Congressman Keith Self Supports Governor Greg Abbott’s Border Security Efforts

Congressman Keith Self and 23 House Republican Members have expressed their support for Governor Greg Abbott's efforts to secure the border. The Members of Congress have written a letter encouraging Governor Abbott to continue defending Texas' sovereignty and standing against the Biden administration's border policies.

In their letter, the Members of Congress highlighted the importance of upholding the U.S. Constitution, specifically Article 4, Section 4, which guarantees protection for states against a federal government that defies the law and allows for a foreign invasion. They emphasized that Governor Abbott, by utilizing the resources and constitutional authority at his disposal, is enforcing border security in the best interest of Texas.

"I appreciate Governor Abbott's resolve and know he will do what is in the best interest of Texas," Congressman Keith Self stated. "As Governor Abbott uses the resources and constitutional authority at his disposal to enforce border security, I believe the American people will continue standing with Texas, and against this foreign invasion."

The letter comes at a time when the number of illegal immigrants crossing the border has reached alarming levels. Since President Biden took office, over 8.7 million illegal immigrants have crossed the border, with an average of more than 5,000 being released into the United States each day. The Biden administration has halted the construction of the border wall and ended the "Remain in Mexico" policy implemented by former President Trump.

"Conservatives in Congress stand in solidarity with Governor Abbott," Congressman Self affirmed. "It is imperative that border states step into the gap to stop the invasion on our southern border, and Constitutionally, they have the right to do so."

The letter shows the unity among Republican Members of Congress in supporting Governor Abbott's efforts to secure the border. By highlighting the constitutional authority of states and the need to address the foreign invasion at the southern border, they emphasize the urgency of taking action.
