Arizona Republican gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake vowed during her election campaign to declare an invasion to secure the state’s border with Mexico if elected.
One week after the election, Lake is in a battle with Maricopa County officials over the vote count after media on Monday projected her Democratic opponent to be the winner.
But newly reelected Texas Gov. Greg Abbott is taking action in his state, invoking the Invasion Clauses of the U.S. and Texas constitutions to declare illegal immigration from Mexico as an invasion.
The governor said via Twitter on Tuesday that he has “fully authorize Texas to take unprecedented measures to defend our state against an invasion.”
Will this presidential election be the most important in American history?
During the 2022 calendar year, according to the U.S. Customs and Border Protection, agents have recorded nearly 2.1 million encounters at the Mexico border.
In July, Abbott stopped short of declaring the crossings an invasion in an executive order that directed state law enforcement to “apprehend illegal immigrants who illegally cross the border between ports of entry and return them to the border.”
In his tweet Tuesday, he said the following steps would be taken:
- Deploy the National Guard to safeguard the border, and to repel and turn back immigrants trying to cross the border illegally
- Deploy the Texas Dept. of Public Safety (DPS) to arrest and return immigrants to the border who crossed illegally, and to arrest illegal immigrants for criminal activity;
- Build a wall in multiple counties on the border;
Deploy gun boats; - Designate Mexican drug cartels as foreign terrorist organizations;
- Enter into a compact with other states to secure the border;
- Enter into agreements with foreign powers to enhance border security;
- Provide resources for border counties to increase their efforts to respond to the “border invasion.”

EDITOR’S NOTE: Leftwing billionaire George Soros bankrolls everything evil – most recently the 75 pro-criminal “Soros district attorneys” who have transformed America’s most dynamic cities into degraded, crime-infested hellscapes of skyrocketing violent crime. Soros also funds drug legalization, euthanasia, open borders, globalism, Black Lives Matter, “defunding the police,” devaluing America’s currency and destroying her sovereignty. But why?
Whistleblower magazine reveals and explores the stunning truth: Soros, an atheist, literally says he’s “some kind of god,” obsessed with re-creating the world in his image. Here are a few actual quotes from Soros: “If truth be known, I carried some rather potent messianic fantasies with me from childhood…” “It is a sort of disease when you consider yourself some kind of god, the creator of everything, but I feel comfortable about it now since I began to live it out.” “You know, in my personal capacity I’m not actually a selfless philanthropic person. I’ve very much self-centered.” “I am kind of a nut who wants to have an impact.” “Next to my fantasies about being God, I also have very strong fantasies of being mad. … I have a lot of madness in my family. So far I have escaped it.”
Except he hasn’t “escaped it.” Not only is Soros totally mad, but he’s imposing his insanity on America. See Soros and the leftwing world he has created and funded as never before in “THE BILLIONAIRE WHO THINKS HE’S ‘GOD’: Why George Soros is obsessed with destroying America.”
