With the Biden Administration attacking Texas for trying to protect Americans from the illegal Alien invasion and the Supreme Court not finding a reason to let Texas do it, the Lone Star State “declared an invasion under Article I, § 10, Clause 3 to invoke Texas’s constitutional authority to defend and protect itself.”
And the Lone Star state won’t have to go it alone.

Interestingly enough, and unexpectedly, New Hampshire Governor Chris Sununu signed on to the statement, which says,
“President Biden and his Administration have left Americans and our country completely vulnerable to unprecedented illegal immigration pouring across the Southern border. Instead of upholding the rule of law and securing the border, the Biden Administration has attacked and sued Texas for stepping up to protect American citizens from historic levels of illegal immigrants, deadly drugs like fentanyl, and terrorists entering our country.
“We stand in solidarity with our fellow Governor, Greg Abbott, and the State of Texas in utilizing every tool and strategy, including razor wire fences, to secure the border. We do it in part because the Biden Administration is refusing to enforce immigration laws already on the books and is illegally allowing mass parole across America of migrants who entered our country illegally.
“The authors of the U.S. Constitution made clear that in times like this, states have a right of self-defense, under Article 4, Section 4 and Article 1, Section 10, Clause 3 of the U.S. Constitution. Because the Biden Administration has abdicated its constitutional compact duties to the states, Texas has every legal justification to protect the sovereignty of our states and our nation.”
Signatories include: Governor Kay Ivey (AL), Governor Mike Dunleavy (AK), Governor Sarah Sanders (AR), Governor Ron DeSantis (FL), Governor Brian Kemp (GA), Governor Brad Little (ID), Governor Eric Holcomb (IN), Governor Kim Reynolds (IA), Governor Jeff Landry (LA), Governor Tate Reeves (MS), Governor Mike Parson (MO), Governor Greg Gianforte (MT), Governor Jim Pillen (NE), Governor Joe Lombardo (NV), Governor Chris Sununu (NH), Governor Doug Burgum (ND), Governor Mike DeWine (OH), Governor Kevin Stitt (OK), Governor Henry McMaster (SC), Governor Kristi Noem (SD), Governor Bill Lee (TN), Governor Spencer Cox (UT), Governor Glenn Youngkin (VA), Governor Jim Justice (WV), and Governor Mark Gordon (WY).
A letter is nice, and 25 states are half of the whole, so it has some meaning, but I’m curious about what else is involved. Is this simply an act of solidarity? Will these states provide material support in court or at the border?
New Hampshire has a border, and it needs protecting, too, as the chaos in the south distracts from the rise in drug and human trafficking coming down from Canada – which has no problem jailing truckers but can’t seem to keep Mexicans out of Quebec.
I’m not saying we need help, but we need something, and Texas needs more than a letter. But I’ll admit to being impressed and thankful for the show of support. We give the governor a lot of crap which – admittedly – he brings on himself, but we’ve always been balanced about it. When we see good, we say as much, and this, Governor Sununu, is good.
