The bill would authorize the National Guard to take 'such actions as may
be necessary' to stop armed people from entering the US

A group of Republican lawmakers introduced legislation Thursday that
would give the National Guard the power to use lethal force against
"armed invaders" crossing the southern border into the U.S.

The bill, titled "Defend Our Borders from Armed Invaders Act," was
introduced by freshman Rep. Morgan Luttrell, R-Texas, and has been
referred to the Committee on Armed Services.

The legislation, if passed, would authorize the National Guard to take
"such actions as may be necessary to repel persons attempting to enter
the United States from Mexico who are carrying weapons, and for other
purposes," according to a description of the bill. The full text of the
legislation has not been made public.

'TAKE BACK OUR BORDER' CONVOY ARRIVES IN TEXAS: 'WE WANT OUR NATION
SAVED'

Luttrell, a former Navy SEAL, said in a statement that the legislation
is necessary to stop cartels and smugglers who are thriving at the
"wide-open border."

"We’re seeing violent crime continually escalate at the border and flow
into our communities, as President Biden’s policies have created an
untenable national security crisis," Luttrell said.

"This legislation is a step in the right direction to reign in this
crime by providing the National Guard [with] the power to stop these
armed individuals from crossing into the United States by any means
necessary."

Cartel members and people smugglers have been known to use weapons to
transport illegal immigrants across the southern border as well as
drugs.

In August, Fox News obtained images showing suspected cartel gunmen coming
across the U.S. southern border in Texas toting body armor and rifles. It
is the same area where law enforcement arrested five suspected members of
the Northeast Cartel in June.

Fox News’ drone also captured images of smugglers with machetes last
summer hitting and threatening migrants at the edge of the river in
Matamoros, Mexico, telling them to cross into Brownsville, Texas.

The Biden administration has taken several steps, including a
collaborative law enforcement anti-smuggling campaign in 2022 that led to
thousands of arrests, to crack down on cartel smuggling. It has also made
over 170 sanctions designations of cartel leaders and members, often
working with Mexico to do so.

MUSK SAYS BIDEN OPENED BORDER FLOODGATES SO DEMOCRATS CAN STAY IN POWER

The move by Luttrell also comes as Texas is involved in a multipronged
legal fight with the federal government on how to stem the unprecedented
flow of illegal immigrants.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has seized state property along the Rio Grande in
Eagle Pass known as Shelby Park while the Biden administration won a
Supreme Court decision that allows Border Patrol to cut razor wire the
state erected. Texas has continued to fortify the border and has also
indicated it will not comply with the administration’s demands for it to
vacate the Shelby Park area.

"[President Biden's] actions have caused an unprecedented invasion that we
must defend against," Abbott said on Thursday.

The Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) report for fiscal 2023 shows
that the number of illegal immigrants on the non-detained docket has
soared from 3.7 million in FY 2021 to nearly 4.8 million in FY 2022 to
nearly 6.2 million in FY 2023.

The bill is being co-sponsored by Reps. Chuck Fleischman, R-Tenn., Chuck
Edward, R-N.C, Brian Babin, R-Texas, Michael Guest, R-Miss., Mike Collin,
Ga., and Brandon William, R-N.Y.
