    Well with the open border there won't be any worry about a government take over as nobody will be able to fly the F-16's.

    I'd rather just give Texas back to Mexico... in return for 100 cases of Goya products

    We get to keep all of our professional sports teams though

    The State of Texas, under Gov. @GregAbbott_TX’s Operation Lone Star, will maintain its current posture in deterring illegal border crossings by utilizing effective border security measures - reinforced concertina wire & anti-climb barriers along the Rio Grande. The logical… https://t.co/p6l4KluzCe

    Except for the razor wire or anything else preventing the feds from doing their jobs, of course...

    It'll be resolved in the end. May be some flexing along the way by all sides.

    Abbott will make Biden call marshal law and bring the army down there to open that border.

    Greg Abbott
    @GregAbbott_TX


    The Texas National Guard continues to hold the line in Eagle Pass. Texas will not back down from our efforts to secure the border in Biden’s absence.

    Because individual states doing something contradictory to the policies of the federal government on federal issues is not acceptable...

    George Wallace and Ross Barnett all over again, although likely with somewhat better motivation...

    Texas has no legal authority to prosecute immigration laws.



    Prove me wrong.

    This nonsense will go nowhere, but I have to give this moron credit for coming up with an servicable acronym for RAZOR

    SNIP
    Rep. Mike Collins (R-Ga.) is introducing legislation to ban the federal government from removing border barriers in the wake of the Supreme Court ruling earlier this week that the Biden administration can take down razor wire Texas put up along the U.S.-Mexico border.

    The Restricting Administration Zealots from Obliging Raiders (RAZOR) Act would prohibit the federal government from removing border barriers built by Texas or any other state.
    ENDSNIP

    https://www.yahoo.com/news/gop-rep-introduces-razor-act-162334388.html

    I counter propose the MORON act - MAGAs Obtusely Relish Obvious Nonsense - I think it's pretty self explanatory....

    Yes, that sucks. There is no way any government agency can stop the illegals from invading our country.

    Thanks to John Roberts, the spineless Chief Justice, who the RINO Bush family put on the court. That appointment bites us on a regular basis.

    Biden, or rather the Biden puppet masters, want the illegals to come here, get on welfare and vote Democrat. That is what the Biden puppet does when the puppet masters pull his strings. Biden himself is so befuddled that he has no idea how to exit a stage. He's in such bad shape, he can't climb a flight a stairs to get on Air Force One.

    Texas will simply put more wire up faster than they can cut it down and seal more of it off from feds access like that park. It’s on.

    That is really a disturbing attitude.

    I think what we have in Texas is Abbott pandering to a MAGA demographic who find his meme-ish nonsense appealing, with no regarding to the constitutionality or lack of empathy.

    I'd be fine with that too.... I imagine Mexico wouldn't want the burden either..

    And the teams could all move back to the USA somewhere...

    I like your thinking on this... Free The Texiban!!!

    How do you figure? Border Patrol will be RIGHT THERE.... and it's a lot easier to destroy something than build it (you should know that by now, being a MAGA)

    Even George Wallace got out of the way eventually (until 1972 that is)

    Illegals do not get on welfare nor do they vote. Given the attitudes of the GOP these days and the cruelty towards immigrants they seem to adore, I am sure their children, Americans, will be Democrats unless the GOP rids itself of this racist dog whistle stuff in their lifetimes.

    Over half of the illegals are getting welfare from some level of government. As a progressive, I am sure that you have ignored the news reports about how spending on illegals is busting the budgets in New York City and Chicago. The residents, who were receiving benefits in those cities have noted that and are not happy. The votes you gain from the illegals might be offset by the votes you lose from the residents of those cities. Maine is in the process of building apartments to house illegals for two years rent free.

    You peddle your lies and distortions to the low information voters. Those those who know different, see right through you.

    There are no illegals getting welfare checks anywhere. If by welfare you mean some form of assistance while they are applying for asylum, perhaps that is true but that is not welfare and you know it. Illegals do not vote, you must be MAGA because everything you stated here is straight from the mouths of MAGATs. As for low information voters, you certainly qualify. I googled your free rent for asylum seekers in Maine. It does seem like one town is paying for housing for them, I guess that town is filled with real Christians.

    They can't, they will be breaking SCOTUS ruling. This is a free society under the rule of law.

    The Texas National Guard is part of the Army. The Texas State Guard is not.
