A lot of people suspect the feds are hoping to incite another " insurrection" with this maneuver. Any excuse for a crackdown on constitutional rights.

Oh, I think that they are hoping to incite more than an insurrection; more like a civil war.

Retired FBI execs to Congress: Invasion at border 'perilous' for America; U.S. has never suffered an invasion of the homeland but one is unfolding now

Highland County Press By Bethany Blankley 1/26/2024

The Center Square

Ten retired FBI directors and experts in counter intelligence sent a letter to congressional leaders warning that President Joe Biden’s border policies have facilitated a “soft invasion” into the U.S. of military-age men coming from terror-linked regions, China and Russia.

They argue a terrorist attack is likely imminent but preventable.

“The threat we call out today is new and unfamiliar. In its modern history the U.S. has never suffered an invasion of the homeland, and, yet, one is unfolding now. Military age men from across the globe, many from countries or regions not friendly to the United States, are landing in waves on our soil by the thousands – not by splashing ashore from a ship or parachuting from a plane bur rather by foot across a border that has been accurately advertised around the world as largely unprotected with ready access granted.”

“It would be difficult to overstate the danger represented by the presence inside our borders of what is comparatively a multi division army of young single adult males from hostile nations and regions whose background, intent, or allegiance is completely unknown.”
“It would be difficult to overstate the danger represented by the presence inside our borders of what is comparatively a multi division army of young single adult males from hostile nations and regions whose background, intent, or allegiance is completely unknown. They include individuals encountered by border officials and then possibly released into the country, along with the shockingly high estimate of 'gotaways,' meaning those who have entered and evaded apprehension.”

According to the US Department of Defense, an Army company is comprised of 100 soldiers, a battalion of 1,000, a brigade 5,000, a division 15,000, and a corps, 45,000.

There have been over 1.7 million gotaways reported to have illegally entered and evaded capture since Biden’s been in office, the majority of whom are military age men. They are included in the more than 10 million total illegal border crossers reported to have entered the country from Jan. 1, 2021, to Sept. 30, 2023.

I applaud Abbott for doing this. We are being slow bled by the globalists working thru the current admin to the point where if this keeps happening, at some point the country is going to destabilize.

Then it will be the same result because it will be their excuse to declare martial law and take over in a coup, except of course the States and citizens will be in a much weaker position to fight it. Might as well address it now and risk the fallout.

Main this is the strategy - instead of trying to do a brute force take on of the FedGov, baiting them to step out on the limb so it can be cut off. They've already done that some by splitting hairs on the SCOTUS decision and basically staying within the law. That's what they need to continue to do and let the Skeezy admin escalate.

Next step seems to be if the Skeezy will pull a petty partisan power play and nationalize the Guard to deny Abbot from using it, but with no real emergency, mission, or purpose other than essentially admitting that they want to continue the giant human trafficking operation of illegals across the border.

After that it gets dicey, but TX needs to keep the FedGov on the wrong side of the law and force them to back down or commit a coup, after which point nobody has do do a damn thing they say.

I feel that this country is already destabilized; the DOJ and SCOTUS are corrupt. I fear that they will nationalize the Guard in every state. However, there are states such as Florida that have a State Guard and the FEDS can't touch them.

So, the next step for them would be to declare martial law and start seizing guns...then you are going to see a battle. That is where I believe that the UN will step in to assist the take down of this country.

You bet ya, I fear the future and this scenario happening.

I agree with all of this, and concur, except in that any Nat'l Guard can be nationalized without the acquiescence of their Commander in Chief, which is invariably the governor - The governor says go, and take your command from the feds, and in that they are nationalized.

No, they are the states' armies and are under the governors to send forth or call home at their whim.

So if Bitem tries to nationalize, he will have egg on his face, Abbott gives him the finger, and the Nat Guard does too.
With twenty other states in tow, and ready to stand with Texas, and loaning her their own guardsmen, The sacred blood of the West and of the South stand with Texas. All of that, ready to flip Slow Joe the finger. And they MEAN it.

No, ol Bitem will not escalate. he does not want to go against twenty states.

Texas again rejected DHS demands for full access to the Shelby Park area in Eagle Pass

VOZ by SABRINA MARTIN 1/27/2024

Texas again rejected Biden's demands for full access to the Shelby Park area in Eagle Pass, which was taken over by Gov. Greg Abbott earlier this month.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) sent a letter to Republican Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton insisting it wants unrestricted access to the area. But once again, Texas responded that it would only allow entry to Border Patrol personnel who need to respond to emergencies.

According to Fox News, DHS alleged that the federal government acquired real estate interests and, therefore, would have the right to access them. "Because the Department owns property rights to the areas depicted on the attached map, we demand that you immediately remove any and all obstructions therein," the letter states.

But Paxton responded to DHS and denied its claims: "With respect to parcels identified in your maps that are actually in the vicinity of the park, publicly available records suggest the United States does not even purport to own what your latest letter claims," he replied. Likewise, Paxton asked DHS to provide maps and titles showing the areas he claims are owned by the U.S. government.

Border Patrol Union Backs Texas National Guard, Slams ‘Catastrophe’ Biden ‘Has Unleashed On America’

DailyWire.com By Zach Jewell Jan 27, 2024

The official union of U.S. Customs and Border Protection released a statement on Thursday backing the Texas National Guard’s attempts to secure the southern border and slamming the Biden administration for its “catastrophic” border policies.

The National Border Patrol Council (NBPC), which has over 18,000 members, said that the “rank-and-file” Border Patrol agents “appreciate and respect” the measures Texas has taken to repel the record flow of illegal immigrants into the U.S. under Biden.

“TX NG and rank-and-file BP agents work together and respect each other’s jobs. Period,” the NBPC said. “If TX NG members have LAWFUL orders, then they have to carry out those orders.”

Earlier this week, Texas Governor Greg Abbott doubled down on using razor wire to repel migrants from illegally crossing the border after the Supreme Court ruled that Border Patrol agents have the authority to cut through the wire to allow illegal immigrants into the country. On Friday, The Daily Wire found that Texas authorities have not only maintained existing razor wire fortifications but have added razor wire to border barriers, all while continuing to bar Border Patrol from establishing a presence at Shelby Park in Eagle Pass.

Paxton:

By February 15, DHS must supply the official plat maps & deeds demonstrating the precise parcels to which they claim ownership, an explanation of how Texas is preventing access to those specific parcels, documentation showing that Eagle Pass or Texas ever granted permission for DHS to erect infrastructure that interferes with border security, & proof of Congress empowering DHS to turn a Texas park into an unofficial & illegal port of entry. If the federal gov. is going to make such claims, it must provide proof.
Presumably because you have no meaningful response to our letter, your latest letter abandons earlier factual assertions, asserts new ones, & supplies even less of a legal basis for your demand. Once again, I respectfully suggest that any time you might spend suing Texas should be redirected toward enforcing the immigration laws Congress already has on the books. As I said before, this office will continue to defend Texas’s efforts to protect its southern border against every effort by the Biden Administration to undermine the State’s constitutional right of self-defense.

Nice. Very nice.

Does Joe Biden WANT a Civil War?

Texas Scorecard by Sid Miller January 30, 2024

A house divided against itself cannot stand.

Economic warfare is warfare. Casus belli is a Latin term which means “a reason to go to war.” Joe Biden has just initiated casus belli against the state of Texas. In his effort to impose his tyrannical will on our great Republic, he has fractured our nation in a way that could be seen as the beginning of the end of the American Experiment if calmer and wiser heads don’t prevail.

Last week, the president of the United States cancelled all LNG projects in Texas in retaliation for our refusal to submit to an illegal invasion by criminal cartels, Islamic terrorists, and the worst actors from around the world including Iran, Russia, and even North Korea.

Biden’s open borders are a disaster of historic proportions. His irrational, ideological doggedness in continuing these policies is tearing our country apart.

Over 170 known terrorists have been apprehended at the border. How many more are among the hundreds of thousands of “got aways” for which we have no accounting?

President Biden, a house divided against itself cannot stand. You must stand down before you destroy the world’s last, best hope with your misguided and dangerous declaration of war against Texas and your open border insanity!

The Second Alamo

The Post & Email by Thomas Reiner 1/31/2024

“Come and Take It” — Texas Flag During the Texas Revolution

The First Alamo was a thirteen-day siege of the Alamo during the Texas Revolution where 189 Texian and Tejano defenders were massacred by the Mexican Army led by President-General Antonio López de Santa Anna. Being ignorant that Texans are the True Bada**es of AmericaTM, the Mexican Army was soundly defeated by the Republic of Texas six weeks later in the Battle of San Jacinto and skedaddled south of the Rio Grande. While President, Santa Anna acted as a tyrant, bankrupted the Treasury, suspended the Mexican Constitution and led Mexico into unnecessary conflict. This President who attacked Texas was completely incompetent. Sound familiar?

A Second Alamo is in the making by the incompetent mess currently occupying the Presidency in Washington, DC. Presidentish Biden has thrown open the Southern Border of the United States to an Army of Terrorists, Fentanyl Mules, Sex Traffickers, Cartel Operatives, and millions of military-aged men, especially from Communist China. Federal Border Patrol have been reduced to the role of cruise ship directors. Texas is standing up to this criminal behavior and Just Says No. The States have the Constitutional Right to protect their citizens, especially when the Federal Government allows an army to cross America’s borders. Biden is ready to launch a Civil War against Texas by federalizing the Texas National Guard and sending in troops if necessary. Texas will likely suffer its Second Alamo, but the victory of the Tyrants thousands of miles away in Washington will be short-lived. Twenty-five states have already signed support for beleaguered Texas. The Border Patrol is reluctant to move against the Texas National Guard. Americans of many stripes will stand up to The True Threat to DemocracyTM and will throw the Leftists out in the onrushing November general election assuming no next Virus hysteria.

So what is the “Come and Take It” business all about? The Texians used this phrase with a cannon embroidered on the Texas flag during the Texas Revolution. That cannon was supplied by the Spanish in 1831 and the Mexican Army asked, then demanded, that the Texians return the cannon. “Come and Take It” was the response. Game on. Next stop, the Alamo. Many wars later, General McAuliffe was similarly defiant to a German capitulation order with the simple eloquent, “Nuts!”

Barbed Wire protecting the United States/Texas border is now the object of the attack by the Federal Government on the Free People of TexasTM. The Supreme Court twisted itself by incorrect Constitutional Law, ruling that Biden can remove the barbed wire to reopen the border to the flood of Illegals. Texas has a response: “Come and Take It.” Texas will just replace it with newer, bigger and more beautiful barbed wire. The Court did not rule against that.

Border Patrol has "no plans" to remove razor wire placed by Texas along the southern border, a senior Customs and Border Protection (CBP) official told Fox News on Friday, stressing a "strong" relationship with Texas despite an ongoing legal battle between the state and the administration.

Texas is currently locked in a multi-pronged legal fight with the federal government over the security of the Texas-Mexico border. The federal government has threatened legal action over Texas’ recent seizure of Shelby Park near Eagle Pass, while lawsuits are ongoing over the administration’s cutting of razor wire set up by Texas and the establishment of buoys in the Rio Grande. Texas has declared that it has a right to "self-defense" against what it says is a migrant "invasion."
