Governor Kristi Noem of South Dakota expressed support for Texas in defying the Biden administration to protect the southern border.
She emphasized the need for Texas to enforce state law and constitutional rights to safeguard state sovereignty.
Noem highlighted the dangerous situation at the border, describing it as a “war zone” and stressing the inhumanity of current policies, citing issues such as drug trafficking and human suffering.
“You and two dozen other Republican governors wrote a letter expressing solidarity with Texas urging the state to use every tool and strategy, including razor wire fence, to secure the border. A lot of people interpreted that to mean you think Texas should defy the Supreme Court and stop federal agents from removing the razor wire,” Dana Bash said.
“Do you think Texas should do that? Should they defy the Supreme Court?”
“Texas should stand their ground. They should enforce their state law and go back to the constitutional rights that they have been granted to protect their state’s sovereignty. That’s what so many of as governors are offended by,” Noem said.
She also mentioned deploying her National Guard to support Texas and emphasized the need to halt inhumane policies related to open border practices.
“Democrats were threatening to encourage the president to activate our guards in order to get them to stand down and not protect our states. It’s a dangerous situation. It’s a war zone at our southern border. I’m proud of what Texas has done, proud to stand with them. I deployed my National Guard down there three times, and we will do what we can to help them support and defend their people. It’s the inhumanity of the policies happening right now is striking,” Noem said.
“You see women suffering. Drug trafficking, human trafficking that’s happening because of the open border policies. It’s inhumane. It needs to stop.”
