Texas installed razor wire in Eagle Pass to stop illegal crossings. Today the Biden Admin CUT that wire, opening the floodgates to illegal immigrants. I immediately deployed more Texas National Guard to repel illegal crossings & install more razor wire.

NEW: Texas is punching back at the Biden administration by reportedly putting up storage containers as a make-shift wall at the southern border after federal agents raised razor wire with a fork lift to let migrants in. Texas AG Ken Paxton said in a lawsuit that "federal agents used hydraulic-powered pallet forks to rip fence out of the ground, holding it suspended in the air in order to wave more than 300 migrants illegally into Texas." Federal Judge Alia Moses handed Texas a win in this lawsuit, saying the Biden administration must stop "disassembling, degrading, tampering" at the southern border. Your president hates you.

Border patrol agents are cutting barbed wire in places like Eagle Pass, TX, which I visited recently, totally undermining the rule of law & TX law enforcement efforts. A federal judge told them to stop & so now Biden is asking the Supreme Court to overrule that lower court decision. It’s not crazy to impeach a Cabinet official (Mayorkas) who is willfully undermining the rule of law. Time for accountability.

Today’s order underscores that keeping our Southern border open to traffickers and cartels is part of a deliberate strategy by President Biden. For over three years, the President’s reckless policies have endangered Americans and devastated communities across Texas, like those I visited earlier this month. Governor Abbott is doing exactly what any leader must: taking action to protect his state’s sovereignty and his citizens’ security. Rather than providing federal help, the President is shamefully undermining these efforts. It is an outrage.

So let me get this straight, the Democrats don't want to protect the border and they're asking for Biden to seize control of the Texas National Guard so they can maintain their open border policy. Can it get any more blatant than this? The efforts to weaken border security are not by accident. It's by design.
