Joe Biden, or more likely his handlers, levied an ultimatum on Thursday, demanding that Gov. Greg Abbott relinquish control of the "disputed" border areas Texas has been securing. That came after 25 states joined together to pledge their support to Abbott as he battles the federal government and its refusal to enforce immigration laws.

Article 31. - Refugees unlawfully in the country of refuge
1. The Contracting States shall not impose penalties, on account of their illegal entry or presence, on refugees who, coming directly from a territory where their life or freedom was threatened in the sense of article 1, enter or are present in their territory without authorization, provided they present themselves without delay to the authorities and show good cause for their illegal entry or presence.
2. The Contracting States shall not apply to the movements of such refugees restrictions other than those which are necessary and such restrictions shall only be applied until their status in the country is regularized or they obtain admission into another country. The Contracting States shall allow such refugees a reasonable period and all the necessary facilities to obtain admission into another country.
Article 32. - Expulsion
1. The Contracting States shall not expel a refugee lawfully in their territory save on grounds of national security or public order.

3. The Contracting States shall allow such a refugee a reasonable period within which to seek legal admission into another country. The Contracting States reserve the right to apply during that period such internal measures as they may deem necessary.

The Refugee Convention by permitting illegal entry (and entry upon any request) makes it impossible to secure the border. We need to get out from under the Refugee Convention.
Article 44 - Denunciation [getting out from under the Refugee Convention]
1. Any Contracting State may denounce this Convention at any time by a notification addressed to the Secretary-General of the United Nations.
2. Such denunciation shall take effect for the Contracting State concerned one year from the date upon which it is received by the Secretary-General of the United Nations....
NOTE: I do not trust any politician who has not called for invoking Article 44 to get the US out from under the Refugee Convention.
And my distrust extends to Trump and DeSantis.
The Refugee Convention must be removed from the Democratic Party toolbox by invoking Article 44. It does not serve a constitutionally authorized federal purpose. It is incompatible with “The United States shall...protect each of them against invasion” clause of Article IV, SECTION 4.
Yay! I sense a groundswell!
Here’s how ya do it: Abbott for VP, Cornyn for Governor of TX (i.e. get him the hell outta the Senate), and Mayra Flores for that Senate seat. Works for me.
Come And Take It
I am too crippled up to be of any military use. But I suspect people with more mobility than me are gearing up. I would not surprised if shooting ranges did a booming business today.
Volunteer Milita from many states are on thier way to the border.
If Trump wins this time (unlikely). The cities will burn the day after the election. Joe Biden will do nothing. It's just SOP by ANTIFA/BLM.
Texas files suit on the basis of the 10th amendment
no they didn’t. they had a ruling to make and made a ruling the wire could be removed (in line or not with constitution that’s what they ruled)
we already know they word or rule things in ways that are not always in line with constitution, it’s how. our country got largely off track.
they have no authority to order a state to do some thing OR They would have told Texas THEY had to remove the wire. all they ruled was they wire can come down.
UN tents? I can’t tell on my screen.
This what Obiden wants to declare martial law and cancel the election.
My oh my. If you have a million armed citizens from all iver the country…. It could get juicy. Federal troops cold disobey orders in masse from their cadre of woke Lieutennants.
Washington will be occupied. Revolution
exactly ,the SC cannot order a state to do anything. It can only rule about what they decide is in line or not with their interpretation of the constitution and previous such situations.
I agree they(USSC) added fuel to the Biden lit fire of invasion by saying the wire can be cut, but as other threads point out they didn’t say more wire can’t go up, so they in a sense ruled by kicking it back to the state and fed govt to figure it out.
I would think that would be an “UNLAWFUL ORDER” when he’s asking them to act against the REPUBLIC OF TEXAS, which is a legal state of the United States when that State (TEXAS) has repeatedly asked for Federal Assistance in controlling ILLEGAL ENTRY into the United States and has been REPEATEDLY REFUSED BY FEDERAL AUTHORITIES!
ruling against or in favor of is not ordering as was originally worded in the post that I replied to.
Been there for quit a few years now.
At my age prison holds no fear for me, FREE HEALTH CARE, FREE DENTAL, FREE EXERCISE ROOM, FREE FOOD, FREE ROOM, and the “prison” list goes on!
Sounds more like a relief of cares to me.
“think about the reaction any Texan would take to that.”
I think most Texas Democrats won’t care. Their god is the Democrat party.
