Here Are All The States Standing With Texas Against Biden’s Border Assault

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.”

Arizona GOP Chairman Resigns Amid Kari Lake Bribery Allegations

The chairman said he was ’set up' by Ms. Lake’s team. Ms. Lake’s campaign denies his claims.

The chairman of the Arizona Republican Party said he resigned from his role on Jan. 23 after a recording of him was leaked that apparently showed him offering U.S. Senate candidate Kari Lake money to stay out of that race.

In his resignation statement, Jeff DeWit suggested that Ms. Lake’s team allegedly secretly recorded their conversation before leaking it to the media. He also accused her team of threatening to release more recordings, which he described as being taken out of context, although he provided few details.
“I said things I regret, but I realize when hearing Lake’s recording that I was set up,” Mr. DeWit said in a statement. “I believe she orchestrated this entire situation to have control over the state party and it is obvious from the recording that she crafted her performance responses with the knowledge that she was recording it, intending to use this recording later to portray herself as a hero.”

He said the recording and release of the audio was tantamount to a “deceptive tactic” and said it was a “selectively edited audio recording.”

“This is all such a distraction to that mission that I am doing as Ms. Lake wishes and am stepping down as Chairman of the Arizona Republican Party,” he said.

Going further, Mr. DeWit said his relationship with Ms. Lake was “based on friendship” and the “conversation that is now being scrutinized was an open, unguarded exchange between friends in the living room of her house,” according to the statement.

“I genuinely believed I was offering a helpful perspective to someone I considered a friend,” he said.

“I received an ultimatum from Lake’s team: resign today or face the release of a new, more damaging recording. I am truly unsure of its contents, but considering our numerous past open conversations as friends, I have decided not to take the risk.”

A spokesperson for the Lake campaign released a statement on Jan. 23 saying the “tape speaks for itself” and noted that Ms. Lake “rejected DeWit’s multiple attempts to offer her money and corporate board seats in exchange for Kari not running for public office.”

No one from her campaign “threatened or blackmailed DeWit,” the campaign said in the statement. The campaign didn’t respond to claims that he was secretly recorded or how the audio reached the media.

Representatives of Ms. Lake didn’t respond by press time to a request by The Epoch Times for comment.

The Daily Mail, a British tabloid, first reported on the audio recording on Jan. 23, apparently revealing a March 2023 conversation between Mr. DeWit and Ms. Lake months before she announced that she was running for Arizona’s U.S. Senate seat. She said in the recording that she won’t take any offers.

“So, the ask I got today from back east was: ‘Is [sic] there any companies out there or something that could just put her on the payroll to keep her out?’” Mr. DeWit said, according to the recording.

According to the recording, Ms. Lake said, “This is not about money; this is about our country.

“I think it’s disturbing.

“I’m not going to let these people back in D.C. tell me not to run. I’m not going to pause for two years. The battle is now. I’m offended by whoever these people are that they are trying to buy me out.”

Later, Mr. DeWit said there were “very powerful people” who wanted her to drop out of the race.

“There are very powerful people who are gonna keep you out,” he said. “But they’re willing to put their money where their mouth is in a big way.”
Ms. Lake, a prominent supporter of former President Donald Trump who ran for governor of Arizona in 2022, also called for Mr. DeWit to resign after the Daily Mail released the audio.

“He’s gotta resign. We can’t have somebody who’s corrupt and compromised running the Republican Party. I want corruption rooted out of our government. I don’t care what’s on the Democrat side or the Republican side. We are going to root out corruption,” she said.

“You don’t put somebody in a position with a conversation like that. I’ve had a very terse relationship with him. I thought he should have resigned a long time ago.”

Mr. DeWit, who served as the chief financial officer for NASA during the Trump administration, was elected to...
