BREAKING: President Donald Trump Responds To Abbott's Stand Against Biden's Open Border

On Wednesday, Gov. Greg Abbott (R-TX) took a stand against the Biden administration by arguing that the state of Texas has the right to defend itself from the ongoing invasion currently underway along the Rio Grande as tens of thousands of migrants enter the Lone Star State each month. The governor laid out his argument in an open letter to the Biden administration. His courageous act has led to dozens of Republican governors from across the country standing alongside him and President Trump coming to his aid.

"When I was President, we had the most secure Border in History. Joe Biden has surrendered our Border, and is aiding and abetting a massive Invasion of millions of Illegal Migrants into the United States. Instead of fighting to protect our Country from this onslaught, Biden is, unbelievably, fighting to tie the hands of Governor Abbott and the State of Texas, so that the Invasion continues unchecked," Trump wrote on Truth Social. "In the face of this National Security, Public Safety, and Public Health Catastrophe, Texas has rightly invoked the Invasion Clause of the Constitution, and must be given full support to repel the Invasion."

"We encourage all willing States to deploy their guards to Texas to prevent the entry of Illegals, and to remove them back across the Border," the 45th president continued. "All Americans should support the commonsense measures by Texas authorities to protect the Safety, Security, and Sovereignty of Texas, and of the American people. When I am President, on Day One, instead of fighting Texas, I will work hand in hand with Governor Abbott and other Border States to Stop the Invasion, Seal the Border, and Rapidly Begin the Largest Domestic Deportation Operation in History. Those Biden has let in should not get comfortable because they will be going home."

In the governor's letter to the federal government, Abbott explained that the Biden administration has failed to fulfill its constitutional duty to protect the states. "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 began. "President Biden has refused to enforce those laws and has even violated them. The result is that he has smashed records for illegal immigration."

The governor went on to explain that President Biden has ignored Texas's demands to secure the border and follow federal law, thus forcing Abbott's hand. "James Madison, Alexander Hamilton, and the other visionaries who wrote the U.S. Constitution foresaw that States should not be left to the mercy of a lawless president who does nothing to stop external threats like cartels smuggling millions of illegal immigrants across the border," the Texas governor wrote, adding that Article IV, Section 4 promises that the federal government will protect the states from invasion and that Article 1, Section 10, Clause 3 allows for the states to take action if the federal government fails to act.

Abbott's letter comes after the Supreme Court ruled in a 5-4 vote that the federal government has the authority to remove barriers placed along the border by the state of Texas that were meant to dissuade migrants from entering the United States illegally. The decision gives Border Patrol agents the authority to cut razor wire deployed by the Texas National Guard as a part of Gov. Abbott's Operation Lone Star. While the Supreme Court did lift the federal government's prohibition on cutting the razor wire, the actual merits of the case are still being considered in the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals.
