Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has received a letter of support from more than two dozen states, praising Texas's commitment to securing the border and exercising its right of self-defense. The letter, signed by 25 attorneys general, as well as the Arizona Senate President and Arizona House Speaker, recognizes the work done by Governor Greg Abbott and Attorney General Paxton to address the ongoing crisis of illegal immigration, which has been exacerbated by the Biden Administration.
In response to the letter, Attorney General Paxton expressed his gratitude to his colleagues, stating, "I want to thank my colleagues from across the country for their support as Texas does the job that Biden refuses to do. 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 has been at the forefront of the legal battle against the Biden Administration's repeated violations of federal law. He has also rejected the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's requests to surrender Shelby Park and reopen illegal entry points for aliens to access. Paxton has asserted that these requests are baseless and without legal merit.
The letter from the coalition of attorneys general directly addresses President Biden and DHS Secretary Mayorkas, urging them to enforce the law and protect the border. It states, "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."
This show of support from attorneys general across the country highlights the importance of addressing the crisis at the border. Texas, along with other states, has taken proactive measures to secure its borders and protect its residents. The letter serves as a reminder to the Biden Administration of the urgency and seriousness of the situation.
