AG Paxton Thanks 25 States for Support Against Biden Invasion

AUSTIN — Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has issued a statement expressing gratitude for the support received from over two dozen states, praising Texas's commitment to border security and the exercise of self-defense rights. The letter of support, signed by 25 attorneys general, in addition to the Arizona Senate President and Arizona House Speaker, emphasizes the collaborative efforts of Governor Greg Abbott and Attorney General Paxton to maintain border integrity amidst the Biden Administration's promotion of crisis-level illegal immigration.

“I want to thank my colleagues from across the country for their support as Texas does the job that Biden refuses to do,” said Attorney General Paxton. “The invasion, encouraged by Biden’s refusal to follow federal statutory law, is the biggest threat facing this country. Texas will continue doing everything in her power to close the border and protect America.”

Attorney General Paxton, leading the national legal initiative against the Biden Administration's recurrent breaches of federal law, has also dismissed the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's unfounded "cease and desist" requests, demanding Texas yield Shelby Park and reopen unauthorized entry points for aliens.

The letter from the coalition of attorneys general, directed to President Biden and DHS Secretary Mayorkas, emphasizes a straightforward solution: “What you should do is simple: enforce the law and protect the border. And despite some recent suggestions that you should nationalize control of the Texas National Guard as a ruse, we would like to remind you that you cannot do so without legal authority that you currently lack. If you cannot bring yourselves to enforce the law, get out of the way so Texas can.”
