“Our position remains the same”

The Border Patrol has 'no plans' to tear down razor wire barriers erected by the state of Texas as it seeks to stem the tide of illegal aliens that have poured into the country since President Joe Biden took possession

As a high-stakes legal battle between the Lone Star State and the federal government plays out in court, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has defiantly refused to comply with the regime by removing concertina wire near the southern border as leftists call for Biden to federalize. the Texas National Guard to allow unhindered access to hordes of foreigners.

“While this issue plays out in the courts, the relationship between the Border Patrol, Texas DPS [Department of Public Safety]and TMD [Texas Military Dept.] remains strong,” the official told the outlet. “Our focus is and will always be the mission to protect this country and its people. On the ground, we continue to work alongside these valuable partners in this effort.”

“Bottom line: Border Patrol has no plans to remove the (c-wire) infrastructure placed by Texas along the border. Our position remains the same,” the CBP official said. “If we have to access an emergency response area, we will. When that happens, we will coordinate with Texas DPS and TMD.”

“Immigration enforcement is a federal responsibility,” a spokesperson for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said this week, according to Fox News. “Instead of helping to reduce illegal immigration, the state of Texas has only made it more difficult for frontline staff to do their jobs and enforce consequences under the law. We can enforce our laws and administer them in a safe, humane and orderly way”.

On Monday, the Supreme Court sided with the Biden regime in allowing Border Patrol agents to resume cutting the wire in an overturn of a lower court's order, but Texas isn't backing down an inch with Abbott issuing a statement asserting the state's constitutional right to defend itself. against an invasion and the detonation of the “lawless” president.

“Under President Biden's lawless border policies, over 6 million illegal immigrants have crossed our southern border in just 3 years. That's more than the population of 33 different states in this country. This denial illegal to protect the States has inflicted unprecedented harm on the people of the entire United States,” the governor said in Wednesday's statement.

“The failure by the Biden Administration of the duties imposed by Article IV, § 4 has triggered Article I, § 10, Clause 3, which reserves to this State the right of self-defense. For these reasons , I have already declared an invasion under Article I, § 10, Clause 3 to invoke Texas' constitutional authority to defend and protect itself,” Abbott added.

Since Abbott's announcement, Republican governors in 25 other states have sided with Texas in the showdown with Biden over the illegal alien crisis.

“In terms of a showdown, I don't know what Joe Biden is going to do. So far, it seems like every decision he's made has been a bad decision for our country,” Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton. he said Fox News Thursday. “He's cooperating, not just cooperating, he's literally in collaboration with these cartels.”

“Joe Biden has somehow cut a deal where these cartels transport people directly to the Border Patrol and then move them across the country. So we're in a terrible situation,” he said.
