I believe Texas has the ability to send it’s national guard to the border to prevent the current invasion by foreigners into its land.

“The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened) against domestic Violence.”


Combined the above with Article I Section X “No State shall, without the Consent of Congress, lay any Duty of Tonnage, keep Troops, or Ships of War in time of Peace, enter into any Agreement or Compact with another State, or with a foreign Power, or engage in War, unless actually invaded, or in such imminent Danger as will not admit of delay.”

Why doesn’t Abbot force Biden’s hand and send the Texas National guard down there to capture and or prevent invaders. Texas could declare war on Mexico and Biden couldn’t stop it.

If Texas declared war or Mexico for invading its state, and Biden refused to stop the influx of invaders, he probably wouldn’t be impeached but he would be completely neutered politically.

This is the ultimate Alpha move and it would cause Biden to have to capitulate on protecting the border and preventing invasion.

The left will try to change the narrative by calling them refugees. The difference is they have to apply for asylum. If they aren’t Mexicans, then they can’t legitimately claim asylum since they should have claimed asylum in Mexico. You can’t get asylum because you can’t find a job. You have to be persecuted.

The OP is correct. And many counties are urging the Governor to do just what you are suggesting.

You need a better hobby. The one you use now sucks ...

quote:

The Texas State Guard (TXSG) is part of the state military force of Texas, and one of three branches of the Texas Military Forces. Along with the other two branches, the TXSG falls under the command of the Governor of Texas and is administered by the Adjutant General of Texas an appointee of the Governor. The other two branches of the Texas Military Forces are the Texas Army National Guard and the Texas Air National Guard.

The mission of the Texas State Guard (TXSG) is to provide mission-ready military forces to assist state and local authorities in times of state emergencies, to conduct homeland security and mission support activities under the umbrella of Defense Support to Civil Authorities, and to augment the Texas Army National Guard and Texas Air National Guard as required.

Headquartered at Camp Mabry in Austin, Texas, the TXSG functions as an organized state military under the authority of Title 32 of the U.S. Code and Chapter 431 of the Texas Government Code. The Governor of Texas has sole control over the Texas State Guard, because it is not subject to federal activation.


All Texas has to do is define the illegal crossings as an invasion ....then order it's own military to defend the border.

Texas still can’t declare war on anything whatsoever.

Texas also will not and cannot classify illegal immigration as an invasion

Redefined, Texas has the ability to do a lot of things other states can't.

The definition is the fact that Texas has it's own military force and doesn't require the use of Federal Military forces.

Try again ..

Yea, wake me up when this happens. You think Texas is the only state with a “state guard”? Besides, on what planet does Texas derive its authority to conduct foreign affairs? (Hint:it has no authority to do so)

Maybe your reading comprehension is lacking. I posted word for word specific articles within the constitution which grant them this authority. Also, this authority derives from its sovereignty.

I don’t need to wake you up. I already provided you the information.

How is defending the border a "foreign affair"? We'd be conducting operations solely in Texas.

Because Republicans will never actually do anything ever. You guys are going to have to look at history and wake up. There are only two or three outcomes for the situation we are, and republicanism is just a slow bleed to communism at this point. If we continue this fight the way it is going we will march to communism or devolve into a multicultural ghetto akin to Brazil. The only non losing outcome is to go fascist or national socialist. I don't even know why a lot of you guys say you hate fascism since it is practically what Trump ran on.

A Modern Tale Of Ouroboros 13:06

This is just a small clip of how much the left has been winning that they have very little to argue about with the right anymore. The far left really only has things to argue with the moderate left because the right is nearly dead as far as a real opponent goes.

I saw Greg Abbott was on Hannity, but I had it on mute... did he mention fighting the invasion?
