Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick (R-TX) isn’t mincing words when it comes to President Joe Biden’s meddling at the Texas-Mexico border. Patrick, a fierce defender of his state’s sovereignty, appeared on the Ingraham Angle to call out Biden for obstructing Texas’ efforts to secure the border. The Supreme Court’s recent ruling that gave the federal government the power to remove barbed wire along the Texas-Mexico border was met with Patrick’s unapologetic critique of the Biden administration’s role in the ordeal.
According to Patrick, Texas has been effectively implementing strategies to prevent illegal immigration and protect its citizens, but Biden’s interference is preventing them from accomplishing their mission. The audacity of the federal government’s actions to dismantle the barbed wire left Patrick seething, as he made it clear that Texas doesn’t need their intervention.

The ongoing clash between the Texas National Guard and Border Patrol agents is a direct result of Biden’s misguided policies and overreach. Patrick emphasized that Texas is meeting the challenges head-on and undertaking the necessary measures to safeguard the border. The installation of additional fences by the Texas National Guard is a clear indication of their commitment to fortifying the border against unlawful entry.
With U.S. Customs and Border Protection processing over 302,000 people at the U.S.-Mexico border in December alone, and an alarming 10 million immigrants reported to have entered unlawfully since Biden took office, the situation at the border has reached unprecedented levels. This surge in illegal crossings has put immense pressure on border security and local communities, yet Biden’s administration seems to be exacerbating the crisis rather than addressing it.
The escalating conflict between Texas and the federal government is a testament to Biden’s failure to uphold law and order at the border. Patrick’s unwavering stance to protect Texas and American lives from the repercussions of Biden’s misguided approach reflects the state’s resilience in the face of federal overreach. As the showdown intensifies, it’s evident that Texas won’t back down in the fight to defend its sovereignty against the federal government’s detrimental policies.
