11 Governors Stand Up To President Biden – They Just Headed Straight Down To The Texas-Mexico Border
https://americanjournaldaily.com ^ | October 6, 2021 | Daniel Ottomire

What’s Happening:

For months, we’ve seen the Southern border grow out of control. Reports indicate over one million migrants have flooded the country. More are on their way. Clearly, this is a situation that needs to end.

But, as you can imagine, Joe Biden is blatantly ignoring the situation.

Governors from border states have called on Joe to do something. His administration has ignored them. So, a team of Republican governors is taking matters into their own hands. And they are storming the border themselves.

From IJR:

Texas Republican Gov. Greg Abbott announced he will join 10 additional GOP governors for a news conference at the U.S.-Mexico border on Wednesday to address the growing border crisis…

“Texas National Guard is gearing up at the border for increased caravans attempting to cross the border caused by Biden’s open border policy,” Abbott tweeted Saturday.

A team of governors will be appearing at the Southern border today to address Biden’s ongoing crisis. These governors have petitioned Biden for solutions to this problem. But he has not responded.

The border crisis hurts more than just Texas and Arizona. Biden is bussing many of these migrants to communities across the country. Many more will find their way in cities from coast to coast. No one is immune to this issue.

So, it should be no surprise that so many governors are standing up to Biden. We can’t predict what these leaders will say. But it is likely they will use the moment to highlight this crisis. And to put pressure on Biden and his administration.

The MSM is all too happy to ignore the border, in order to protect Biden’s failing reputation. But when a team of governors appears at the border to blast the administration? That’s hard to ignore. These leaders might announce their own initiatives to combat the crisis.

It’s pretty shocking to think we have a “president” who is blissfully ignoring such a serious problem. Does Biden think he can let the border get worse and worse—and not suffer for it? Does he think he and his party will come out standing in 2022—with this kind of track record?

He really must be off his rocker. Key Takeaways:

-A team of Republican governors will appear at the Southern border. -The group, led by Gov. Abbott, will highlight Biden’s growing border crisis. -A number of governors have petitioned the administration, but have been ignored.

Abbott doing theater. Has he ever actually done anything to help fix the situation?

He has moved the TX OPS to the border and has made Del Rio safer.

Allen West will be a great governor.

I’m voting for Allen. No TX governor has ever done anything significant.

Abbott has done nothing on this. Nothing. It is just political theater because he has primary opponents. He’s also not enforcing his Order on Vax mandates. It is a weak Order but he has done nothing on it.

This is the truth! Abbott has just about nixed his chance for re-election. He has republican challengers that stated they would close the border in a heartbeat.

-—Biden is bussing many of these migrants to communities across the country. ——

In deep blue Chapel Hill NC the local Target set up new operations employing the illegal alien migrants as contractor employees to provide janitorial and other such labor.

Not only are they being moved about the country, the illegals are being provided jobs and we don’t know what all.

There is no law....... then there is no law protecting the lives of these invaders

Hard to ignore?!? Only if they line up at the border with a state militia pointing shotguns. I won't hold my breath.

Florida is forming its own State Guard.

Texas already has a State Guard.

Its possible that Oklahoma is also forming its own State Guard.

Trump got more done than any other. He got miles of wall built. He had both parties and the courts against him the entire way.

Your original post kind of riled me up. I realized we have shared posts before and have much in common. My apologies for the backstabber comment. I think maybe I missed something you intended with you comment that seemed to place blame on Trump.

You are in Texas. If your comment was coming from that you’d like to be able to defend your own property from the invaders yourself, as in old west justice, then I would support that. Especially since govt is either hand tied (under Trump) or derelict (Obama/Biden).

It’s coming to the point where the states are realizing that NOTHING coming out of the administration is benefiting, only hurting, them.

From the article:We must remember that Buck Fiden has little to do with this or anything else. His handlers are to blame for it all. FJB is just a shell that does whatever his handlers say.

They should all form independent state-directed militias, with no federal money or cooperation. Completely seperate

then send them to Texas border with permission from the state.


...Or they could just send their existing National Guards down to help out. Same thing as when States assist others for hurricanes or other natural disasters, they just won't have any offsetting Federal funding.

A governor can’t close the border in a heart beat. What hogwash! Governors are low totem pole people. President Trump almost got it done, but too many RINOS and leftist cheating stopped that. Some the fence is left laying on the ground, where the left want it.

These governors have petitioned Biden for solutions to this problem. But he has not responded...
 
 
To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid World.

          He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public Good.
          He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing Importance, unless suspended in their Operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them. 
          He has refused to pass other Laws for the Accommodation of large Districts of People, unless those People would relinquish the Right of Representation in the Legislature, a Right inestimable to them, and formidable to Tyrants only.
          He has called together Legislative Bodies at Places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the Depository of their public Records, for the sole Purpose of fatiguing them into Compliance with his Measures.
          He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly Firmness his Invasions on the Rights of the People.
          He has refused for a long Time, after such Dissolutions, to cause others to be elected; whereby the Legislative Powers, incapable of Annihilation, have returned to the People at large for their exercise; the State remaining in the mean time exposed to all the Dangers of Invasion from without, and Convulsions within. 
          He has endeavoured to prevent the Population of these States; for that Purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their Migrations hither, and raising the Conditions of new Appropriations of Lands.
          He has obstructed the Administration of Justice, by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary Powers.
          He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the Tenure of their Offices, and the Amount and Payment of their Salaries.
          He has erected a Multitude of new Offices, and sent hither Swarms of Officers to harrass our People, and eat out their Substance.
          He has kept among us, in Times of Peace, Standing Armies, without the consent of our Legislatures.
          He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil Power.
          He has combined with others to subject us to a Jurisdiction foreign to our Constitution, and unacknowledged by our Laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation:
          For quartering large Bodies of Armed Troops among us:
          For protecting them, by a mock Trial, from Punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States:
          For cutting off our Trade with all Parts of the World:
          For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent:
          For depriving us, in many Cases, of the Benefits of Trial by Jury:
          For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended Offences:
          For abolishing the free System of English Laws in a neighbouring Province, establishing therein an arbitrary Government, and enlarging its Boundaries, so as to render it at once an Example and fit Instrument for introducing the same absolute Rule into these Colonies:
          For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws, and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments:
          For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with Power to legislate for us in all Cases whatsoever.
          He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us.
          He has plundered our Seas, ravaged our Coasts, burnt our Towns, and destroyed the Lives of our People.
          He is, at this Time, transporting large Armies of foreign Mercenaries to compleat the Works of Death, Desolation, and Tyranny, already begun with circumstances of Cruelty and Perfidy, scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous Ages, and totally unworthy the Head of a civilized Nation.
          He has constrained our fellow Citizens taken Captive on the high Seas to bear Arms against their Country, to become the Executioners of their Friends and Brethren, or to fall themselves by their Hands.
          He has excited domestic Insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the Inhabitants of our Frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages, whose known Rule of Warfare, is an undistinguished Destruction, of all Ages, Sexes and Conditions.
