Arkansas Stands With Texas

Arkansas stands with Texas in its battle against the Biden administration over immigration issues at the southern border, Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders announced Thursday.

"If President Biden won't defend us, states will have to defend themselves," Sanders wrote on the social media platform X.

Sanders was one of 25 Republican governors who signed on to a statement released Thursday supporting Abbott.

"President Biden and his Administration have left Americans and our country completely vulnerable to unprecedented illegal immigration pouring across the Southern border," the statement read. "Instead of upholding the rule of law and securing the border, the Biden Administration has attacked and sued Texas for stepping up to protect American citizens from historic levels of illegal immigrants, deadly drugs like fentanyl, and terrorists entering our country."

Freeze Or Famine Under Biden

During the winter months, American families are reminded of the high cost of Biden’s war on American energy. The high cost of energy is forcing many families to make tough choices to heat their homes.

What you need to know:

• Families are suffering through yet another unaffordable winter under the Biden administration as prices remain high for the majority of Americans just trying to stay warm.
• Households relying on propane to keep warm are paying $1,345, a 15.8 percent increase from the $1,162 average paid during the winter of 2020-2021.
• Those relying on heating oil to keep warm are paying $1,701, a 40.3% increase from the $1,212 average paid during the winter of 2020-2021.
• The nearly half of homes who rely on natural gas for heat are paying $608, a 6.1% increase from the $573  average during the winter of 2020-2021.
• More and more Americans are falling behind on their utility bills – with low-income households being hit the hardest. 
• Americans have lost over $3,700 paying higher energy costs since Biden took office.
• In 2023, families were behind on $20.3 billion in utility bills, up from $17 billion pre-pandemic. 
•  72% of Americans say their energy bills grew over the past year as energy costs have soared at twice the rate of overall inflation.
• Over 20% of households were behind on their energy bills in 2022. 
•  Nearly a third of Americans say they’ve cut back or skipped necessary expenses – such as food or medicine – just to pay an energy bill.
• U.S. average regular gas prices have been above $3 per gallon for 987 days straight.
• The only solution Biden has offered for Americans struggling to pay these high prices is to buy a $50,789 electric vehicle, which have proven to struggle in freezing temperatures.
• Biden has targeted American energy since taking office.
• Instead of looking to states like Texas, Pennsylvania, and North Dakota to ramp up U.S. energy production, Biden has continuously solicited hostile foreign nations to produce oil.

The bottom line:

Unsurprisingly, 56% of Americans are dissatisfied with the nation’s energy policies under Biden. During his first campaign Biden vowed to wage war on American energy and voters know a second term would mean more of the same. On November 5, voters will head to the polls and vote for Republicans who will restore American energy independence.
