| John, The mainstream media and the Radical Left will stop at nothing to call Republicans racist and heartless for securing our border to protect our families and communities – do you agree that we are witnessing an invasion at our southern border? If so, please support the Texas GOP and Rep. Jodey Arrington’s efforts to declare an invasion and end this crisis at our border! The states have no choice but to lead. Because of the reckless and destructive policies coming out of Washington D.C., combined with an administration disinterested in following our laws and securing the nation it has been elected to govern, the states must use every tool available to step into the breach and defend the Republic. This begins with a declaration of invasion by Texas. Defend Texas and Save America,  Matt Rinaldi Republican Party of Texas, Chairman ---------Forwarded Message------- From: The Republican Party of Texas Sent: Fri, July 8, 2022, at 3:11 PM Subject: Call it what it is: 🚨 AN INVASION 🚨 John, Biden’s border crisis is out of control. It’s time to stop referring to what’s happening at our border as "immigration" and call it what it is, an invasion. Oxford Languages defines an invasion as "an instance of invading a country or region with an armed force" or "an incursion by a large number of people or things into a place or sphere of activity.” Texas Congressman Jodey Arrington (TX-19) is leading the charge on this issue in Congress by introducing a resolution affirming states’ sovereign powers to defend themselves against invasion, and is willing to speak honestly and frankly about what’s happening at our southern border. If you missed his speech at our State Convention in June, take a few minutes to watch Rep. Arrington explain why he believes we must declare an invasion at our border. |

| We all know the Biden administration is not interested in
securing our southern border, which is why one of our 8 Legislative Priorities for the upcoming session is to
declare an invasion on our Texas border and do everything necessary to protect Texans. Just this week, judges, sheriffs, and other officials from four Texas counties showed bold leadership by invoking Constitutional protections and declaring an invasion at the southern border caused and abetted by the Biden administration’s total dereliction of duty. |

| Article I, Section 10, Clause 3 provides states with an appropriate
"self-defense" remedy to situations like this, and stipulates that, "No State shall, without the Consent of Congress, lay any Duty
of Tonnage, keep Troops, or Ships of War in time of Peace, enter into any Agreement or Compact with another State, or with a foreign Power, or engage
in War, unless actually invaded, or in such imminent Danger as will not admit delay." States have the constitutional right and, we believe, the duty, to bypass a failed federal government and stop the invasion at our southern border; but it all starts with formally recognizing the obvious: our southern border is under invasion. |
