Much of the uncertainty moving forward comes from the lack of precedent set by the courts,<br />
previously ruling in Barber v. United States that the Invasion Clause was a nonjusticiable<br />
political question. However, in Boyd v. United States Justice, Joseph Bradley articulated the<br />
“essence of the offence,” an unconstitutional violation of the Fourth Amendment, was an<br />
“invasion of his indefeasible right of personal security, personal liberty and private property.”<br />
By delineating invasion of privacy as multifaceted, the southern border crisis can be applied.<br />
With Texans having their personal safety threatened, land and property burglarized, and their<br />
ability to defend themselves limited, are they not facing a similar persecution?<br />
As the court explained, “the principles laid down in this opinion affect the very essence of<br />
constitutional liberty.” As expressed in California v. United States, the situation involves “matters<br />
of foreign policy and defense” which are issues the courts have been “reluctant to consider.” The<br />
time for disinclination is over.<br />
Lastly, The Import-Export clause of Article I Section X, Clause II, recognizes states’ sovereign<br />
authority when “ absolutely necessary for executing its inspection Laws.” Abbott has directed DPS<br />
to conduct enhanced inspections of vehicles as they cross ports of entry into Texas, mitigating<br />
the transport of illegal goods; however, without the full ability to detain or deport, state agents<br />
are limited.<br />
A team of Heritage Foundation experts has urged states to use “all lawful tools” to address the<br />
“incalculable” suffering caused by the southern border crisis. It is evident the atrocities occurring<br />
at the border constitute an invasion, threatening the safety, security, and prosperity of the<br />
American people. With the Biden administration failing to fulfill its duty to the American people,<br />
it is evident that the state of Texas must pull itself up by its bootstraps and utilize its<br />
constitutionally vested ability to defend its citizens.<br />

conservative politics.<br />
