Today Governor @GregAbbott_TX made it boldly and unquestionably clear — the State of Texas will not stand down. When the President of the United States abdicates his constitutional duty to enforce our federal laws and secure our border, while also creating greater enticement for individuals to enter our country illegally by removing barriers, the State of Texas will not stand down. And if it means Governor Abbott invoking our constitutionally-protected sovereign right to protect and defend our state by declaring an invasion as he did today, the State of Texas will not stand down. The Texas National Guard, Texas DPS, and other Texas personnel remain in place to continue the mission to secure the Texas-Mexico border. The State of Texas — under the strong leadership of Governor Abbott — will not stand down. #txlege
@Burrows4TX @LoewyLawFirm @GregAbbott_TX Secession didn’t work out that well last time Texas tried it. Shouldn’t expect a different result this time. Immigration (illegal or otherwise) does not equal “invasion.” Invasion is when a military comes in.
