The invasion is underway, and the next Alamo for Texas might be Eagle Pass.
Things are getting hotter than usual along the southern U.S. border, brought to a head by the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision earlier this month that allows the federal government to remove razor wire the Texas government installed along a section of the Texas-Mexico border.
While this would not normally be a problem, things are anything but normal along the border right now because the Biden Administration not only doesn’t want to do its constitutional duty to protect the country and enforce the laws of the land, it doesn’t want anyone else doing it either.
That doesn’t sit well with Texas governor Greg Abbott, whose state is receiving the brunt of record numbers of illegal aliens crossing the border and the problems that brings. In fiscal year 2023, federal agents had more than two million encounters with illegal migrants coming to the United States, not to mention how many made it over the border without being seen by the authorities.
In the wake of the decision, Texas has not only chosen to ignore the ruling because it denies the state’s “constitutional right to self-defense,” the state is apparently erecting even more razor wire along its border.
“The federal government has broken the compact between the United States and the States. The Executive Branch of the United States has a constitutional duty to enforce federal laws protecting States, including immigration laws on the books right now,” Abbott said. “President Biden has ignored Texas’s demand that he perform his constitutional duties.”
The Biden Administration now finds itself on a greased tightrope during an election year. If it cracks down on Texas for breaking the law by disobeying the Supreme Court, then what could very likely be a Republican administration

If Trump can be charged by states for fake crimes, it seems that states like Texas and Florida should be able to charge Biden and his accomplices for plenty of real crimes.
Yes.
I agree.
They won’t be charged for their real crimes and they control the DOJ and the justice system overall.
Why aren’t the “conservatives” in congress screaming to high heaven over this over-reach? Yeah, I know why. They want the illegals too.
Side note: Eagle Pass is where Mossberg’s factory is located where the Maverick 88 shotguns are built...I think.
And a reminder..
the bush league chamber of commerce worshiping republiCAN’Ts started this decades ago....
Don’t forget about them
God Bless Texas
Remember the ALAIMO is an old battle cry. The Alamo was defeated and they lost that battle but they won the war.
Hey, give the DemocRATS a break. They ran out of dead voters so they had to find a new crop of them. Stand by for them to try to give illegals the right to vote in the 2024 elections.

Exactly. Lawfare, Federal Crimes of Treason by politicians is a a capital offense.
“Secession belongs to a different class of remedies. It is to be justified upon the basis that the States are Sovereign. There was a time when none denied it. I hope the time may come again, when a better comprehension of the theory of our government, and the inalienable rights of the people of the States, will prevent anyone from denying that each State is a Sovereign, and thus may reclaim the grants which it has made to any agent whomsoever.”

Seeing Governor Abbot in his wheelchair reminded me of a picture of Moshe Dayan right after the Six Day War that was captioned “Hire the Handicapped “.
I read on The Conservative Treehouse that the Border Patrol field workers like the wire because it reduces their workload.
A tree branch fell on him and I believe he collected $12 million in legal damages.
From what I've heard and read, the BP calls the actions of the Texas military a "force multiplier."
So the feds will comply with Abbott’s demands and just close down Eagle Pass and then move the “flashpoint” to another, more “compliant” border state. Easy enough for it to do.
The thing that roils me though, is how the comments online everywhere by leftwing puke Americans repeat and imply the perverted mantra that the feds somehow have the RIGHT to either enforce, or NOT to enforce, the Constitution (as it has been doing on border jumping for decades), entirely at its discretion.
Like if the feds say the border must stay open, then it must stay open, and then the invasion, by some mysterious alchemy (e.g. “humanitarian concerns”), becomes legal.
Half the damned population believes this. And sees nothing wrong with any of it.
Yes, Biden is holding a losing hand. But like the idiot he is, he is about to go all in.
