Governors from various states across the United States, including Governor Jeff Landry, have publicly declared their support for Texas in its efforts to secure the southern border amidst what they describe as a crisis. Texas Governor Greg Abbott has been vocal about the Biden Administration's failure to address the situation, leading to a collaborative initiative among states. The initiative, dubbed #OperationLoneStar, has received backing from governors criticizing President @JoeBiden for not securing the border and emphasizing the need for states to take action. Governors are committing resources, including National Guard members and law enforcement, to assist Texas. Texas officials, including Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick, have made appearances on media programs such as @AmericaRpts and discussed with @glennbeck the state's right to defend itself and the measures being taken, including arresting and detaining individuals crossing the border illegally. Utah's involvement was highlighted by @RepBlakeMoore with the hashtag #utpol, and Patrick's visit to the border was shared with the hashtag #txlege.
If the federal government won’t protect the border, Texas will. We will arrest, detain, and jail anyone who is here illegally. We WILL hold the line. I joined @glennbeck on his program to talk about this and more. Watch it here: https://t.co/WUV7EwKvS4
In January, I visited our southern border to thank the dedicated men and women stationed there. Texas stands behind them, and we will continue to do everything we can to protect our border. Here’s a short video from my time there. #txlege https://t.co/uLMHDzGGbb
Utah is doing what we do best and helping where we can. I applaud @govcox for sending Utah National Guard members and law enforcement to Texas to assist with our border crisis. #utpol https://t.co/8Nbo8xkRJw
Texas has a right to defend itself from this border invasion. I was on @AmericaRpts talking about Biden’s border crisis chaos. Watch here: https://t.co/al84YjlXFT
From New Hampshire, to Nebraska, and all across the country, America’s Governors stand with Texas. Texas — with America on our side — will continue to hold the line and defend our border. Read this week’s #OperationLoneStar update below. https://t.co/RnajztjV1k
This week, America’s Governors stood together to send a clear message to the Biden Admin. We will not tolerate the lawlessness he enabled at our border. With over half of America on our side, #OperationLoneStar will hold the line. https://t.co/tq58yrwssd
Thank you, @GovHolcomb! I fully support this decision. After seeing the chaos and destruction at our border, I know the need they have for support. If @JoeBiden won’t secure the border, it's imperative for governors nationwide to deploy their National Guard. https://t.co/Albh0p88DI
Thank you to Governor @JeffLandry for standing with Texas. When states come together, America is stronger. While Biden refuses to do his constitutional duty, Texas and fellow states will provide the security Americans deserve. https://t.co/C4rIyfOolR
