“I think Perry deserves credit.”
I agree. This action is going to cost the State of Texas a great deal of money.
I am hoping, as I am sure Gov. Perry is, that this will “shame” the POTUS into action. However, I doubt it will.
BTW - IF this was truly an “invasion” of our country (in the military sense) then the Regular Army could be legally used to repel it. I do not think the courts would consider the current situation to be such that regulars could be used because it isn’t a real “threat” to national security that requires a military force.(I would not agree with them though)
As I read the Constitution, it appears to be the state’s decision whether they are being invaded or not.
Article 1, Section 10: “No State shall, without the Consent of Congress, lay any Duty of Tonnage, keep Troops, or Ships of War in time of Peace, enter into any Agreement or Compact with another State, or with a foreign Power, or engage in War, unless actually invaded, or in such imminent Danger as will not admit of delay”
What??
This begs the question Sola:
Tens of millions entering the U.S. illegally, to the extent where they were found wandering around the inside of the private residence of Bush's Homeland Security boss, and nuclear submarine bases during war time is not a threat to national security?
Considering all the historic deadly economy changing terrorist attacks, tens of millions entering illegally from God knows where is NOT an epic national security threat?
Take your time here Sola...
BTW, specifically how in tarnation could the courts not see this epic invasion as a huge nation security threat?
I think they see very it very clearly..How could they not?
BTW, did the courts actually say this or rule on it?
If so I would love to see a link. Thanks.
