“Is he coming to his senses?” States pledging support for Texas are growing rapidly, with some notable exceptions

Texas Governor Greg Abbott's mission to stem the massive influx of illegal immigrants pouring into the southern border is growing across America.

After receiving a blow from the Supreme Court that allows federal agents to remove the razor wire that Texas erected to stem the seemingly endless flow of migrants, Abbott declared that the Lone Star State would not be deterred.

Various states announced support for the defiant governor from the start, and many more have joined the growing coalition seeking to protect America and its citizens from an unrelenting influx of unknown and uninvestigated people from around the world.

Fox News' Bill Melguin has been covering the border chaos in depth and is tracking what states are announcing support for. The current list includes the states Florida, Virginia, Georgia, North Dakota, Tennessee, Alabama, Montana, Idaho, Utah, West Virginia, Oklahoma, Nebraska, Louisiana and Arkansas.

Update: Arkansas has now been added to the list. https://t.co/rHQVGyeU7c

And, just at the time of this writing, Iowa added its support as well!

Now also Iowa. https://t.co/XT2yTmusWE

The growing list is encouraging news for Americans who want a secure and sovereign nation, but there are some notable absences from this list. At least, until now.

Complaints from so-called “sanctuary states” and cities have been mounting as migrants have been showing up in droves. City and state leaders have called for federal help and demanded an end to the massive burden on their communities.

Well, this is your chance to try to do something without the feds!

But let's face it, no one is going to hold their breath for places like New York and Illinois to send support to Texas or even express it, since it goes against the Democratic narrative.

Meanwhile, many Americans are relieved to see some kind of action:

This is excellent! I admire the solidarity with the state of Texas.

I'm glad to see so many states supporting Texas. The Biden administration is only encouraging and enabling this border invasion and any Republican who goes along with Biden's mismanagement of this country needs to be fired!

The states that continue to cry about the burden of taking care of the influx of illegals (NY/IL I'm talking to you), ignore the terrible situation at the border. It's like they enjoy the pain they are inflicting on their constituents.
