Noem is first governor to declare invasion before state legislature<\/a><\/p>\n

(The Center Square) \u2013 When South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem declared an invasion before the state legislature, she became the first governor in modern history to do so.<\/p>\n

Texas Gov. Sam Houston referred to an invasion being fought on two fronts before the Texas legislature in 1860, The Center Square first\u00a0reported<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

While Gov. Greg Abbott has invoked constitutional clauses, he has not declared an invasion or laid out the constitutional authority of Texas\u2019 right to self-defense before the Texas legislature. As he\u2019s issued executive orders and sent letters to President Joe Biden\u00a0citing<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0Texas\u2019 constitutional right to self-defense, 55 Texas counties have passed\u00a0invasion resolutions<\/a><\/strong> and 60 have issued disaster declarations, citing the border crisis.<\/p>\n

Last month, Noem spoke before the South Dakota legislature to specifically address the southern border crisis. She said, \u201cNearly 10 million foreign nationals have broken federal law and they’ve infiltrated our country within the past three years bringing with them drugs, trafficking, crime, and violence,\u201d creating a national security crisis. While American history is \u201cproudly built on the stories of our ancestors who came to this country for opportunity and for a new beginning,\u201d she said, \u201ctoday, many of those who are entering our country under the current policies of the Biden administration are known terrorists. They’re criminals, they’re human traffickers, and they’re drug cartel members.\u201d<\/p>\n

Because of Biden\u2019s policies, \u201cpeople from over a hundred different countries have heard the story of our open border,\u201d she said. \u201cCountries such as Venezuela are known to be emptying out their prisons and their mental institutions, and they’re sending them to America.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cSouth Dakota is directly affected by this invasion,\u201d she continued. \u201cWe are affected by cartel presence right here on our tribal reservations, by the spread of drugs and human trafficking throughout our communities and by the drain on our resources at the local, the state, and the federal level.\u201d<\/p>\n

Noem\u00a0reiterated<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0a point made by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis that when delegates ratified the U.S. Constitution, they \u201cwould not have done so if they did not have the power to defend themselves.\u201d DeSantis referred to the Guarantee and Self-Defense clauses of the U.S. Constitution, which Abbott has\u00a0cited<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0in executive orders and Texas counties have cited in invasion resolutions.<\/p>\n
