State Governors' Constitutional Right to Repel Invasion at Southern Border.

This Senate Resolution asserts that the massive, unlawful movement across the southern border, coupled with cartel activity and crime, constitutes a constitutional "invasion." Consequently, the resolution expresses the sense that state governors possess the authority to independently take action to repel this threat. Citizens might see increased state-level security measures but also potential legal conflicts between state and federal immigration enforcement.
Key points
The Senate finds that current border activity meets the constitutional definition of "invasion," justifying state self-defense measures.
State Governors are affirmed to have the power to act as Commander-in-Chief to secure their borders against this perceived threat.
The resolution highlights the significant financial burden on taxpayers (estimated $150.7 billion annually) and the increase in drug and human smuggling operations.
