'Is sanity returning?' States vowing support for Texas quickly grows, with some notable exceptions

Texas Governor Greg Abbott’s mission to curb the massive influx of illegal immigrants pouring across the southern border is growing across America.

After being dealt a blow from the Supreme Court that allows federal agents to remove razor wire that was erected by Texas to halt the seemingly endless flow of migrants, Abbott declared that the Lone Star State would not be deterred.

Several states announced support for the defiant governor early on, and many more have joined the growing coalition seeking to protect the United States and its citizens from a relentless influx of unknown and unvetted people from across the world.

Fox News’ Bill Melguin has been covering border chaos in-depth and is keeping track of what states are announcing support. The current list includes states, Florida, Virginia, Georgia, North Dakota, Tennessee, Alabama, Montana, Idaho, Utah, West Virginia, Oklahoma, Nebraska, Louisiana, and Arkansas.

Update: Arkansas now added to the list. https://t.co/rHQVGyeU7c

And, just during the time of this writing, Iowa added its support as well!

Now Iowa as well. https://t.co/XT2yTmusWE

The growing list is encouraging news for Americans who want a safe and sovereign nation, but there are some notable absences on that list. At least, thus far.

Complaints from so-called ‘sanctuary states’ and cities have been rising as migrants have been showing up in droves. City and state leaders have been begging for federal help and demanding a halt to a massive burden on their communities.

Well, here’s their chance to try to do something without the feds!

But let’s face it, no one will hold their breath for places like New York and Illinois to send Texas support or even voice it since it goes against the Democrat narrative.

In the meantime, many Americans are relieved to see some sort of action:

This is excellent! I admire the solidarity with the state of Texas.

I am happy to see so many states supporting Texas. The Biden administration is just encouraging and enabling this border invasion and any Republican who goes along with Biden’s mismanagement of this country needs to be fired!

The states that keep crying about being burdened with taking care of the influx of illegals (NY/IL I’m talking to you), are ignoring the dire situation at the border. It’s as if they enjoy the pain they are inflicting on their constituents.
