Senate Republicans Send Letter to President Biden on Texas Border Emergency
Raleigh, N.C. – Republicans in the North Carolina Senate sent a letter to President Biden regarding his obstruction of Texas Gov. Greg Abbott's ability to guard the southern border. See the full letter below:
"Since taking office, your policies and derelict leadership have left border states helpless in securing the southern border. Your failures have resulted in a full-scale emergency, with states like Texas having no choice but to fend for themselves. Instead of offering assistance to our southern border states, your administration has gone out of its way to obstruct efforts by Texas to guard illegal points of entry.
"As elected officials in the North Carolina Senate, we know firsthand the consequences of your failure to secure the border. We wrote to Secretary Mayorkas last April highlighting the surge in drug overdoses in North Carolina caused by your open-border policies, and we asked for action. Since then, the situation has only gotten worse. Clearly, our call went unanswered.
"We are writing to call on your administration to stop thwarting Texas from effectively guarding the southern border. The United States is facing a national security crisis with real threats of crime, drug trafficking, and terrorism. North Carolina stands with Texas and it’s time your administration stops impeding Gov. Greg Abbott from protecting his state and our nation."
