As these words are being written, there is an ongoing Constitutional crisis in Texas. The Biden administration has allowed open borders for over three years creating an invasion of illegal aliens from countries around the world. Texas, through its Governor, Greg Abbott, has said enough is enough and has taken over responsibility for denying access of these law breakers into America.
Yes, law breakers, that is what illegal means. That is why the left uses the word undocumented instead. However, whether undocumented or illegal aliens, they are breaking the federal laws by entering this nation without proper documentation. They are criminals, each and every one of them. And Joe Biden allowed the criminals free access, even to the point where he uses billions of taxpayer dollars to transport, house, feed, and medically care for them each year.
Governor Abbott has had enough and has drawn a line in the sand. Biden, too, has for the first time in his term stood up to an opponent, not China, Iran, Russia, or North Korea, but against a fellow American politician who is in the opposition party. In fact the only spine Biden has shown has been against his fellow Americans that do not agree with him. Every American who does not agree with him, especially those who want to return to our past glory days and make America great again.
Biden hates you!
Yes, Joe Biden hates you if you are MAGA, white, male, Republican, conservative, libertarian, or liberal who disagrees with anything he has to say. He is a petty dictator who will not tolerate any dissension. And he let's everyone know it through this speeches and statements. Simply look in his eyes as he spits out the words 'MAGA Republicans,' there is true vitriol and pure hatred there. A malevolence so deeply inside him that he cannot help himself from showing it.
That hatred extends to anyone that opposes him, as Governor Abbott is now doing in Eagle Pass, Texas. Eagle Pass is a city located along the border of Texas and Mexico. A State Park located in Eagle Pass, Shelby Park, has become the focal point of illegal immigration into the United States and the Biden administration's refusal to control it.
Recently, the Supreme Court ruled that the federal government has the right to determine immigration. Whether it was a wise or foolish decision is yet to be decided, yet it opened the door to this face off as Governor Abbott is refusing to obey SCOTUS, and Biden is pushing to remove the barriers placed in Shelby Park to stem the flow of illegal aliens.
There is still a legal battle to be fought because Governor Abbott has declared that an invasion of Texas is underway, and invoked Article I, § 10, Clause 3, which reserves to the States the right of self-defense. "For these reasons, I have already declared an invasion under Article I, § 10, Clause 3," declared Abbott.
A letter distributed by ten former Intelligence and FBI leaders declaring an invasion seems to give some credibility to Abbott's use of the Constitutional authority granted to the States if the Federal government abdicate their responsibility for border protection. Which seems the case in Texas.
Biden, in the meantime, has invoked the SCOTUS ruling as his justification to arrest any state troops or officers who interfere with his plans to destroy the border barriers placed by Abbott. To Biden's horror, Border Patrol Agents have refused to comply with his orders.
The Border Patrol Union announced on X Friday, that U.S. Border Patrol agents will respect any and all “LAWFULL orders” that Texas National Guardsmen have been given, and there’s no animosity between the two groups.
(https://x.com/BPUnion/status/1751015909647667408?s=20).
“TX NG and rank-and-file BP agents work together and respect each other's jobs. Period. If TX NG members have LAWFUL orders, then they have to carry out those orders. TX NG members realize that rank-and-file BP agents have their orders as well.”
The message highlighted that the orders must be "lawful orders" and not something that a computer warrior decides is lawful. In other words this needs to be sorted out through the courts and Border Patrol will not be arresting Texas National Guard or law enforcement anytime soon. This is a slap to Biden's face.
There is a lot of legal wrangling left to be done before any real confrontation can come to a head. In the meantime both sides are planting their spurs deeply in the sand, both refusing to give ground.
History tells the story of what could happen
History has seen something like this before between Democrats and Republicans. That was the standoff at Fort Sumter in South Carolina in 1861. It ended when hothead Democrats opened fire on the fort to remove federal troops stationed there. Those were the first shots fired in our bloody Civil War. Can we avoid repeating history this time?
The last thing we need, especially in today's world of danger and almost imminent world war, is a war between ourselves. Yet sides are lining up on both sides of this issue. As expected those states led by Republicans have sided with Texas. Some 25 states signed a letter of support for Governor Abbott and ten of those states backed up their words by sending their State National Guard units or other law enforcement to the State of Texas.
Democrats have backed themselves into a corner over this issue
On the other side there are calls to federalize the Texas National Guard and order them to remove the wire themselves. However, Democrats are treading lightly due to the fact that they have flaunted federal laws for years with no consequences. Of course those are the same federal immigration laws that Biden is now ignoring.
All of those Democrat run states and cities that are sanctuaries for illegal aliens are breaking federal statutes. Now that they want to enforce a finding from SCOTUS that they can protect the border, doesn't mean that it negates the years of their doing the very same thing. More importantly is the fact that the American public does not agree with this open border policy and want it changed. Democrats do not wish to highlight the border as it is a losing issue for them in the upcoming election.
We live in very troubled times
Our immediate troubles are mostly due to Biden's policies. This cannot continue without lasting consequences to America. And what America does, or doesn't do, affects the world. Which is why we are on the precipice of a world war.
The decisions Biden makes both in the international and domestic realms in the next few days will set the stage for America's future for the next two hundred years.
