EXCLUSIVE — A group of House Republicans is warning President Joe Biden against federalizing the Texas National Guard as the Lone Star State seeks to crack down on the surge of illegal immigration, arguing that doing so would be a constitutional violation.
In a letter sent to the president on Thursday, two dozen Republicans urged the president not to agree to demands from Democratic lawmakers calling on Biden to seize control of the Texas National Guard amid a dispute over the handling of the southern border. The group of Republicans, led by Rep. Randy Weber (R-TX), warned that doing so would be unconstitutional and urged Biden to cooperate with Texas Republicans to secure the border.
