The Texas National Guard, under the authority and leadership of Republican Gov. Greg Abbott, has, basically, given the Biden administration the middle finger and is continuing to defy demands they halt the production of razor wire barriers along the southern border. While this is most certainly an intense situation, you have to give Abbott props for being a man who is standing on his principles. At this moment, he is one of a handful of leaders and governors across the country who is trying to keep our nation safe.
What’s pathetic is this responsibility primarily falls on the Department of Homeland Security and the executive branch — President Joe Biden — and yet, they are both doing absolutely nothing to stop the flood of illegals pouring into the country. Millions of individuals have crossed into the United States and gained access to the interior of the country, bringing with them a massive crime wave, mountains of fentanyl, and human trafficking. Folks, we’re being invaded. Plain and simple.
The Daily Wire is reporting:
The Biden administration and the Texas National Guard are locked in an ongoing dispute over Shelby Park in Eagle Pass, a sprawling park that, up until recently, was used as a major thoroughfare for illegal immigrants attempting to gain access to the United States.
The Texas National Guard took control of Shelby Park after Customs and Border Patrol agents were filmed cutting through razor wire to make it easier for illegal immigrants to enter the United States.
Tensions hit a fever pitch this week after the Supreme Court sided with the Biden administration in a 5-4 vote, saying that federal agents may cut and remove the razor wire to allow illegal immigrants to enter the country.
The Daily Wire then revealed that despite the ruling handed down from the Supreme Court, authorities from the Lone Star State have not only kept the existing wire fortifications in place, but have built more barriers and are continuing to keep Border Patrol agents from being able to establish any kind of presence in the park. Guys, this is what it looks like to take a stand on the 10th Amendment. Biden can easily end this situation by conceding his open border strategy and doing his actual job to seal off the border and enforce immigration law.
This is really a simple fix. However, obvious political motivations lie behind the administration’s desire to just leave the border situation unresolved. If enough illegal immigrants enter the country, demographics shift and their chances of winning elections and gaining more representatives increases.

Texas authorities have also arrested illegal immigrants for trespassing, taking some to jail rather than handing them over to Customs and Border Patrol for processing.

Now the Biden administration has demanded that the Texas National Guard give Border Patrol complete access to Shelby Park by today, Friday January 26th.
Gov. Abbott seemingly responded to Biden’s deadline in a post published on X/Twitter on Thursday evening, refusing to budge, even the slightest, on the current stance he and the state have taken on the border crisis.
“Half of America joins Texas in asserting our constitutional right of self defense under Art. 1, Sec. 10, stemming from Joe Biden’s refusal to enforce immigration laws,” the post from Abbott says. “His actions have caused an unprecedented invasion that we must defend against.”
So far, a total of 25 GOP governors from all over the U.S. have taken a stand with Abbott following the ruling from the Supreme Court, thoroughly trashing the Biden administration for causing this mess in the first place.
“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,” the statement from the GOP governors stated before ripping into the Biden administration for “refusing to enforce immigration laws already on the books and is illegally allowing mass parole across America of migrants who entered our country illegally.”
Just do your job, Mr. President. Put the agenda of your overlords aside and for once in your existence, do something to benefit others and not yourself.
