“If Gov. Abbot were serious about the issue he’d also declare a state of invasion and call the National Guard up to militarily secure the border.”

Actually, the National Guard would be federalized by Obamaweasel and ordered to stand down.

Governor Abbott should call up the Texas State Guard instead. The State Guard cannot be federalized and the Governor is the Commander in Chief.

And THAT is exactly why it should be the National Guard that’s called up — if that was to happen it would be prima facie evidence of Treason.
It would undoubtedly be “giving aid” to the enemies of that State.

Oh, I’m not saying he shouldn’t call them up, too.
