State Representative Jena Powell (R-Arcanum) has co-sponsored a concurrent resolution expressing Ohio's solidarity with the State of Texas and condemning President Biden's administration's open-border policies. In a statement, Powell criticized the Biden Administration's disregard for defending America's southern border, stating, "The Biden Administration’s blatant disregard for defending America’s southern border is beyond belief. I commend the members of Ohio’s National Guard and State Highway Patrol and their willingness to stand with the Texas National Guard to protect our border and keep us safe."

This resolution comes in response to recent developments in the ongoing border security debate. The United States Supreme Court has vacated a previous injunction issued by the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals, which had prevented federal border agents from accessing the border. Texas has now asked the appeals court to reconsider the case.

Powell's co-sponsorship of this resolution showcases her commitment to border security and her support for Texas in their efforts to address the challenges posed by illegal immigration. The resolution serves as a strong message of solidarity between Ohio and Texas, two states that recognize the importance of securing the border to ensure the safety and well-being of their citizens.

In addition to expressing support for Texas, the resolution also denounces the open-border policies of the Biden administration. It highlights the concerns shared by many regarding the potential consequences of unchecked illegal immigration. By standing with Texas, Ohio sends a clear message that it stands against policies that compromise national security and disregard the rule of law.

As the debate over border security continues, it is crucial for lawmakers to come together and address the challenges posed by illegal immigration. State Representative Jena Powell's co-sponsorship of the 'Ohio Stands with Texas' resolution is a testament to her dedication to protecting the interests of Ohioans and upholding the values of national security.
