Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody is backing Texas and sending a strong message to the federal government: enforce public safety immigration laws or allow states to defend their own borders.
More than six million illegal aliens have crossed the southern border since President Biden took office, accounting for roughly the combined population of Iowa and Utah.
Even worse than turning a blind eye to the unprecedented invasion at the southern border, which includes record illegal immigration, a flood of lethal drugs, an influx of human trafficking, and increased encounters with terror watchlist members, the Biden administration has actively exacerbated the crisis.

In just one month, Border Patrol agents acting on Biden’s orders cut Texas’ border defense wires more than 20 times. In one case, Border Patrol used a forklift to raise the wire and let in over 300 illegal immigrants.
“Texas is fighting for the sovereignty of their state and this nation. I, along with 25 other state attorneys general, am sending a message to Biden and Mayorkas: if you cannot bring yourselves to enforce the law, get out of the way so the states can,” Moody said in a statement.
Moody and a coalition of 26 other states demand that the Biden administration either enforce the laws that secure the southern border or allow states like Texas to stop the invasion themselves.
