(DailyWire) A House Republican said this week he is introducing legislation to stop the federal government from removing barriers constructed by the states to prevent illegal immigration at the U.S.-Mexico border.
Rep. Mike Collins (R-GA) announced the Restricting Administration Zealots from Obliging Raiders (RAZOR) Act on Wednesday after a Supreme Court decision allowed the Biden administration to temporarily dismantle razor wire installed by Texas while a legal fight brought by the state continues to play out.
“Today, I’m introducing the RAZOR Act. This bill would ban the federal government from removing Texas or any other state’s border barriers. If the Supreme Court won’t allow states to defend their sovereignty and our nation, Congress has a moral imperative to act,” Collins said in a post to X.
“President Biden is aiding and abetting illegal aliens who are swarming our border and raiding our country’s resources,” Collins added in a statement. “Why else would he try to stop the state of Texas from turning them back to Mexico? With the Supreme Court siding with the America Last policies of the Biden administration, Congress must stand with Governor Greg Abbott as he fights for the sovereignty of his state and our nation.”
Since announcing the RAZOR Act, Collins has posted to X a number of times thanking various GOP colleagues for co-sponsoring the legislation.
