Texas Land Commissioner George P. Bush said Friday 'Texans have had enough' with the historic surge of illegal immigration, smuggling of drugs, and illegal activity in border communities.
Bush explained what would change by declaring the influx an "invasion" and applauded Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich for "leading the charge" on the issue.
"The next step in this process is for our current attorney general to draft an advisory opinion to this effect and for the governor to step forward and have that flexibility, that statutory authority that he has to further strengthen not only our border, but to back our law enforcement officials who are hamstrung and unable to enforce federal immigration law," said Bush.
Bush, the son of former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, said Texas needs to step up to secure the border if the federal government will not. "If this president is actively going to work against law and order, it has to rest on the states to do the job."Migrants are staying in packed shelters in the border town of Tijuana, waiting for Title 42 to be lifted on May 23.
