Was Texas' SB4 blocked to PRESERVE the Biden admin's partnership with cartels?



Texas immigration law SB4 gives the state power to secure the border and deport illegal immigrants to Mexico — since the federal government is refusing to do so.

While the Supreme Court allowed the law to remain in effect while the Biden administration challenges it, the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals has decided to stop it.

“Yesterday, the Supreme Court said Texas can begin arresting, and then, I get up this morning and the appellate court says, ‘No, no, no, not so fast,’” Glenn Beck says to Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton.

Paxton is completely floored by the decision.

“I’ve never seen anything like it; I don’t understand it,” Paxton tells Glenn, adding, “it’s bizarre.”

“What we have going on here is a whole lot of harm. We have crime, we have killers, we have just an invasion of our border,” Glenn says. “It should be that the court should say, ‘No, no, no, let them arrest until we look at everything. Instead, the harm that is being perceived, I guess by the court, is to the illegal alien.”

Paxton believes it's not just illegal immigrants who the court is afraid of harming.

“Yes, to the illegal aliens and to the Biden administration’s partnership with cartels, that’s the harm. We are harming the cartel relationship, and I don’t know how else to put it,” Paxton says.

“If the court defends this, if they block us from enforcing legitimate path law by the legislature signed by the governor, then they are saying, ‘We want to protect any harm that might come to the illegal immigrants and to the Biden administration’s work with the cartels,’” Paxton adds.

Biden bans liquid natural gas exports for 'climate-related' reasons, but Ken Paxton says it's retaliation for border battle



Texas is refusing to back down and hand over control of Shelby Park in Eagle Pass, Texas, to federal authorities.

President Biden then banned all new liquid natural gas export approvals, claiming this was a climate-related decision — not a way to retaliate and hurt Texas’ economy.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton tells Glenn Beck that he has “no doubt” that this was meant to hurt Texas, not help the climate.

“There’s no doubt in my mind they were probably enjoying the fact that it would hurt the Texas economy, but I also think that’s what the border is about,” Paxton says.

While Paxton believes the long-term goal is to allow immigrants into Texas in order to change the way the red state votes, the rest of what the administration is doing is hurting the Texas economy anyway.

“What they’re doing is bringing people into our state so that we have higher costs. We have law enforcement costs, health care costs, we have education costs, and they know that,” he explains.

“I think they’re doing their best to damage and harm in any way possible, even if it means high crime in the Republican states,” he continues, adding that while it “sounds so conspiratorial,” he can see what they’re doing.

“It’s not like a secret; it’s all out in the open,” he adds.

Glenn is in agreement with Paxton, adding, “This is what a constitutional crisis looks like.”

Greg Abbott's statement on Texas' right to self-defense is so good, it should be framed next to 'victory or death' Alamo letter



As a border state, Texas takes the brunt of the illegal immigration crisis we’re experiencing in our country. The Biden administration, or, in the words of Sara Gonzales, the Biden “regime,” has disregarded immigration laws and welcomed millions of illegal aliens into the nation at the expense of the American people.

Back in December, Biden threatened to sue Texas if it implemented an immigration law called SB4 that would allow state and local law enforcement to arrest and prosecute those entering the country illegally.

Texas didn’t comply, choosing to exercise its Constitutional right to self-defense, and now, Biden is moving forward with the lawsuit. On Monday, the Supreme Court ruled that federal border agents be permitted to cut and remove razor wire Texas had set up to prevent illegal crossings.

The fact that the Biden administration “has the audacity to sue in this matter really should tell you what they think of you ... how they prioritize you and your safety as an American citizen,” says Sara.

In response to Biden’s unabashed breach of constitutional law, Texas Governor Greg Abbott issued a statement declaring, “Texas’s constitutional authority to defend and protect itself,” which “is the supreme law of the land and supersedes any federal statutes.”

According to Jason Buttrill, Abbott’s letter is so compelling, “it should be framed right next to [Lt. Colonel William Barret Travis’ letter]” in which he vowed to fight for Texas’ sovereignty until “victory or death.”

Abbott’s statement “could be copied to every other red state ... that's sick of the bullcrap, that's sick of crime going unpunished,” Jason tells Sara, adding that they’re going to come after other rights as well, including those outlined in the First and Second Amendments.

“This is the way through ... to say that the states are sovereign. There is a federal law of the land, but if you will not enforce it, you give us no choice; we will go our own way [and] screw you if we have to.”

Sara is encouraged by Abbott’s response as well, considering thus far he’s been “weak in action at the border.”

“It’s time to fight fire with fire,” she says, and we “have the constitutional authority to do so.”

‘Installing more barriers’: Texas SLAMS SCOTUS razor wire ruling



The Supreme Court has ruled that the Biden administration may continue to cut the razor wire at the Texas southern border.

But Texas isn’t giving up the fight.

“State of Texas, you know, we’re not backing down,” Texas Department of Public Safety spokesperson Lt. Chris Olivarez tells Glenn Beck.

“I just got back from Eagle Pass last night to kind of get a rundown of what’s happening and what’s going to take place with this whole Supreme Court decision, and nothing has changed, at least on our end, with DPS and National Guard,” he explains.

The National Guard is still installing more barriers along the river to discourage illegal border crossings.

“I love this,” Glenn responds, noting that the government is creating the narrative that people like Olivarez are “making it more difficult for them to do their job,” though he’s “not sure what their job is.”

Olivarez believes what the federal government is doing is “trying to create this divide between federal agencies and the state” and “create some type of conflict that’s nonexistent.”

Meanwhile, illegal immigrants who have possible terrorist ties are walking freely across the border.

“You can only imagine the type of people that are in our country right now,” Olivarez says, adding, “the threat is already here.”
