Babin: National Day of Prayer ​​​​​​​

Texas Republicans United for Border Security

Texas Insider Report: WASHINGTON, D.C. – Our country celebrated the 75^th anniversary of the official National Day of Prayer last week. I couldn’t be prouder to be a part of a nation that believes in the intrinsic value of its people. Every other government system demands a higher power and ruler, except for a democracy. Our system was built on the belief that God is the ultimate authority, creating man and woman in His image, with dignity.

This still rings true today. “We hold these truths to be self-evident that all men are created equal…” is the opening line of the most foundational document of our country. Our founders knew that if this didn’t set the precedent for everything, we would quickly crumble. There are some wild ideas and opinions in our nation today, and a lot of them I don’t agree with, but that doesn’t diminish the value of those who hold them.

Texas Republicans United for Border Security
For four years under the Biden Administration, Texans witnessed an unprecedented crisis unfold at our southern border. Nearly 15 million illegal aliens crossed into our country while deadly fentanyl poured into our communities, cartel activity surged, and violent criminals exploited open-border policies that put politics ahead of public safety.

That is why I joined my colleagues in the Texas GOP Caucus to support H.Res. 50, a resolution affirming the constitutional authority of states to defend themselves when the federal government refuses to do its job.

The resolution reinforces protections already outlined in the Constitution, including Article IV, Section 4, which requires the federal government to protect states from invasion, and Article I, Section 10, which recognizes states’ authority to defend themselves when facing imminent danger.

Texans should never again be left defenseless while Washington fails to secure the border. Our law enforcement officers, Border Patrol agents, ranchers, and border communities carried the burden of this crisis firsthand, and they deserve leaders who will stand with them.

Under President Trump’s leadership, America is finally restoring law and order at the southern border. Illegal crossings have fallen to historic lows, cartels are being aggressively targeted, and border enforcement is once again being taken seriously.

But Texans know we cannot allow another future administration to drag this country back into the chaos and lawlessness we experienced over the last four years. I will always stand with Texas, support our law enforcement officers and Border Patrol agents, and fight to secure the border of the greatest nation on Earth.
