For three years, Texas has been forced to bear the brunt of the Biden administration’s failed open-border policies and abdication of duty.
Now the Biden administration — after enabling millions of illegal crossings, a raging opioid crisis, and the worst human trafficking event of my lifetime — wants to prohibit Texas from picking up their slack.
As a Texan and an attorney, I was proud to sign an amicus brief this week alongside 40+ members of Congress, supporting the State of Texas in its fight with the Biden administration over S.B. 4, a bill passed by the state legislature and signed into law by Governor Abbott, which makes illegal entry into Texas from a foreign nation a state crime.
By signing this brief, I once again declared what the Constitution makes clear: In the absence of the federal government, our state has every right to defend itself.
