TX is upholding the law while Biden is flouting it.

I am glad that DeSantis is an ally of Texas. I've been hard on Abbott and didn't vote for him in the last Republican primary,(voted for him in the general) but if he holds his ground on this I will have a new found respect for him.
Desantis is more useful to the future of the nation right where he is now. He, along with Abbott, can set the course for the nation in a way he may not be able to even as President.
This is that big of an issue. In fact, I would venture to say it's THE biggest issue the nation has experienced since WWII. We either stop it or we don't have a nation, end of story.
.@GregAbbott_TX is exactly right to invoke Texas’ constitutional authority to defend itself.

Other governors joining now.
This entire fiasco is a gambit to pressure SCOTUS to rule in Texas favor. If they don't...?

I'm not sure either side has actually planned for that.

Virginia stands with Texas. @GregAbbott_TX is doing the job Joe Biden and his border czar refuse to do to secure our border.
— Glenn Youngkin (@GlennYoungkin) January 25, 2024
The Biden administration has turned every state into a border state. We must stop the flow of fentanyl, save lives, and secure our southern border. https://t.co/XaPu2RqJBP
Governor @GregAbbott_TX is doing what @POTUS won’t.

By refusing to act, President Biden is inviting cartels, illegal drugs, and human trafficking into the United States.
We must secure the southern border. https://t.co/K1tAy6pE4e
Then I guess you think Biden is also guilty of this? Since the feds have been doing the same thing?blacksox said:
If what is going o is really an invasion, Abbott has given them "aid and comfort" in the form of free transportation to other states to spread the invasion. That's treason and he should be out to death. At least that's what the constitution says for those who care to read it.
So in today's news, a weak and politically-ineffective man whose last name starts with B is President while one or more southern states are challenging federal authority and asserting various bases allowing them to act independently.
I recall reading something about this before.

This is quickly evolving into the biggest constitutional crisis in our lifetime.
How many states are currently allied with Texas?!
Articles of Impeachment should be filed against Biden and Mayorkas tomorrow.

Nah, roast Biden over it until he loses. If he somehow succeeds, impeach. Let Republicans run on a remove/impeach Biden initiative because even the deepest blue liberals are hating having to deal with an open border and the illegals when they use to pretend to be a sanctuary city

Enough is enough. Our southern border is in crisis thanks to the Biden administration’s refusal to do their job.@GregAbbott_TX and the state of Texas have our full support. https://t.co/dmJKMsviTV

This is the only way it MIGHT get covered on lib media.
On the thread (there are probably a bunch more) Oklahoma, Florida, Georgia, Virginia, Montana and one of the Dakotas. You'll see a significant number come out over the next 48 hours and Abbott will probably be on the phone and the Rep Governors Association will probably whip on it. House will be on board but McConnell and his cronies won't.

DeSantis and Florida are.

I'm surprised he didn't first ask permission from Fulton County.
The more states aligned with the effort, however, the better.
Other interesting developments:
Abbott has the Feds over a barrel right now. If the Feds the anything apparently a whole lot of the military will immediately defect.
Just spoke with a U.S. Army officer stationed on the border

- his orders to patrol this month haven’t been renewed due to the SecDef being AWOL and rippling down the command
- Texas military has displayed the pinnacle of professionalism and integrity, impressing US military…
Spoke with an officer at Fort Bragg, confirmed same talks are happening there. Sentiment is almost universally “if something happens, I’m immediately going awol and heading to Texas.” https://t.co/VgV9jR00hc

The border is a disaster that continues to spiral out of control, both in terms of people and deadly fentanyl traffic. This is not a partisan issue. This is a national security issue. This is a common sense issue. This is an American issue.

That's on Paxton. Abbott has mentioned or signaled Art I for at least a year now.
This is a brilliant 2 minute explanation of why Texas is in the right.
Can the federal government defy the law and force a state to allow a foreign invasion. James Madison didn’t think so… pic.twitter.com/XwpSCEcAGh

Article I, Section 10, Clause 3 starts off with:
why has on one on congress proposed a bills consenting to what Texas is doing? the do-nothings continue to do nothing.
Quote:
No State shall, without the Consent of Congress, . . .
why has on one on congress proposed a bills consenting to what Texas is doing? the do-nothings continue to do nothing.
I mean they could but it won't pass. So the better option at this point is to remember that the States have this authority to bypass the Federal Government entirely and it is clearly stated in the Constitution.BMX Bandit said:

"It won't pass" is not a reason to propose what's right.
We used to laugh at the prospect of war but the feds look like they want to **** around and find out.

He could have been President.
If immigration is such a big deal, why did Republicans just kill a comprehensive bill?

Make them vote in support of open borders and then hammer them politically for it.
