Is this how Civil War 2.0 starts?
Map Shows States Joining Forces With Greg Abbott in Border Standoff
Republican governors across the U.S. have backed Texas in its escalating conflict with the Biden administration over immigration enforcement. (snip)
“The Executive Branch of the United States has a constitutional duty to enforce federal laws protecting States, including immigration laws on the books right now,” Abbott said. “President Biden has refused to enforce those laws and has even violated them.”
The Biden administration’s failure to “fulfill the duties imposed by” Article IV, Section 4 of the Constitution “has triggered Article I, § 10, Clause 3, “which reserves to this State the right of self-defense,” Abbott said.
“For these reasons, I have already declared an invasion under Article I, § 10, Clause 3 to invoke Texas’s constitutional authority to defend and protect itself. That authority is the supreme law of the land and supersedes any federal statutes to the contrary,” he said.
And it looks like this (I’m using a newer map than at the article)

Via a RGA statement, AK, IN, MS, MO, NH, OH, SC, come home.
This may be the state of affairs for a bit. NC, KS, & KY have WEF Open Borders Federation-aligned governors, but Legislatures strongly pro-Texas Constitutional Alliance leaning.

Now, this was written Thursday evening, so, perhaps some things will change. I can see how Kentucky might be a bit squishy with a Democrat governor. Same with North Carolina. Arizona would usually be following Republicans, but, Dem governor. Perhaps illegals can start crossing into Arizona and New Mexico?
The article I cited features quite a few Republican governors pledging their support with Texas.
Yeah, Kentucky’s leftist governor would never help Texas in this effort.
President Biden has the authority to federalize the Texas National Guard, to countermand Governor Abbott’s orders. If Governor Abbott then has the Texas Rangers take over the barbed wiring, we could have the very ugly situation of Texas National Guardsmen being forced to confront the Texas Rangers.
Governor Abbott is in the right on this issue, but President Biden has more power, and it’s difficult to see this ending well.
We’ll believe there’s a border crisis when the cult who say it’s a crisis start acting like it’s a crisis!!
Congress can end the crisis if mobster/candidate Donnie Orange lets the Republican House Speaker do it!!
America has a political cult wanting to destroy the nation so they can fix it.
So early.
Poor Rimjob and his onset TTS
Bwaha! Lolgf
This cult is commonly known as the Democrat party, hard at work at this objective since — depending on how you reckon it — 1965, 1933, or 1913.
¡Viva la Revolución!
It’s Revolución by X (formerly tweeter)!
On September 24, 1957, President Eisenhower sent the 101st Airborne into Little Rock, AR and federalized the Arkansas National Guard to protect the Little Rock Nine, black students entering Little Rock Central High School.
And Brandon sez wut?
Bwaha! Lolgf
Do states have the right to put up wire to prevent people from leaving their state?
Ask Governor Gavin Gruesome or those crazy witches from Wisconsin or New York — they’re the only ones with any reason to try it as their tax base continues to flee.
Johnny-I can’t find that in the Constitution. Maybe it’s next to the right to abortion?
