Showdown In Texas: The Texas Military Department Says It Will "Hold the Line"

Boy it sure is important to Democrats to open the borders to millions of new illegal voters.

I guess that's just because they can reliably count on 81 million "Americans" voting for them every election, huh? You know, like they got last time?

Right?

The Texas Military Department says it will continue to "hold the line in Shelby Park" in their efforts to "deter and prevent unlawful entry into the State of Texas." Under Operation Lone Star orders from Governor Greg Abbott, the Texas National Guard's actions continue despite a second demand letter from the Department of Homeland Security to release control of the park seized by the State earlier this month.

Governor Abbott pledged to continue deploying razor wire along the Rio Grande border with Mexico.

"We remain resolute in our actions to secure our border, preserve the rule of law, and protect the sovereignty of our State," TMD officials wrote in a post on X.

Shortly after DHS officials issued a second letter to Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton demanding accesses to Shelby Park in Eagle Pass, Texas, a defiant Governor Abbott posted, "We will continue to deploy this razor wire to repel illegal immigration."

Gov. Abbott is being very smart. The Supreme Court didn't actually order Texas to DO anything. The Court gave the Biden Regime permission to do something. Those are two very different things! Texas is simply laying more wire and moving in more resources. Also the court deferred on the majority of the case that is still before the 5th Circuit. Abbott is exploiting this window to rally more governors, more personnel, and to secure the moral high ground.

Good for Abbott, good for Texas, good for America.

HOLD THE LINE TEXAS!

This is correct as far as it goes, but a lot of commentators are missing that we have left the realm of the strictly legal and are in the realm of the political now.

Speaking of:

As Governor Abbott issues his "When in the course of Human Events..." notification to the feds, patriotic governors rally around him and pledge their support.

Ron DeSantis @GovRonDeSantis

If the Constitution really made states powerless to defend themselves against an invasion, it wouldn't have been ratified in the first place and Texas would have never joined the union when it did.

TX is upholding the law while Biden is flouting it.

FL will keep assisting Texas with personnel and assets.

Glenn Youngkin @GlennYoungkin

Virginia stands with Texas.

@GregAbbott_TX is doing the job Joe Biden and his border czar refuse to do to secure our border.

The Biden administration has turned every state into a border state. We must stop the flow of fentanyl, save lives, and secure our southern border.

Brian Kemp @BrianKempGA

Enough is enough. Our southern border is in crisis thanks to the Biden administration's refusal to do their job.

@GregAbbott_TX and the state of Texas have our full support.

Kristi Noem @KristiNoem

.@GregAbbott_TX is exactly right to invoke Texas' constitutional authority to defend itself.

The Biden Administration has created a national security crisis and put Americans in danger. Their failure is an unconstitutional dereliction of duty.

South Dakota has been proud to help Gov. Abbott's efforts to secure our border.

Governor Greg Gianforte @GovGianforte

Governor @GregAbbott_TX is doing what @POTUS won't.

By refusing to act, President Biden is inviting cartels, illegal drugs, and human trafficking into the United States.

We must secure the southern border.

GovJeffLandry @LAGovJeffLandry

Louisiana stands with Texas.

Enough is enough.

Utah Gov. Spencer J. Cox @GovCox

The border is a disaster that continues to spiral out of control, both in terms of people and deadly fentanyl traffic. This is not a partisan issue. This is a national security issue. This is a common sense issue. This is an American issue.

Utah thanks Texas and Gov. Abbott for stepping up where the Biden Administration has failed over and over again.

In fact, 25 governors have signed a letter in support of Abbott.

A quick-and-dirty back-of-the-envelope guestimation tells me that that's half the states. I was in Track 2 in math (as were most other Disinformation Experts), so my expertise in fraction and goesintos is uncontestable.

Here is the official letter from the Republican Governors in support of Texas. #IStandWithTexas

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- 25 Republican governors released the following joint statement in support of Texas Governor Greg Abbott and Texas' constitutional right to self-defense.

The statement comes as the Biden Administration continues to attack Texas and refuses to take action or responsibility for the crisis at the Southern border.

"President Biden and his Administration have left Americans and our country completely vulnerable to unprecedented illegal immigration pouring across the Southern border. Instead of upholding the rule of law and securing the border, the Biden Administration has attacked and sued Texas for stepping up to protect American citizens from historic levels of illegal immigrants, deadly drugs like fentanyl, and terrorists entering our country.

"We stand in solidarity with our fellow Governor, Greg Abbott, and the State of Texas in utilizing every tool and strategy, including razor wire fences, to secure the border. We do it in part because the Biden Administration is refusing to enforce immigration laws already on the books and is illegally allowing mass parole across America of migrants who entered our country illegally.

"The authors of the U.S. Constitution made clear that in times like this, states have a right of self-defense, under Article 4, Section 4 and Article 1, Section 10, Clause 3 of the U.S. Constitution. Because the Biden Administration has abdicated its constitutional compact duties to the states, Texas has every legal justification to protect the sovereignty of our states and our nation."

Signatories include: Governor Kay Ivey (AL), Governor Mike Dunleavy (AK), Governor Sarah Sanders (AR), Governor Ron DeSantis (FL), Governor Brian Kemp (GA), Governor Brad Little (ID), Governor Eric Holcomb (IN), Governor Kim Reynolds (IA), Governor Jeff Landry (LA), Governor Tate Reeves (MS), Governor Mike Parson (MO), Governor Greg Gianforte (MT), Governor Jim Pillen (NE), Governor Joe Lombardo (NV), Governor Chris Sununu (NH), Governor Doug Burgum (ND), Governor Mike DeWine (OH), Governor Kevin Stitt (OK), Governor Henry McMaster (SC), Governor Kristi Noem (SD), Governor Bill Lee (TN), Governor Spencer Cox (UT), Governor Glenn Youngkin (VA), Governor Jim Justice (WV), and Governor Mark Gordon (WY).

Now even the independent candidate RFK, Jr. has declared support for the letter. Dishonest neocon hag and Town Bike Nikki Haley is also now pretending to support the letter, as she heads into a make-or-break primary in her home state.

Donald Trump declared his support, of course.
