Texas Governor Greg Abbott issued a defiant statement on Wednesday pushing back against President Joe Biden’s attempts to stop Texas from securing its borders against the millions of illegal aliens pouring into the state thanks to Biden’s reckless border policies.
Abbott’s statement comes after the U.S. Supreme Court sided with the Biden administration earlier this week, ruling that it could remove or cut through razor wire the state has deployed to stop illegal aliens from crossing the Rio Grande into the state.
“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,” reads the statement. “President Biden has instructed his agencies to ignore federal statutes that mandate the detention of illegal immigrants. The failure of the Biden Administration to fulfill the duties imposed by Article IV, § 4 has triggered Article I, § 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, § 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.”
Should have done it two years ago. The Texas/Mexico border belongs to Texas as much (or more) than it belongs to the U.S.
i believe it is still is the Republic of Texas , and has a few extra rights that other states dont have.
This only a few steps away from, When in the course of Human Events…
Gen. Robert E Lee said –
Texans Always Move Them.
Hope they still have that resolve.
Texas like much of America has changed. I applaud the border moves but unless they stop people from crossing, period, it will be rather pointless.
Just watched Redacted with Clayton interviewing Michael Yon in Panama. He says Abbott is total WEF and his responses are theatre. He says the US are paying for the Chinese invasion of the US. Hair raising stuff.. A must listen.. This is the second time I have heard this..
Texas Rangers are from being WEF approved.
It seems to me that the Court ruled very narrowly but actually went with the constitution. The Feds are in charge of national border security. They, apparently, ignored the fact that the Federal government is totally neglecting or perverting its role, however.
The Texas/Mexico border belongs to Texas as much as it does to the U.S. The law says…No State shall….”unless actually invaded”. So it boils down to “actually invaded”….which it is. Let the games begin.
The Court doesn’t deal with semantics. I hope Abbot ignores the decision just as Biden is ignoring the law.
Look. If anybody in DC wanted that border secured, all they have to do is ask the Israelis for the plans for a border wall that is actually effective in keeping terrorists out.
The globalists and their useful idiots hate the Israeli border security system for a very simple reason: it works as intended, having been built by a country whose government actually takes the side of its people against their enemies. Jews feel safe in Israel because Gentiles enter Israel when it suits Jews. If a member of the Palestinian resistance wants his 72 virgins, he can drive his stolen electric vehicle to Wellington Street and blow himself to Gehinnom in front of the PMO.
(And why not? I am assured by the Palestinian Resistance that Justin supports genocide. If by that they meant mass murder of Jews, they wouldn’t even be wrong.)
Israelis, for their part, can take buses and light rail to work without it amounting to inviting thirty Hamas operatives into their car. We should all be so lucky.
(The trains used by the Tel Aviv light rail were made by the same firm who made the O-Trains used in Ottawa. Except the trains used in Tel Aviv actually work.)
the egyptians have a better wall for the Palis than the Israelis .
Shouldn’t the military be arresting, detaining and charging everyone involved with the criminal O Biden Regime including Mayorkas, with treason?
I thought the military was supposed to uphold the Constitution and prevent an invasion…?
Too busy dying from heart attacks, blood clots, strokes and parading around in ladies dresses I guess.
Could America be more corrupt than Turdholeland?
Its probably a tie… they’re both ruled over by the most depraved satanic criminal organizations on the planet.
Please see my post above.. Myorkis is paying for invading Chinese encampments in Panama.
“I thought the military was supposed to uphold the Constitution and prevent an invasion…?”
There is also an individual and unit ability to refuse illegal orders.
How long till secession?
Could be that in their blind haste to flatten everything into the global superstate that they’re actually going to cause the fragmentation and re-tribalisation of existing nations.
Good point! Let’s hope.
And so the resistance to these wok policies begins in Texas!!! I’m not surprised!!
Now Western Canada should start the adios Amigo in Canada!
Joe Biden is a real team builder. Keep shipping those immigrants to Blue States, Texas. They need to share the joy. I miss Progressive Pat.
Does the civil war begin with states rights violations?
According to Instapundit, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Montana, South Dakota, Florida, Virginia…. have pledged material and personnel support.
Wouldn’t it be fun if a province or two pledged support as well?
Well written article from the Texas Tribune.
