Wow… now this is interesting:

The federal government has broken the compact between the United States and the States. The Executive Branch of the United States has a constitutional duty to enforce federal laws protecting States, including immigration laws on the books right now. President Biden has refused to enforce those laws and has even violated them. The result is that he has smashed records for illegal immigration.
Despite having been put on notice in a series of letters — one of which I delivered to him by hand — President Biden has ignored Texas’s demand that he perform his constitutional duties.
* President Biden has violated his oath to faithfully execute immigration laws enacted by Congress. Instead of prosecuting immigrants for the federal crime of illegal entry, President Biden has sent his lawyers into federal courts to sue Texas for taking action to secure the border.
* President Biden has instructed his agencies to ignore federal statutes that mandate the detention of illegal immigrants. The effect is to illegally allow their en masse parole into the United States.
* By wasting taxpayer dollars to tear open Texas’s border security infrastructure, President Biden has enticed illegal immigrants away from the 28 legal entry points along this State’s southern border– bridges where nobody drowns–and into the dangerous waters of the Rio Grande.
Under President Biden’s lawless border policies, more than 6 million illegal immigrants have crossed our southern border in just 3 years. That is more than the population of 33 different States in this country. This illegal refusal to protect the States has inflicted unprecedented harm on the People all across the United
States.
James Madison, Alexander Hamilton, and the other visionaries who wrote the U.S. Constitution foresaw that States should not be left to the mercy of a lawless president who does nothing to stop external threats like cartels smuggling millions of illegal immigrants across the border. That is why the Framers included both Article IV, sec. 4, which promises that the federal government “shall protect each [State] against invasion,” and Article I, sec 10, Clause 3, which acknowledges “the States’ sovereign interest in protecting their borders.” Arizona v. United States, 567 U.S. 387, 419 (2012) (Scalia, J., dissenting).
The failure of the Biden Administration to fulfill the duties imposed by Article IV, sec. 4 has triggered Article I, sec. 10, Clause 3, which reserves to this State the right of self-defense. For these reasons, I have already declared an invasion under Article I, sec. 10, Clause 3 to invoke Texas’s constitutional authority to defend and protect itself. That authority is the supreme law of the land and supersedes any federal statutes to the contrary. The Texas National Guard, the Texas Department of Public Safety, and other Texas personnel are acting on that authority, as well as state law, to secure the Texas border.
Greg Abbott
Governor of Texas
Hehehehe… he said “triggered”.
You know Creepy Slow Shotgun Joe won’t take this lying down.
I fear that the shit, as they say, is about to get real.
Raptor,
Creepy Pedo Joe probably will take this lying down. It’s his handlers who will get all worked up in a tantrum. Maybe they’ll prop up Pedo Joe to deliver some scathing remarks like he did in Philadelphia a few years ago. Yaknow, for some window dressing
JQ
Perhaps one way to know this is serious is by the number of internet sites on “our side” that rush to attack Abbott as a WEF member, a RINO, or a weak sister, in general. One such even speculated it was about a VP nomination. “Why is he still bussing them North, instead of sending them back?”, was another question. What it all indicates, more than anything is that “our side” cannot cooperate or organize a two-car funeral. Judging by the other states that have expressed support (let’s you and him fight) this might be something. One can hope.
Personally, I love Abbott, but I love Paxton (TX AG) more and I think he’s the one pushing the wheelchair here.
“When in the course of human events…”
Ooooh, this.
I think anything could stop with “The failure of the Biden administration……..” and fill in the blank.
Somali and others aren’t the only failed states, it seems. So far we’re seeing a failed Administration, but there is no earthly reason that concept won’t quickly extend to economies, States and societies.
As Major Alan Crown said in “The Devil’s Brigade”, “God Save the Queen.”
His Second in Command, Captain Rose, replied, “God Save Us All.”
Why’d it take him 3 years?
I believe that it was both political and legally the moment to do what he did.
First he needed to see that the Biden regime (not just the figurehead) was asleep at the switch, and
Two, the Supreme Court decision was sufficiently vague to give him the basis and impetus for putting the barriers up while the Ghost of Dopey Joe sends in men to cut them down.
As it turns out, he isn’t, cutting them down. Yet at least
And yes, it is too bad that this couldn’t have happened in 2021,
All of the regime are not asleep at the wheel.
Biden, yes, he’s asleep all the time and is being
totally ‘steered through life’ by others, starting with
Dr. Jill. The others are not asleep in any way.
They know exactly what they are doing.
None of what is happening to this country is because
of oversight or apathy by anyone.
It is ALL intentional, planned being executed.
Joey’s just gonna be their scapegoat when it finally,
I fear, bursts into flames !
