<p>MSNBC host Joy Reid used her cable news platform on Wednesday to claim that officials in Texas — who have taken steps to secure the southern border where President Joe Biden&#8217;s administration has refused to act — are attempting to &#8220;resist segregation.&#8221;</p>
<p>Reid complained about Republican lawmakers, arguing that they preferred to keep the border crisis as a talking point rather than working with Democrats to solve the problem — but she left out the fact that Republicans in Texas were simply <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/abbott-texas-has-constitutional-right-to-defend-its-borders-from-invasion-supersedes-all-federal-law" target="_blank" rel="noopener">attempting to enforce the federal laws</a> that the Biden administration was not enforcing.</p>

<p>&#8220;There is no better example of what MAGA World wants for the rest of America than Texas,&#8221; Reid said, claiming that Governor Greg Abbott (R) had ordered the Texas National Guard to implement &#8220;draconian measures meant to secure the border.&#8221;</p>
<p>She went on to describe the scene, saying that Texas state officials had been &#8220;setting up buoys with buzz saws, barring federal agents from assisting with border control, and passing legislation that makes it a state crime to cross the border.&#8221;</p>

<p>Reid went on to attack Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX), saying that he was &#8220;a member of a body and party that could actually do something about immigration &#8230; They just refuse to do it because many Republicans now see calling for zero tolerance on the border as the only way to animate their base.&#8221;</p>
<p>She concluded the thought by claiming that Texas Republicans sounded &#8220;like the old southerners who said that we will resist integration by any means necessary.&#8221;</p>
<p>Reid&#8217;s comments echo those coming directly from the White House, where Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre has defended the Biden administration&#8217;s repeated attempts to prevent Texas from securing its own border — and even <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/white-house-doubles-down-on-statement-blaming-texas-for-drowned-migrants" target="_blank" rel="noopener">blamed Texas officials</a> for the drowning deaths of three migrants, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/white-house-fact-checked-by-own-officials-on-migrant-drowning" target="_blank" rel="noopener">despite the fact</a> that the migrants had been dead for more than an hour before Mexican authorities told anyone it had happened.</p>
