Texas Defies Biden Admin’s Demand It Give Access to Border
Charles Hilu
January 18, 2024
Texas on Wednesday refused a demand from President Joe Biden's administration to give Border Patrol agents access to a section of the border the state blocked the federal government from accessing last week.
The letter of refusal from Texas's attorney general, Ken Paxton (R.), came in response to a demand from the Department of Homeland Security general counsel Jonathan Meyer that the Texas National Guard cease and desist its occupation of a 2.5-mile stretch of the southern border that includes Shelby Park in Eagle Pass, a highly trafficked area for crossings.
"Rather than addressing Texas’s urgent requests for protection, President Biden has authorized DHS to send a threatening letter through its lawyers," Paxton wrote. "But Texas has lawyers, too, and I will continue to stand up for this State’s constitutional powers of self-defense."
Meyer had argued in his Sunday letter that Texas violated the Constitution and impeded the federal government's ability to detect border crossings and apprehend migrants entering the country illegally.

This is what happens when radical Democrats facilitate policies that are meant to bring harm to American citizens in border states. Texans have had enough it seems. So what's next, Joe?
