At least ten Governors have expressed public support for Texas Governor Greg Abbott’s showdown with the federal government over illegal aliens.
Making a statement of support is the rock-bottom minimum a Governor can do. If your Governor has not, contact their office or send them a note on social media politely urging them to do so.
This page will be updated if more governors make public statements of support.
Alabama:
Texas and the states have stepped up time and time again. The White House? Purposely absent. I have had enough.
