DeSantis Backs Texas As It Fights To Secure Its Border: ‘Upholding The Law While Biden Is Flouting It’

 Florida Governor Ron DeSantis this week supported Texas Governor Greg Abbott as he fights against the Biden administration to secure Texas' border with Mexico to prevent millions of illegal aliens from coming to his state.

DeSantis' statement comes after the U.S. Supreme Court sided with the Biden administration this week, ruling that it can cut down or remove sections of razor wire installed along the border by the Texas National Guard to deter illegal immigration. Could.

"If the Constitution had actually made states powerless to defend themselves against invasion, it would not have been ratified in the first place and Texas would never have joined the Union," DeSantis wrote on Whereas Biden is violating it. “FL will continue to assist Texas with personnel and assets.”

Abbott said Wednesday that Biden's failures to secure the border "have given rise to the Article I, § 10, clause 3, imposed by Article IV, § 4, which reserves to this state the right of self-defense." 'For these reasons, I have already declared an invasion to invoke the constitutional right of Texas to defend and protect itself under Article I, § 10, Section 3,'' he concluded. “That authority is the supreme law of the land and supersedes any federal law to the contrary. The Texas National Guard, Texas Department of Public Safety, and other Texas personnel are working under that authority, as well as state law, to secure the Texas border.

DeSantis took up the idea earlier in the week after the Supreme Court sided with the Biden administration by allowing the government to remove the razor wire.

"Texas is trying to enforce our laws and uphold our sovereignty, while the federal government is disregarding the law and ignoring its responsibility to protect our borders," he said. "What an upside-down world it is."
