Congress has the trump card. We can refuse to fund activity we do not agree with. For instance, in March, when funding expires, we can put a rider in the next bill that says none of the money hereby appropriated can be used to countermand border security measures of the states.

“This power over the purse may, in fact, be regarded as the most complete and effectual weapon with which any constitution can arm the immediate representatives of the people, for obtaining a redress of every grievance, and for carrying into effect every just and salutary measure.”
—James Madison, The Federalist No. 58
How many congressmen rail against Biden’s transgressions yet still vote to fund them?
C’mon North Carolina!!! Let’s go!!
New Mexico, Arizona, and California combine to have about the same length of border as Texas.
Indeed. As I recall, Gov. DeSantis was first to ship illegal aliens to sanctuary cities. The good liberals of Martha's Vineyard didn't like it ...
Yes, so closing the Texas border leaves just as much that’s still wide open. The entire border needs to be sealed tight.
Indeed. Regardless, Gov. Abbott and his allies in other States are doing the right thing.
The democrat governors of NM, AZ, and CA are traitors violating their respective oaths of office. They deserve a traitor’s reward.
I expect nothing else from CA, and not much better from NM, but it’s especially galling to know that if Kari Lake hadn’t been cheated out of the governorship of AZ, she’d be right with Gov. Abbott, if not slightly ahead.
