“This is a Fight for the Future of America”: Texas Gov. Tells Tucker He’s “Prepared” for Conflict with Feds

‘We will continue to do exactly what we’re doing to expand our denial of illegal entry into the state of Texas,’ says governor.

Texas Governor Greg Abbott (R) has indicated he will stand his ground against the Biden Administration, telling Tucker Carlson he’s “prepared” to put up a fight over his state’s right to defend its borders.

In an interview released on X Friday, Abbott told Carlson it would be foolish of Biden to attempt to nationalize the Texas National Guard, as has been proposed by radical Democrats.

“Well, first I’ll be shocked,” Abbott admitted, adding, “That would be a boneheaded move on his part. A total disaster.

“For one, as you might imagine, we are prepared in the event that that unlikely event does occur to make sure that we will be able to continue exactly what we’ve been doing over the past month and that is building these barriers. And whether it be the concertina wire or other anti-climbing border barriers, whatever we’ve been building, the Biden administration is now trying to attack us because of it. And we will continue to do exactly what we’re doing to expand our denial of illegal entry into the state of Texas,” the governor declared.

Abbott added he’s already deployed numerous armed law enforcement agents to the southern border, along with the Texas National Guard and “National Guard from other states,” a force he anticipates will expand in the near future.

“We do have other armed state employees on the border as we speak right this minute and that’s the Texas Department of Public Safety, as well as other law enforcement officers (LEO), as well as National Guard from other states, and you can be assured there will be more National Guard from other states and more law enforcement officers within the state of Texas and other states,” Abbott stated, adding a law he signed authorizing LEOs in Texas to arrest illegals goes into effect on March 5.

The Texas governor went on to explain he’d spoken with puppet President Joe Biden directly on the border issue, and that the president’s dereliction of duty to protect Texas borders has triggered the governor’s constitutional authority to act.

“He [Biden] has refused to ever respond,” Abbott said. “We have laid down the precursor of what’s called Article 4, Section 4 of the United States Constitution to show that we have been invaded, and we have demanded support from the president to safeguard our state, and they have refused to do so eight times, and that authorized me to declare an invasion under Article 1, Section 10, of the Constitution to make sure that Texas is going to be able to use every tool in our arsenal to defend our state.”

Abbott invoked America’s Founding Fathers in a statement earlier this week explaining the US Constitution allows for Texas to defend its sovereignty.

Asked what comes next, Abbott acknowledged he intends to continue erecting barriers to prevent illegal entry into his state.

“Texas is going to continue to expand the border barriers that we are erecting, the razor wire that we’re putting up, and to continue to gain control of more land over the coming month,” the governor said.

“I believe however that this will all come to an end on January the 20th of next year because I believe a new president will be sworn in a president who will actually enforce the immigration laws of the entire country,” he predicted.

“And we will have safe and secure borders once again because we will have a president who actually will enforce the laws of the United States of America.”

Abbott’s comments come as the Republican governors of 25 states have pledged to back the Lone Star State in its feud with Biden.
