TOPEKA, Kan. ( KSNT ) – The Kansas House has passed a resolution supporting Texas in its illegal immigration battle.
On Wednesday, GOP members of the Kansas House are standing in solidarity with Texas and encouraging Governor Laura Kelly to offer Kansas National Guard troops to Texas after passing House Resolution 6035.
“Millions of individuals have entered our country illegally due to the failures of the Biden Administration, posing a threat to national security, a rise in human trafficking and smuggling, and releasing a deadly influx of fentanyl into our communities,” Republican leadership said in a joint statement. “By prohibiting Texas from defending its border, the Biden administration has accelerated and exacerbated these safety concerns to crisis level. We encourage Governor Laura Kelly to join us and stand with Texas to provide any needed support to the Governor of Texas as it protects its citizens and rightfully defends its southern border.”
The resolution requires the Chief Clerk of the House of Representatives to send enrolled copies to the Governor of Texas, the Speaker of the Texas House of Representatives, Governor Kelly, and Representatives Daniel Hawkins and Pat Proctor.
