A Republican governor of an interior state pledged to drive in razor wire on the border herself if Texas Gov. Greg Abbott is stopped by President Biden or federal forces from retaining operational control of a park in Eagle Pass.
Meanwhile, the U.S. congressman who represents the area warned Biden would be an “idiot” to commence a standoff or worse with Texas National Guard members now using the park, as parallels were drawn to the last instance of National Guard federalization 67 years ago.
South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem told Fox News that Abbott is doing the right thing by standing firm after a Supreme Court ruling in which two conservative justices sided with the liberals to vacate a lower court’s order preventing U.S. Border Patrol agents from accessing the park, which has reportedly been a high-traffic illegal migrant arcade. The court’s decision allows Border Patrol agents to cut concertina wire that Texas had installed along the border near Eagle Pass while litigation continues.
“I’ll drive in more razor wire from South Dakota if I have to, for [Abbott] to do his job,” Noem told “America Reports.”
Cruz noted Biden reversed every major Trump border security policy and retains the ability to enforce laws he thus far refuses to, which he tacitly indicated doesn’t require such funding.
“Biden could solve this problem tomorrow — he doesn’t want to,” Cruz said.
He said both Biden and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., both view migrants and illegal immigrants as future Democratic voters for life, and that both are willing to “overlook the death, suffering [and] women and children being brutalized” as the crisis intensifies.
“All of those are acceptable prices to pay for Democrats to stay in power,” he said.
