Arizona gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake eyes invasion declaration, sweeping border moves if elected
Fox News ^ | August 20, 2022 | Adam Shaw

Arizona gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake is promising to declare an "invasion" at the southern border if elected to lead the state in November, one of a number of aggressive moves she intends to take to combat the raging migrant crisis.

This is the biggest invasion we've ever had on our homeland since the founding of this country," Lake told Fox News Digital in an interview. "And so we're going to call it what it is.

"It's also important to call it what it is for our policy as well. We're going to be invoking our inherent powers under Article I, Section 10 of the U.S. Constitution to defend ourselves from the invasion in lieu of the federal government reneging on their guarantees to protect us under the Guarantee Clause, Article IV, Section IV.

Abbott should have done this 2 years ago, but he is an establishment guy and doesn’t really want to do anything.

Hmmmm, is she REALLY going to do this if elected, or is she just telling people what they want to hear so she can get elected and do nothing like the rest of the republicans?

Gee, you’re right. Arizonans better vote for her Democrat opponent. Or don’t vote, which helps her Democrat opponent by taking a vote away from Lake. /s

Florida has no border with Mexico and Abbott hasn’t done squat aside from making TX citizens pay for busing 0.1% of them North.

I pray she’s got protection because the cartel is not a respecter of people. If they see their gateway to making millions and millions of dollars being shut they will get rid of that person lickety quick! Does anyone know if she has security around her? The cartel has its longer finger nails in AZ! Lord put a hedge of protection around her

Yep! The bus thing was for optics. He has so many tools at his disposal . It’s so sad that you think that he would use all that insanity at the border to get him super super reelected but he’s not. He’s doing diddly squat! Heck they’re even opening gates for the invaders to pour in! They have gotten so brazen they are asking the patrol agents to carry their luggage across the threshold...INCREDIBLE!!

So now Fox News is actually saying Kari Lake's name...

They're STILL saying "Trump-endorsed candidate" for Harriet Hageman: "Liz Cheney was beaten by a Trump-endorsed candidate."

Florida is a border state due to their coast. Federal regulations give U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) authority to operate within 100 miles of any U.S. "external boundary". Anybody expecting a R to do anything about immigration and the border is a fool. The Republic was sold out years ago.

This has been bipartisan policy for 30 years.

Trump was the only one who wanted to stop it.

Both parties cheated him out to keep it going.
