The federal government has willfully abandoned its duty to defend the states – and the citizens who reside within them – from the ongoing invasion. However, states possess the authority, right now, to remedy Washington’s abrogation of its Guarantee Clause obligations.
Executive Summary
The United States is facing an unprecedented crisis along its southern border with Mexico. Violent transnational criminal organizations control large swaths of the border. Nearly two million illegal immigrants were apprehended by Border Patrol agents in the last year. Another estimated 400,000 individuals evaded authorities and disappeared inside the interior of the country. Federal agents have seized record amounts of fentanyl, heroin, and methamphetamines, and record numbers of Americans have died from drug overdoses and opioid poisonings. Local jurisdictions face serious strains on their resources, such as contending with crime, burdens on community resources, and exploding student numbers, particularly students with above-average needs such as English as a second language (“ESL”).
The federal government has been idle in the face of this unprecedented invasion. In some respects, federal officials have even encouraged it. This failure to protect the states against invasion is a direct violation of the Guarantee Clause at Article IV, Section 4 of the Constitution. That clause establishes three guarantees owed by the federal government to the states: the maintenance of a republican form of government in every state, protection against invasion, and protection against domestic insurrection.

The Guarantee Clause
The text and original meaning of Article IV, Section 4 of the United States Constitution clearly support the conclusion that all branches of the federal government, including the judiciary, are obligated to perform their respective constitutional functions so as to protect each of the states from any kind of lawless invasion that may occur.
Article IV, Section 4 states:
“The United States shall guarantee to every state in this union a republican form of government, and shall protect each of them against invasion; and on application of the legislature, or of the executive (when the legislature cannot be convened) against domestic violence.” (Emphasis added)
The Guarantee Against Invasion Is Unconditional

Yeah, I know. I call it the “equalization protocol”. The plan is to remove all borders and sovereignty to make both North America and South America one big globalist district and equally poor.
As the first step towards the final total globalization.
