not alone. gop governors from oklahoma, south dakota, florida, virginia, georgia, utah and more telling the federal government don t mess with texas in their battle to combat the border crisis. now a deal on border security could be unraveling as former president donald trump is apparently meddling. why utah republican senator mitt romney says that is appalling. we ll ask texas republican congressman chip roy where all of this could be going. welcome, everyone. glad to have you. i m neil cavuto. let s get to matt finn in eagle pass with the very latest on this building soap opera. matt? hi, neil. as you can see behind me, texas razor wire remains untouched. not far in the distance, texas national guard is installing more razor wire. right now the state attorney general ken paxon does not have a plan to go with the federal government. the supreme court went with the biden administration that prohibited biden s border agents from touching razor wire in shelby park. the adm
