House Republicans from Texas rallied in support of GovAbbott after the Biden administration sued the Lone Star State for placing a buoy barrier in a portion of the state's 1,250-mile border.
The band of roughly 10 Republicans gathered on Capitol Hill Thursday and urged the three-term governor not to back down with his militarization of certain parts of the state's border with Mexico."I have a message for our governor of the great state of Texas, Gov. Abbott. Stay the course. Stand your ground, and continue to defend the great state of Texas," said Rep. Jodey Arrington , who organized the press conference."You're doing what's right.
"It's one thing that the federal government has refused to secure the border, and Texas has had to spend so much money," Rep. Lance Gooden said."It's another thing when they actually get in our way and tell us we have to stop securing our border." In a passionate plea, Rep. Chip Roy called on Republicans not to fund appropriations bills until the matter was fixed and compared the fight between the GOP governor and Democratic president to"war."
Roy, the author of House-passed H.R. 2, called for the Senate to pass his border security bill and for both chambers to repay Texas for roughly $10 billion that it has spent and plans to spend between 2021 and 2025.CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER
