Twenty-five Republican governors are backing Texas Governor Greg Abbott’s audacious stand-off with the federal government over border issues, publicly pledging their support in a statement that reads: “We stand in solidarity with our fellow governor, Greg Abbott, and the State of Texas in utilizing every tool and strategy, including razor wire fences, to secure the border.”
