployed 109 soldiers from the Iowa National Guard to aid Texas’ border operations last August.
Arkansas
Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders announced on Jan. 25 that she backs Abbott’s decision to uphold the law in Eagle Pass, Texas.
“If President Biden won’t defend us, states will have to defend themselves. Arkansas stands with Texas,” she wrote on X.
In the summer of 2023, The Natural State Republican deployed the Arkansas National Guard to aid the Lone Star State’s mission to “combat illegal immigration, drug trafficking, and human trafficking at the border due to the failed policies of the Biden Administration.”
“President Biden’s failure at our southern border puts the entire country at risk. States must now step up where the President has failed to repel illegals, fight the cartels, and stop human and drug trafficking,” Sanders said in a statement.
Montana
“Montana stands with Texas,” Montana Gov. Greg Gianforte said on Jan. 25.
Gianforte joined Abbott in raising alarms about the border crisis when Biden took office in 2021.
“Since [Biden] took office, more than 10 million illegal immigrants have crossed our open southern border. That’s 10x the population of Montana,” he wrote in another post.
Idaho
Gov. Brad Little said Texas and Abbott have his state’s support as they continue to secure the border, fight fentanyl, and combat human trafficking.”
Idaho will continue to step up, even when [Biden] won’t,” Little wrote on X on Jan. 25. “The lawless southern border threatens the lives of all Americans, including Idahoans.”
