I agree. But first, Joe will probably send one of his handlers to the Governor's Mansion to meet Abbott. If Abbot does not submit to the federal authority, then Joe will have Abbot arrested.

Abbott can set up a perimeter where no one who is armed is allowed to cross. A few hundred armed militia should suffice. Call it texas home land security, checking for and confiscating all assault weapons.
I would not be surprised if thousands of volunteers happily show up.
Joe can call all the F-15s he wants, but I am optimistic that no USA pilot will bomb or strafe US citizens. Even from today’s USAF.
