Days after declaring the illegal immigration crisis at the southern border an “invasion,” Goliad County, Texas, ratified its declaration this week.

The ratification by the county’s commissioners is part of an effort to get Republican Gov. Greg Abbott to make a state invasion declaration. Rep. Michael Cloud (R-Texas) has backed the county’s move. In a statement to Fox News Digital, Cloud criticized the Biden administration for being “derelict in their duty” to safeguard the country.
