Governor Abbott's Legal Argument: Invasion on the Southern Border

In this episode, Texas Governor Greg Abbott asserts that his state has the right to step in and address the crisis at the Southern border if the federal government fails to act. While Abbott's use of the term 'invasion' is not referring to individual immigrants seeking jobs or welfare, it focuses on the Mexican drug cartels using Biden's loose immigration policies to smuggle people, including criminals and potential terrorists, across the border. Abbott does not necessarily have to prove an invasion is taking place to argue that Texas should secure the border, as he can make a case based on the federal government's failure to fulfill its constitutional obligation.
