| Influential think tank urges Texas to declare invasion at southern border |
| 2022-09-13 |
| [JustTheNews] The head of the Texas Public Policy Foundation is advocating for the state to declare an invasion at the southern border to protect Texas sovereignty and Texans “from cartel forces and their allies.” TPPF CEO Greg Sindelar says the foundation is advocating for the state of Texas to declare that "an invasion [is] underway, from cartel forces and their allies, under the U.S. Constitution’s Article I, Section 10.” It’s also calling on the federal government to designate Mexican cartels as terror organizations, among other policies it will be proposing. “The time for Texas to act is long overdue,” Sindelar said at the 80th annual Assembly and Convention of the American Society of Mexico in Mexico City, according to a transcript of his remarks. They came after county judges and commissioners representing 18 counties and the Republican Party of Texas have lauded Texas Gov. Greg Abbott’s efforts to secure the southern border but want him to do even more. County officials have passed resolutions arguing “the health, safety, and welfare of Texas residents are under an imminent threat from the unprecedented levels of illegal immigration, human trafficking, and drug smuggling coming across the U.S. border from Mexico.” Nearly 5 million people have been apprehended or evaded capture entering the U.S. since President Joe Biden implemented significant policy changes at the southern border. While Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas has claimed the border is closed and secure, 14 attorneys general have called for his resignation and Texas and numerous states have sued, arguing his policies are unconstitutional and wreaking havoc in their states. |
