Patrick reiterated Abbott’s claim, telling host Laura Ingraham that the border patrol requested assistance because they were “being overrun” by migrants, but they didn’t have permission from DHS to actually ask for the assistance.
“Let me tell you something, Laura, and everyone watching: The revolution has begun. A silent revolution by the Democrat Party and Joe Biden to take over this country,” Patrick said. “Tomorrow is Constitution Day and, folks, if you haven’t read it, you need to read Article 4, Section 4 very quickly.”
Patrick called on every “red state” to invoke Article 4, Section 4 of the Constitution in order to tell Biden that the U.S. was being “invaded.” He then defined invasion as “an unauthorized, uninvited, unwelcome incursion in your territory or property.”

“This is not authorized by the state of Texas, it’s not welcomed by the state of Texas, or any other Republican state that I know, and they’re not invited,” he said.
“Every red state should invoke this clause now because every red state is being impacted and the blue states apparently don’t care,” Patrick added.
He described the “revolution” he was referring to as the federal government allowing millions of illegal immigrants into the country, who he claimed would have “two or three children,” to make millions of new voters that would support Democrats in future elections for letting them in.
