Over half of America's governors are backing Texas' Greg Abbott in his bitter standoff with President Joe Biden over who should have the authority to apprehend migrants at the border.
Abbott reasserted the state's right to protect its own border after the Supreme Court ruled the Biden administration could take down razor wire Texas had installed along high-traffic areas of the border.
Meanwhile Texas Border Czar Mike Banks told ranchers Wednesday the state could install razor wire on their private property free of charge, the state official told a packed room of ranchers who met just outside of Eagle Pass, Texas.
Abbott said the federal government failed at its duty

Unless the list has changed, only Republican governors are supporting Texas.
Which tells me all I need to know.

Where are the Governors of Arizona, and New Mexico and why aren't they stringing razor wire?
Of course we already know about California.

FTA —- “We stand in solidarity with our fellow Governor, Greg Abbott, and the State of Texas in utilizing every tool and strategy, including razor wire fences, to secure the border.”
Ok, they “stand in solidarity” with Governor Abbott, Those are words. Unless they support Governor Abbott with something tangible, their solidarity amounts to puffery. Send truckloads of razor wire. Put money where your mouths are.

Can’t speak for other states, #5, but Nebraska has had troops down there, helping to secure the border, for a while now.

When in the course of human events. .. I just spent a few minutes re-reading the first several lines o the Declaration of Independence.
The list of grievances in those pages sent an uncomfortable shiver down my spine.
I pray Poster 1 is wrong. But I had the same thought.

I thought about the razor wire on private property. Good idea. As for Arizona and New Mexico, you get what you vote for, or steal, the way dems seem to operate!

Mitt Romney: “I think the border is a very important issue for Donald Trump. And the fact that he would communicate to Republican senators and congresspeople that he doesn't want us to solve the border problem because he wants to blame Biden for it is is really appalling." Says the Poster Child for RINOs

Half the country. I can tell you that our Demonrat governor here in Kansas won't support it, but much of the population does.

25 other states plus Abbott in Tx makes 26, a Majority of all States. That constitutes a VOTE, and in a "Democracy" as Leftists always say, makes them RIGHT!
