Florida Representative Matt Gaetz, known on Twitter as @RepMattGaetz, has introduced the "State Border Security Act," a bill aimed at empowering states along the Southern Border to protect their territories. This legislation, a House companion to a bill introduced by Senator JD Vance (@JDVance1), seeks to codify the rights of these states to erect temporary fencing within 25 miles of the U.S.-Mexico border and to prevent federal agents from removing these barriers. The bill's introduction comes amid criticisms of the Biden Administration's handling of border security and is part of a broader push by House Republicans, including Reps. Chip Roy (@chiproytx) and Dan Bishop (@danbishopnc), to reaffirm states' constitutional abilities to defend their borders.
