BREAKING: A Senior CBP Official tells FOX:

“the relationship between Border Patrol, Texas DPS, & TMD remains strong... Bottom line: Border Patrol has no plans to remove infrastructure (c-wire) placed by Texas along the border. Our posture remains the same.”

When the US Army shows up in armored vehicles nobody will fire a shot.

You don't think the Texas Rangers, DPS, and Texas State Guard has the same and more?

Even a small town police department I used to live in had a tank. I kid you not, a real freaking tank. Texas has a tremendous amount of hardware. Ft. Hood (will not use new name) is the largest base in the world, filled to the brim with Texans. Majority of combat officers come from Texas (A&M). Many Texans, are Texans first...

“When the US Army shows up in armored vehicles nobody will fire a shot”

That was my first reaction based on all the “keyboard warriors” here that won’t be there. LOL!

“The U S Army will not show up in armored vehicles. That would be the end of the democrat party.”

This I think will be the potential outcome. I think we may have Biden in a pickle with this one. it’s a no-win scenario for the Democrats & Republicans.

Has the State of Texas filed suit against the federal government for failing to defend the borders and protect the States from invasion as explicitly required by the Constitution?

Seems like: 1) a condition of invasion is be demonstrable by evidence; 2) Biden is flaunting federal immigration law on a massive scale; 3) the federal government has declared itself to have a monopoly on border & immigration enforcement. The abnegation of duty by the feds has led to enormous costs to the State, vast increases in crime, ruinous burdens on hospitals, schools, etc. Sue for relief including requiring the administration to control the borders, stop illegal immigration, and enforce the law.

What would happen if The US Army rushed in and crushes the “Rebellion”? General Millie leading the force of rainbow warriors and arrests or Shoots the Governor of Texas. Biden revokes the Texas State Constitution and it is treated as occupied territory and can not vote in the election. Trump could be blamed and not permitted to run for office due to the 18th amendment. And what would happen if an armed mob stormed the DC Jail and freed the Jan6 hostages? If Texas and the ten other states left the Union to form a new nation, Would Russia recognize the new nation? China? What if is a fun game to play but in real life its dynamite.

Abbot could have 250K armed texan volunteers in 72 hours if he put out the call

I think he already did that when he used the phrase "..other Texas personnel.." in his original letter.

It's a long way from the Red River to the Texas border. Lots of ground to cover and lots of Texas rednecks with lots of guns and ammo.

This is the start of a civil war. Let’s make it a short one.

Start an exponentially accelerating process of deputization of deputy sheriffs as well.

With all the false flag operations run by the CIA and DOJ/FBI in favor of the democrats, blowing up a places and letting the illegal immigrant DNC sanctioned hordes take the blame would be sweet to watch. Just image 50,000 immigrants dumped in Maryland, VA metro area being given tickets to Smithsonian along with bus tickets would be a hoot. Hell, even BLM might turn on the democrats with all the action down on the Rio Grande.

If Biden really does want to go full on Banana Republic, he’ll send some seals or other special forces and arrest Abbott. They’ll use helos. My son works in the Gov’s office, so hope he’s not there if that goes down.

I'm sure the Texas Rangers are looking for this to happen. They'll be waiting. It won't be a good day for the SEALs.

migrants need to be dropped off in places like Alexandria and Arlington VA, Chevy Chase, Potomac and Bethesda MD

That’s where the deep-state apparatchiks live - they don’t live in the crime-infested hell hole of NE DC

It is going to be hard enough to keep a sane lid on this mess without deputizing a bunch of red necks.

Abbott needs to coordinate the truckers to block the highways if Biden tries to pull a power play.
