U.S. Senator Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) has expressed his support for the state of Texas in its efforts to secure its border with Mexico. The Biden Administration is currently suing Texas to halt these efforts. Senator Tuberville, along with Senator Roger Marshall (R-KS), joined forces to defend Texas' actions.

During a speech on the Senate floor, Senator Tuberville challenged his Democratic colleagues to visit the Southern Border in Texas and witness the ongoing crisis firsthand. He criticized the Biden Administration for actively trying to prevent Texas from protecting its border while simultaneously blaming Republicans for the border crisis.

Senator Tuberville also highlighted the issue of the border wall. He accused President Biden of refusing to build the wall and instead selling off the materials that taxpayers have already paid for. He described this as a betrayal of the American people and a disregard for their safety.

The senator emphasized the importance of the Constitution in this matter. He cited Article IV, Section 4, which states that the federal government must protect every state from invasion. He argued that Texas has the right to defend itself from the influx of illegal immigrants, drugs, gangs, and potential terrorists crossing the border.

Senator Tuberville backed his claims with alarming statistics. He stated that approximately 10,000 people are crossing the border daily, with the Biden Administration admitting to releasing 85% of them into the United States. He also pointed out that over 100,000 Americans die each year due to drugs brought over the Southern Border.

Highlighting the scale of the problem, Senator Tuberville revealed that there have been over 8 million illegal crossings since President Biden took office, surpassing the population of the country at the time of its founding. He believes that both the facts and the Constitution support Texas' efforts to protect its people.

While expressing confidence that the Supreme Court will uphold the Constitution in this matter, Senator Tuberville urged President Biden to take immediate action to address the crisis. He called on the president to stop destroying the border, cease the lawsuits against border states, halt the sale of the wall, and put an end to the invasion of the country.

In conclusion, Senator Tuberville stands firmly with Texas on border security. He believes that Texas has every right to protect its people and calls on President Biden to take responsibility and address the ongoing crisis at the Southern Border.

Senator Tommy Tuberville represents Alabama in the United States Senate and is a member of the Senate Armed Services, Agriculture, Veterans' Affairs, and HELP Committees.
