PILLEN AMONG 25 REPUBLICAN GOVERNORS SUPPORTING TEXAS BORDER EFFORTS

LINCOLN- Nebraska Gov. Jim Pillen is among 25 GOP governors behind a letter supporting Texas Gov. Greg Abbott and the state’s “constitutional right to self-defense” at the nation’s southern border. In their letter, the members of the Republican Governors Association blame President Joe Biden’s administration for refusing to take action addressing the border crisis, instead suing the state.

The U.S. Supreme Court this week ordered Texas to allow federal border agents access to the border, where the state has placed miles of razor wire to deter migrants. Texas had sued the federal government after Border Patrol agents cut some of the wire. The governors said that because the Biden administration has failed to stop the “historic levels of illegal immigrants, deadly drugs like fentanyl, and terrorists entering our country, Texas has a constitutional right to defend itself and the nation.

“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. We do it in part because the Biden Administration is refusing to enforce immigration laws already on the books and is illegally allowing mass parole across America of migrants who entered our country illegally,” the governors wrote.
