Texas Governor Greg Abbott may turn out to be the most important man in America over the next few weeks and months. Abbott, along with Arizona Governor Doug Ducey, have the ability to use their state National Guard to close their border with Mexico, and stop the mass migration of illegal aliens into their states.
They unquestionably have the constitutional right to protect the citizens of their respective states from the dangers that an invasion by unvetted and unvaccinated individuals from other countries pose to Texans and Arizonans as well as the nation as a whole. Article IV, Section 4 of the United States Constitution gives them that right. It says :
“The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened) against domestic Violence.”
By any reasonable standard, tens of thousands of uninvited illegal aliens crossing your state line IS AN INVASION! And it’s not just a threat from the Covid-19 Virus. Other virulent disease such as Measles, Smallpox, Polio, drug resistant strains of Tuberculosis and even Leprosy are coming in with these illegal invaders. The unfettered flow of extremely dangerous drugs such as Fentanyl, as well as weapons which can be used by criminals or terrorists are being ignored by the Biden Administration.
If there ever was a time for these Governors to stand up and protect their citizens it’s now. Of course these efforts will be opposed by the Biden Administration. Charges of racism will be levied against them for taking such actions. However, citizens of these states comprise many ethnic groups, and they all are suffering the negative impacts caused by this unprecedented influx of poorly educated individuals who will immediately put a strain on already overwhelmed social service facilities.
It’s past time for all legal residents of Arizona and Texas to call or write their Governors office and demand he take the actions listed above. Protecting our citizens should be the first priority of our government. The Biden Administration has failed utterly in doing that, so now is the time for the States to step up and do the things that the federal government has refused to do. The safety and security of the nation demand it.
