RFK Jr. praises Texas in battle with Biden over border

Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on Thursday endorsed Texas in its ongoing battle with the federal government over border control and criticized the Biden administration for its handling of the U.S. southern border.

“Texas is right. Biden's failure to secure the border leaves states with no choice but to take matters into their own hands,” Kennedy said. I wrote it in X's post, formerly known as Twitter. “As President, I will end this humanitarian crisis once and for all. We will secure our borders and destroy the drug cartels' business model. A country without borders is not a country.”

Kennedy is among the politicians, most of them Republicans, who support Texas Governor Greg Abbott's (R) fight with the federal government over the fence and razor wire installed by Texas on the U.S.-Mexico border. Joining a growing list.

In a major blow to Mr. Abbott, the Supreme Court sided with the Biden administration earlier this week, ruling that Border Patrol agents can remove razor wire installed at the border.

Abbott has defended the fence as necessary for the state's security, arguing that a lack of action on the part of the Biden administration has forced him to take matters into his own hands. The federal government, on the other hand, argues that states do not have the authority to build fences, which they say interferes with border control.

Mr Abbott slammed the high court's ruling, insisting his authority was “the supreme law of the land and supersedes any federal law”.texas seemed to continue After the verdict was announced, razor wire was installed.

President Kennedy has previously spoken out against his views. “Border Crisis” This leads to drug and human smuggling.he It's called Biden's border policy. A Newsweek editorial last year called it a “disaster.”

Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley also endorsed Abbott on Thursday, calling Biden's position “absolutely ridiculous.”
