Kari Lake, a Republican running for governor of Arizona, reaffirmed her pledge to proclaim the border issue an “invasion” if she were to win.
According to Lake, who made an appearance on CBS’s “Face the Nation” on Sunday, the sheer volume of lethal fentanyl being carried across the border and the flood of illegal immigrants warranted such a classification. Lake said that she will utilize her power to enlist assistance from other states in order to help safeguard the border.
If you are familiar with the Constitution, you are aware that Article 4, Section 4 requires the federal government to defend us from invasion. However, Lake said that because of Joe Biden’s lack of leadership, this protection isn’t being provided. And the cartels, these narco-terrorist organizations with operational control, are invading our border. The most lethal narcotic we’ve ever seen, fentanyl, is also being trafficked through Arizona in addition to humans.
“In order to take care of and secure our own border,” she added, “we’re going to use our Article One, Section 10-authority. The Constitution says it right there in black and white. And given that there is an invasion, our citizens are in immediate danger, and time is of the essence, we satisfy all three requirements. There isn’t any time to waste. Therefore, we will solicit assistance from other states. I already have a few additional governors who are eager to pitch in.”
According to the Constitution’s Article 4, Section 4, “each of them shall be protected from Invasion” by the federal authority. In contrast, Article 1, Section 10 forbids individual states from “entering into any Agreement or Compact with another State, or with a foreign Power, or participating in War, unless actually attacked, or in such extreme Danger as will not permit any delay.”
Lake pledges to form an agreement with other border states to proclaim an invasion along the southern border and establish their right to secure it on the issues page of her campaign website.
“Make no mistake: thanks to ruthless multinational drug gangs operating within northern Mexico, this is an invasion, as evidenced by the over two million illegal immigrants apprehended in the past year and an additional estimated 400,000 who managed to elude border patrol personnel.”
An invasion has already been declared in four Texas border counties: Kinney, Goliad, Terrell, and Uvalde. In the same period, an NPR/Ipsos survey revealed that 53% of Americans thought it was “somewhat true” or “totally true” that the border issue amounted to a “invasion.”
Shoot to kill.
Some wise nations already do that….and HAVE done it for centuries. If these people want to go rogue on us, we need to take the same barbaric measures to protect out innocent citizens. Along with drugs, comes crime! If they don’t kill us with the drugs, they will rape and pillage us. It is time that measures are taken…even these extreme measures. My son was a victim of Fentanyl and died 3 years ago this month. I am angry that people are still not getting the open borders danger for our nation. Trump got it and was aggressively going after it…..I sure do miss him!
Sanctuary city and state leaders should be prosecuted.
Karri Lake is the type of governor Arizona needs!! She doesn’t run and hide when she is attacked; she stands taller and demands answers to the phony accusations claimed against her! Too bad we don’t have a president with the guts this woman shows!!!
I’m praying Keri Lake wins!!! She’s absolutely right to call this what it is an INVASION!! Every death, rape, murder and CHILD sold to sex traffickers are on the hands of the DEMOCRATS!! Jail isn’t good enough for them. I don’t even think hell is.
YES. AND SANTURATIONREY CITS SHOULD BE DEFUNDRD FROM FEDERAL MONEY
The voters of Arizona need to wake up and put Kari Lake into office. If Hobbs would be voted in our state will go the way this nation is heading. Our state can’t risk becoming another socialist failure like California. We are already seeing what is happening to once wonderful cities such as Phoenix and Tucson in our state. Their crime rate is going up and up because of their liberal city leaders. We need to stand up and close our borders from the invasion of those who bring drugs, crime and the sale of human beings. We need a strong leader on the third floor.
