Third-Party presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. shared his thoughts on X this week regarding the ongoing border battle between President Biden and Texas Governor Greg Abbott.
And RFK is with Abbott.
“Texas is right. Biden’s failure to secure the border leaves states no choice but to take matters into their own hands,” Kennedy stated in a post on X. “As President, I will end this humanitarian crisis once and for all. I will secure the border and destroy the business model of the drug cartels. A country without borders is not a country at all.”

From NEWSMAX:
Kennedy’s endorsement adds to a growing list of politicians supporting Abbott’s efforts to resist federal intervention. The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday dealt a setback to Abbott, ruling in favor of the Biden administration and allowing border agents to dismantle the razor wire installed by Texas.
Abbott, a Republican, defended the fencing, contending that he was compelled to take action due to what he perceives as the Biden administration’s inaction. The federal government, however, argued that the state lacks the authority to construct such barriers, asserting that it impedes their ability to manage border affairs.
On Wednesday, Abbott issued a statement accusing the federal government of violating the constitutional agreement on border security with the states, The Hill reported.
Abbott wrote, “The Executive Branch of the United States has a constitutional duty to enforce federal laws protecting States, including immigration laws on the books right now.”
Meanwhile, 25 governors from across the country have expressed their support for Abbott in his fight for the right to defend the Lone Star State.
