The Tenth Amendment to the United States Constitution explicitly recognized the states, representing their people respectively, as sovereign for any power not delegated to the federal government nor prohibited to them. As the late Justice Scalia reminded us in his partial dissent to Arizona v. United States, there is no clause in the Constitution or law depriving states of “the power to exclude from the sovereign’s territory people who have no right to be there.”

In addition, the U.S. Constitution has explicitly made an exception to the power of the federal government to engage in war to allow states to defend themselves—their territorial integrity and their citizens—against sudden or imminent foreign aggression (Article I, Section 10, Clause 3), which the Mexican cartels are currently engaging in at our southern border

Finally, under the Texas Constitution, Article 4, Section 7, the governor is commander in chief of the military forces of the state and has “the power to call forth the militia to execute the laws of the State … and to repel invasions.”

Thank you for this informative reply. Copying because it's so good. I was thinking about the tenth amendment. Gen.Flynn pressed that point of what states can do recently, I read on TS. There's a LOT they can do. If the governor and legislatures have their heads on properly and aren't enemies of the people or cowards.

Watch out for #HumptyDumptyLawyers* using the “interstate commerce” and “foreign commerce” clauses.
In league with their Talmudic Code of Federal Regulations.

*The law means exactly what I want it to mean when I say it. Nothing more or less.”

Something uplifting from OK’s Gov. Kevin Stitt. Link from GAW:

Looking now for articles/posts/etc. stating OK is going to follow AR’s lead in sending additional personnel. Will post anything I find (unless some kind soul has already done so).

Thank you LJ! Lots more good info at the link. Posted below for you, no paywall or anything.

And you’re right, there is lots the state can do with an informed and patriotic citizenry, Governor and Legislators.

Many seem to forget (or never knew) that States are not just meaningless boundaries of one country…States are countries unto themselves. We are “United” but not without the constitution or BOR.
