Is Texas Being 'Invaded'? Here's What the Founding Fathers Would Say

Justin Haskins Episode 19

A huge legal battle is being waged in federal court over a law in Texas that's designed to deter people from illegally entering the United States. Normally, laws related to immigration fall under the authority of the federal government. Texas, however, claims this is a special situation, because it's being "invaded," and under the Constitution, states have the authority to defend themselves when an invasion is occurring. In this episode of "The Justin Haskins Show," New York Times/Wall Street Journal bestselling author Justin Haskins previews the inevitable Supreme Court case about Texas's invasion argument by examining what the Founding Fathers would think about Texas's law and how it relates to the Constitution.
