In an article published during the Texas border standoff, Texas Land Commissioner Dr. Buckingham called on “all Americans to stand up for our country. Politicians should put the interests of Americans in their hearts and send a loud and clear message to leaders in a far-off capitol in Washington, DC — keep your hands off the Texas National Guard.”
The Oklahoma GOP rebuked its U.S. Senator James Lankford for caving to the D.C. uniparty on a bill that would grant new authority to Biden, after he had opened our southern border for three years. Lankford and Democrats hid the details, but enough leaked out for House Speaker Mike Johnson to declare the useless border bill to be dead on arrival in the House.
Biden promised that he would close part of the border if given new authority by Congress. But he already had that power as he refused to enforce existing immigration laws. Giving Biden new authority over the border is like giving an alcoholic the keys to the liquor cabinet.
Elon Musk piped up during the debacle with his remarkably pointed criticism of Biden’s open border. “No laws need to be passed. All that is needed is an executive order to require proof before granting an asylum hearing,” Musk tweeted on his platform X.
“That is how it used to be,” Musk added. He could have included the words “under Trump,” and highlighted how Trump’s border policy was successful where Biden’s wasn’t.
Biden subsequently sued Texas for its newly enacted SB 4, which authorized state officials to arrest and deport illegal aliens found in the state. The U.S. Border Patrol should have already been doing that, but instead, Biden and his minions tried to block Texas from protecting its residents.
Texas has stood strong while Biden spent years sitting by and doing nothing about the border crisis. For that, the state of Texas deserves our full support in this matter.
