"Gee it really would be nice if GOP leadership would pull its thumb out of its butt long enough to effectively address this issue, since they stand to become extinct along with the rest of traditional American society if it continues."
The "GOP leadership" will do nothing, because they don't have any power to do so.
You should expect NOTHING from the DC Republicans to resolve the border disaster.
There's only one "alternative course of action" at this point:
States that are being invaded must take direct action to STOP the invasion, even if doing so independently of the DC/DCP (democrat-communist party) government is technically "unconstitutional".
Of course, we know that California will do... nothing.
Same with New Mexico.
Both are not only blue states, they are now hispanic-majority states in which I'll reckon a majority or near-majority of the citizens FAVOR the collapse of border security.
That leaves Arizona and Texas.
Arizona -- very VERY weak Republican "leadership" there, not worth a plug nickel. I doubt they'll do anything on their own, but read on...
Texas -- this could be a different story and strike a defining blow in the struggle to vanquish American communism and restore the constitutional government.
Governor Abbott has already declared a state of emergency in TX, right?
Well, fine, governor -- DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT on your own.
Send your National Guard to the border.
Send the Texas Rangers.
Put out a notice for all able-bodied Texas men who legally bear arms to report for deputization and duty along the border, to capture and repel invaders.
If you want to save your state, governor, this is what you must do.
And... if the federal government tries to shut you down with the threat of troops to prevent you from securing the border... the message should be that Texas will stand on its own, and any attempt to stop you with arms, will be met with your guns pointed at those who are trying to do so.
If Texas can succeed, my prediction is that Arizona may "follow".
OK folks, how's that?
Do you really really really really really REALLY think this invasion is going to be halted any other way?
Well fine.
Tell me YOUR plan.
