The Biden administration’s decision to sell off border wall materials once intended for securing the southern border has raised eyebrows, but the state of Texas has flexed its legal muscles and blocked this bizarre initiative. It seems even the Lone Star State can’t let the White House dismantle border security without a fight.
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton touted this legal battle as a major victory, declaring that the administration would not dispose of any more border wall materials before President Trump is back in the Oval Office. Paxton proclaimed that the legal victory is crucial to holding the Biden administration accountable for what he describes as efforts to undermine national border security, especially given their eagerness to thwart Trump’s immigration agenda. It’s almost as if the White House believes that ignoring the laws on the books is a legitimate form of governance.

In what can only be described as a win for sanity, President-elect Trump also celebrated the court’s decision. He quickly took to his Truth Social platform to congratulate Texas’s legal push, emphasizing that the ruling is a pivotal step towards restoring national security. Trump pointed out the broader implications of the judge’s ruling, suggesting it could expose the alleged corruption of the Democratic Party as they seem hell-bent on sabotaging border security initiatives, which are crucial for protecting the American people from crime and drug trafficking.
Furthermore, this case is not just a simple legal skirmish; Trump’s attorneys have thrown their hat in the ring by submitting an amicus brief, asserting that the Biden administration’s actions could be criminal. They posited that if officials are deliberately selling border wall materials at a loss in a bid to obstruct Trump’s pro-wall policies, then they might be engaging in conspiracy to defraud the United States. Now that’s a counterattack that many Americans can get behind, especially from a legal perspective that aims to uphold integrity.
Even Republican Senator John Cornyn from Texas chimed in on the debacle, expressing impatience for January 20, when Trump is expected to get back to enforcing laws that Biden has shown little interest in upholding. It seems many in Texas are eager to turn the tide on this administration’s border antics, which have been characterized by a bewildering disregard for the immediate dangers facing the nation.
This situation serves as a reminder that while the power players in Washington may be trying to undermine the very foundation of border security, states like Texas are ready to step up and defend their rights against what appears to be a reckless agenda. With ongoing investigations into the legality of the Biden administration’s actions, Americans might just see a little justice yet, as they rally behind the efforts to restore a semblance of order at the border.
