How Can the Invasion on the Border Be Stopped?

The southern border of the United States was breached by invaders two years ago when Joe Biden became POTUS, and the invasion has grown to more than six million people entering the United States illegally. On Thursday, May 11, 2023, Title 42 will go away, and the thousands of people waiting in Mexico will enter the United States. Daniel Horowitz wrote the following information about the invasion. 

It’s unparalleled in human history. No other sovereign nation has ever voluntarily invited millions upon millions of invaders, primarily young men, to line up at the border and march into the country. With over 140,000 estimated illegal aliens just in the past two weeks (which would be an annual flow of 3.7 million) – even before the official rescission of Title 42 on Thursday – we are out of time to stop this invasion through traditional means. Without control of the federal executive branch, we have no way of directly forcing the DHS to do its job, and we cannot afford to wait until 2025. Republican-controlled states are the only way to immediately stop this invasion.

Most of the opposition against Biden’s border policies has come from congressional Republicans. Indeed, the House is passing a bill this week requiring Biden, among other things, to repel those attempting to enter our country without using asylum as a subterfuge to override our sovereignty. However, lawmakers don’t have the votes in the Senate, and even if they did, the DHS will continue doing what it wants.

This is where the states come into play. The Compact Clause of the Constitution implies that states can even raise an army to repel an invasion when necessary, if the federal government is not capable of defending them. In this case, the federal government is breaking the social compact with the states and is downright orchestrating and inviting the invasion.

House Republicans are doing what they can to stop the invasion, but they cannot do much without support from the Senate and the White House. The only hope to save our nation on the immigration front sits on the shoulders of Republican governors in Red States.
