Texas officials, led by Governor Greg Abbott, assert their right to protect the state's southern border, amidst what they term an 'invasion,' in response to perceived federal inaction. High-profile Republicans, including Representatives Elise Stefanik and Brian Babin, as well as former President Donald Trump, support Texas's stance. Trump criticized President Biden's border deal as 'worse than no deal,' a sentiment echoed by Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, who labeled the deal a 'farce' and suggested it would legalize 1.8 million illegal entries annually. A significant movement, including a 7,000-strong 'Army of God' convoy and an estimated 700,000 American Patriots in 700,000 vehicles, is converging on the Texas border to support Abbott's border security efforts.

Ron DeSantis is fed up with the Border "Deal" in Congress: "Stopping the invasion doesn’t require a so-called deal that codifies into law illegal entries in excess of 1.8 million per year and provides incentives for future illegal immigration." https://t.co/0njyfA7GKx
“Instead of fighting to protect our Country from this onslaught, Biden is, unbelievably, fighting to tie the hands of Governor Abbott and the State of Texas, so that the Invasion continues unchecked,” Mr. Trump said. https://t.co/2VIzFVbqUw
DeSantis: “This border deal is a farce. Joe Biden could stop the invasion cold if he wanted to. He does not want to. The appropriate number of illegal entries is zero.” https://t.co/Nr9YmYmSNy

The Biden Border crisis is out of control. The Biden regime want amnesty for millions of illegal immigrants. This is why true patriots stand with Texas as they hold the line to stop the invasion at our southern border. https://t.co/dh3YxlMpcR
A nation without borders is not a nation. Texas has every right to protect our borders and American citizens since Joe Biden REFUSES to. I fully support @TXGovAbbott.
Texas will continue to exercise its constitutional right to protect and defend our southern border. In President Biden's absence, we will hold the line to keep Texans—and Americans—safe. https://t.co/OKLN3Ql1Qk
