The ongoing border crisis has reached a boiling point, and surprise, surprise, it’s the states along the Southwestern border bearing the brunt of the Biden-Harris administration’s apparent inability to protect America’s sovereignty. States like Texas and Arizona are regularly in the news for being ground zero in this chaos, where the headlines rarely shy away from the alarming violence inflicted upon American citizens by a relentless influx of criminals—many of whom have been imported from the darkest corners of the globe. It’s almost as if these crimes are happening under the watchful eye of an administration that has prioritized open borders over the safety of its own citizens.
Amid this turmoil, the voting integrity in these border states is increasingly under siege. In Arizona, the legal framework designates that anyone claiming to be an American can, without proof of citizenship, receive a federal-only ballot. This lax approach to voter registration raises serious alarms, as it opens the door to potential voter fraud, a concern that is no longer just a theoretical debate but a pressing legal conundrum likely headed for the Supreme Court. With this administration’s feeble efforts, one has to wonder just how far they are willing to go in undermining the democratic process.

Meanwhile, Texas is attempting to clean up the mess without any help from Washington. The state has taken matters into its own hands, launching several lawsuits against the Biden administration’s Department of Justice and the Department of Homeland Security. Governor Greg Abbott and Attorney General Ken Paxton are standing firm even in the face of legal challenges. Notably, Texas has racked up some significant wins, reaffirming their commitment to uphold the law in the Lone Star State. These victories are not just legal milestones; they symbolize a rebellion against federal overreach that many Texans believe has been damaging their way of life.
On the electoral front, the potential for voter fraud looms large and AG Paxton is not going to let it slide. His office has pledged to investigate allegations of organizations registering non-citizens to vote, operating under the guise of “helping” eligible voters. This blatant attempt to manipulate election outcomes by exploiting the weaknesses in the voter registration process is unacceptable. If a citizen can register to vote at a Department of Public Safety office, then why the need for additional registration outside of that established process? The very act of organizing outside booths reeks of a scheme not just to register voters but to disrupt the electoral system itself.
In the final analysis, the law is clear: only United States citizens have the right to vote. Any attempt to register or vote by non-citizens is a crime and must be dealt with severely. Paxton’s commitment to investigating these claims is commendable. Texas is sending a clear message that it will enforce its laws and protect its electoral integrity. If this administration continues on its path of lax immigration policies and negligence, states will have no choice but to be the guardians of their own democracy.
