The southern border crisis in the United States continues to be a major concern, with former Texas governor and former Energy Secretary Rick Perry weighing in on the issue. Perry expressed his support for Texas Governor Greg Abbott and his stance against the 'overrunning' of the border. He condemned the Biden administration's policies, stating that they are allowing individuals with potentially 'bad intent' into the country.
Perry applauded the efforts of Border Patrol agents for refusing to engage in a confrontation with the Texas National Guard and expressed hope that the situation does not escalate further. He also predicted that the border crisis would lead to Texas becoming a more Republican state as Hispanic individuals along the border witness the consequences of the Biden administration's policies and potentially turn away from the Democratic Party.
The discussion also touched on a recent Supreme Court decision regarding wire fencing along the border. Perry pointed out that the decision neither requires Texas to remove existing razor wire nor prevents them from adding more wire. He further referenced Article Four of the Constitution, which states that the federal government has a duty to protect states against invasion. Perry cited a story by journalist John Solomon, which highlighted concerns raised by top FBI officials about the current situation at the border. These officials warned that the influx of foreign individuals, particularly military-age males, poses a significant threat to American security.
Perry emphasized the importance of the letter by these seasoned law enforcement officials, stating that the level of activity and evidence of individuals with harmful intentions freely entering the country is unprecedented. He expressed astonishment that the American people are not outraged by these developments and called on them to send a clear message to the Biden administration.
In closing, Perry expressed his solidarity with Texas and commended the border officials who have supported Governor Abbott's efforts to address the crisis. He criticized the Biden administration for creating the situation and warned that their approach will not lead to re-election success. Perry's remarks reflect the urgent need for action to address the southern border crisis and ensure the safety and security of the American people.
