Texas Launches Operation Lone Star to Counter Biden Border Chaos

Recently-inaugurated President Joseph R. Biden is presiding over an increase in illegal entries, inspired by his campaign promises and policy adjustments, which encourage Latin Americans (and others) to make a run for the border.

Texas Governor Greg Abbott has responded with a Texas operation meant to counter the problem.

Now Texas is launching Operation Lone Star.

Needs repeating in every state.

Abbott should force Plugs’s hand.Order the National Guard to the border...in numbers...and force Plugs to order them to stand down.

I don’t believe that the FedGov has that authority.

[Slyfox]

All of the states in America are sovereign. They need to push back on all those Biden Executive Orders.

When the states do push back there will be no need to have a Convention of States. Our Founders provided that mechanism as a fail-safe, however if the states activate against the EO's then that is exactly the response that is needed.

Another thing, I hear talk about secession. That is easy, sexy talk. Why the hell should WE leave?

Sovereign states have more powers than they realize. They need to exercise them and push back. That is what would make our Founders very proud right now.

It is the best solution all around.

So is this civil war?

[Gay State Conservative]

It's my understanding that POTUS is the ultimate commander of all uniformed members of the Armed Forces...including Reserves,Army National Guard and Air National Guard.

IIRC there was at least one incident during the civil rights movement where a southern Governor ordered the National Guard to prevent a black student from entering a school. Soon after that order was given JFK "federalized" that state's National Guard and they stood down upon receiving that order.

[ShadowAce]

ahh--yeah, you may be correct.

I was thinking that they are strictly state employees.

So, what’s going to be done with the illegals?

If captured will they be deported? Will they be put in prison or work camps? Will they be transported to Mexifornia?

[going hot]

I don’t know. Maybe dumped via bus to sanctuary cities in blue states.

[kaktuskid]

Ship them to NYC, there are many empty hotels and office buildings

[proud American in Canada]

I have to hand it to Texas. Bold, creative thinking. Neither of which we have in D.C., for the most part.

Stopping black children from going to school is VERY Adifferent than stopping invaders.

[Gay State Conservative]

Very true.But the point of that exchange is that POTUS can countermand any order that a Governor gives to the Army National Guard or the Air National Guard.
