Governor of Texas declares border "in a state of invasion"; says he'll defend w/ Texas troops

Finally.

After putting up with Porridgebrain's insane, illegal "open-border" policy for over two years, on Wednesday evening Texas governor Greg Abbott announced on "X" (Twitter) that he was officially declaring a "state of invasion"--that his state was being invaded by millions of aliens illegally crossing the totally open southern border.

Last November Abbott wrote Porridge laying out the Constitutional authority for him taking border defense into Texas' hands if biden insisted on continuing to refuse to defend the nation's borders, as the Constitution demands. The letter cited Article 4, section 4 of the U.S. Constitution--which the rat-bastard Democrats have been working hard to claim is NO LONGER the "supreme law of the land.  

The letter claimed the biden/harris/garland regime's open-border policy violates the clear language of that document.  Abbott wrote: "The federal government's failure has forced me to invoke Article I, § 10, Clause 3 of the U.S. Constitution, thereby enabling the State of Texas to protect its own territory against invasion by the Mexican drug cartels."

Porridgebrain has repeatedly ignored that demand, so Abbott now says that because of bidens complete, utter, total failure to defend his state from the invasion, Texas will now begin repelling the invasion with its own troops.

He says since Biden has repeatedly refused to do what the Constitution says he must do, the governor is sending Texas troops to the border, and that they'll be building a wall, deploying razor wire and floating river barriers to protect his state from the Mexican drug cartels

If you're under 25 or so you might not see the importance of this.  What this sets up is a Constitutional fight between--not Texas and the cartels, but between Texas and the fedrul [sic] gruberment.

Let me explain:  It's absolutely certain that biden and garland will never back down, because they're totally convinced that they have the power to make everyone and every state submit to them, no matter how outrageous and unlawful their commands.  And normally the supreme court would agree because of a thing called the "supremacy clause."

But in this case the Constitution clearly says what any citizen can read for himself--meaning that for the SC to support biden's and garland's inevitable order, the court will have to say the Constitution doesn't mean what it clearly says.  And the court may very well do that, since John Roberts ruled that Obamacare's ORDER forcing all Americans to buy health insurance or pay a penalty was a "tax," despite the fact the Obozo's own attorneys claimed it was NOT a tax!

(That, of course, was utterly absurd on its face.  The Constitution clearly says "all taxes shall be apportioned equally" on citizens.  But the penalty for failing to buy the newly-ORDERED insurance was clearly just that: a penalty, not a tax.  Roberts is corrupt.  We know why, too.  So he may well drive the court to agree that the Constitution allows the biden/garland regime to open the borders to everyone in the world, as long as they claim a) everyone is a "refugee," and b) that they'll eventually get a court hearing to decide the case of each illegal--even if 20 years from now.)

SO...here's what I predict:  since biden is probably the dumbest son of a bitch to ever be installed as "president," even before senility set in, he'll huddle with his corrupt lackey garland and ORDER Texas not to do any of the things Abbott announced, under penalty of a $10,000-per-day fine.  That order will also say that if Abbott does any of those things for longer than some arbitrary bullshit number of days--like ten or 15--after the regime issues its order, the fine will jump up to $100,000 per day.

biden's and garland's expectation is that after a few million dollars in fines pile up, the citizens of Texas will force Abbott to back down--which may well happen, since Abbott has shown himself to be a RINO several times before.  So his Wednesday night announcement could just be theater.

Thing is, unless Abbott caves, this will go to the Supreme Court.  And regardless of how the court rules, Democrats won't look good to all but the most rabidly partisan Democrat voters: Either the regime has to claim before the supreme court that the Constitution doesn't mean what it clearly and obviously says--which will open lots of eyes--or garland and Porridge will be seen as preventing a state from defending its borders after they regime refused to do so.

(Of course the wokie snowflakes--which is most Democrats--will absolutely swoon over Porridge "protecting doze po' refugees."  But those snowflakes would continue to vote Dem even if a search found gold bars wrapped up in ribbons with gift cards from the Chinese government hidden in biden's house.)

There's one other possibility, which I normally wouldn't mention because it would normally be so unlikely.  But to put it bluntly, biden and his handlers are so crazy that the calculus has changed radically, making the insane decision less remote:

Porridgebrain's Secretary of Defense (Lloyd Austin) is a servile lacky who would obey any order, regardless of whether unconstitutional or illegal.  And thanks to Obozo only promoting wokie generals, the top generals today will do whatever biden and the SecDef order, since otherwise you get fired.  So the insane scenario is that biden would order the U.S. military to the border with orders to arrest any members of the Texas National Guard that don't leave.

Seems totally implausible, eh?  Yeah, well... anyone remember when biden absolutely assured Americans that he wasn't even thinking about ordering every citizen to take the covid jab--and then a few weeks later he did just that?  Yeah.  So I don't rule anything out.

And of course the NY Times, WaPo, CNN, MSNBC and every Mainstream Media outlet would absolutely cream themselves over that "bold, brilliant move" by Porridgebrain to "protect doze po' 'refugees'."

Count on it.
