Several Republican members of Congress and political figures have voiced strong criticism towards the Biden administration's handling of the situation at the southern border, labeling it as an 'INVASION.' Representative Debbie Lesko introduced a resolution to declare an invasion at the border, emphasizing states' rights to protect themselves in light of what they perceive as federal inaction. Representative Brian Babin, Senator Ted Cruz, and Representative Beth Van Duyne echoed similar sentiments, asserting Texas' constitutional right to defend its citizens against the influx of illegal immigrants with 'appropriate force' and to stop the invasion that they attribute to Biden's policies. They highlighted the 'unprecedented number' of illegal immigrants and accused the administration of siding with 'drug dealers and human' traffickers. The term 'Biden's Invasion' was used to describe the situation, with the GOP and Pete Sessions accusing the administration of 'aiding and abetting' the situation through its policies and 'abdication of border control,' emphasizing the need for states like Texas to regain 'operational control' of the border.
The Biden Administration’s abdication of border control is unacceptable. Texas and other states have the duty and must have the ability to protect their citizens, by regaining operational control of the border in the face of federal inaction. https://t.co/UJ55HaY8Az
The Biden administration is aiding and abetting an invasion.

When the federal government fails to act, states should not have to suffer. With an unprecedented number of illegal immigrants flooding through our southern border, Texas has a constitutional right to protect our people and stop the invasion that Biden created. https://t.co/dDFBBFPL6S
Joe Biden and the Democrats are allowing an invasion at our southern border. Texas has a right to defend its people. Sadly, every step of the way the Biden administration has undermined our state. This administration would rather side with the drug dealers and human… https://t.co/FUEZKiDwKK
Make no mistake: an invasion is taking place in Texas, and the Biden administration is ignoring it. Texas has the constitutional right to defend itself and its citizens and should respond to this with the appropriate force to stop it. https://t.co/ZD8rWFyinG
We have an INVASION at our Southern Border. That’s why I introduced my resolution to declare an invasion at the border. States deserve the right to protect themselves – especially when Biden refuses to do so! https://t.co/NM3XtH1NxT
