Texas Shuts Down Its Border With Mexico
In
a victory for states’ rights, Texas has pushed back against the federal
government’s refusal to do anything about the tide of illegals, human
trafficking, and drugs streaming across its border from Mexico by
shutting down the Rio Grande region of the border.
Texas Lieutenant Governor David Dewhurst explains that the action was necessary in order to protect Texas as well as the U.S. at large:
This proves Texas can do the job the federal government has refused to do — to invest in the border and shut it down from illegal activities that are hurting Texans and other Americans. Texas will protect our own citizens and other Americans from the criminal gangs that are destabilizing our state and our nation.
If
the federal government continues to turn a blind eye to the issue of
illegal immigration, we may just see more states following in the
footsteps of the Lone Star State.
