Hawley Proposes Letting States Enforce Border Laws Amid Texas-Biden Clash
- Missouri Senator Josh Hawley spoke about issues at the U.S.-Mexico border and said President Biden's power should be taken away
- Hawley introduced legislation allowing states like Texas to enforce federal border laws if Biden "won't do it"
- Hawley's comments come amid a fight between Texas and the Biden admin over the border and influx of migrants
