On Wednesday, Representative Joaquin Castro (D-TX) called on President Biden to "seize" the Texas National Guard by calling them into Federal service, removing them from the command and control of the State of Texas. This is presumably in response to Texas Governor Greg Abbott's defiant tone towards the Biden Administration on closing the border.
A Texas congressman has urged President Biden to take the state's National Guard under federal control if Republican Governor Greg Abbott defies a Supreme Court ruling allowing federal agents to remove razor wire from a section of the U.S.-Mexico border.
The call was made by Democratic Representative Joaquin Castro after Abbott posted on X, formerly Twitter, saying the Texas National Guard would continue to "hold the line in Eagle's Pass," a popular migrant crossing point, stating: "Texas will not back down from our efforts to secure the border in Biden's absence."
Castro re-shared Abbott's post on his own X account, adding: "Governor Greg Abbott is using the Texas National Guard to obstruct and create chaos at the border.
As of this writing, there has been no action on this by the Biden Administration.
This idea by Rep. Castro raises some interesting questions:
1) Were the President to activate the Texas National Guard under Title 10, what would their orders be? To assist federal officers in throwing open the gates?
2)What happens if members of the Texas National Guard refuse activation and instead continue to follow the orders of TX-ANG officers and Governor Abbott?
3)What if the Texas Guard splits, and former comrades end up facing each other across that red line?
4)If the Pentagon sends federal troops... SNIP>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Biden and the Border Patrol have a legal right under US and Texas law to cut down razor wire at the border. 10 miles away? No rights at all. None.
That entire family are stinking COMMIES!
The Texas governor would veto any attempt to take the Texas natl guard away from Texas when they need them.
Any such move would confirm the admin is working against America
I'm pretty sure that the Biden admin is being extorted by China, and China is calling all these shots.
Could Abbott request Sheriffs to deputize thousands of armed civilians?
Then dare Biden to direct his goons into that buzz saw.
Why? Because they have had enough Illegal Voting Invaders yet?
:)
They don’t need no steenking ARs in Tejas!
No civil war.
Don’t buy a new house.
Avoid unnecessary use of invader labor. Learn to cook your own food and paint your own house.
If the remittances get reduced so will invader arrivals.
Fight invasion with your purses and wallets with as much might as you can muster.
Let your church know your contributions will stop if the invasion continues. Put a note on the $5/$10 bill.
Isn’t it interesting? All of the various leftist options in this escalating situation are
“take Texas to court”
“Seize the National Guard”
“Arrest Abbot”
“take back Eagle Pass”
Never is it: “secure the border”
It shows how extremely important replacing Americans with pliant immigrants is to them.
Unreal.
Perfect.
“The beast with two backs”

Manchin funded 100% of Joe’s crazy spending.
We must be within 12 months of an Election. When Manchin acts like he cares about peeps making less that $550,000

The new pastor at my FORMER church of 35 years, went full-in with the BLM/Hate America crowd. Fully 1/3 of the congregation left over 2 years. He still has his head in the clouds over this stuff - doesn't care if America collapses - said that in a sermon once
TX is on solid ground. i’d issue an arrest warrant for any fed trying to incite an insurrection on TX soil, including rep. castro though.
I agree. But first, Joe will probably send one of his handlers to the Governor's Mansion to meet Abbott. If Abbot does not submit to the federal authority, then Joe will have Abbot arrested.
As some have already pointed out...either way it brings attention to the border crisis. Not a good look for China Joe.
As I understand it, the SC ruling says Border Agents can cut the razor wire. But it doesn’t say Texas has to remove it or stop using it, correct?
What if Texas started using something else like Punji sticks besides razor wire? Would the SC ruling not apply to the Punji sticks?
Biden would send the Texas NG to Iraq, Syria, and Gaza leaving zero Guard in Texas.
