Texas is ‘Prepared’ If Biden Federalizes State National Guard: Gov. Abbott

“Well, first, I’d be shocked. That would be a boneheaded move on his part—total disaster,” Governor Abbott said. “ ... “Whatever we’ve been building, the Biden administration is now trying to attack us because of it, and we will continue to do exactly what we’re doing to expand our denial of illegal entry into the state of Texas.”

Gov. Abbott pointed out that state forces were already operating at the border and that he expects more forces to come to Texas from other state National Guards.

“There’ve been about ten [states] so far that have sent National Guard or other law enforcement … They now are joined together with us. This is a fight for the future of America, and they all know it. And so I believe that they will all be in on this effort.”

“It would be something to see US military troops pointing guns at National Guard troops to keep them away, while the Army tears down the border fences to let millions of South American come in.”

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Well, such a situation would put America a half inch away from a full-blown beginning of a civil war. That’s why I believe it won’t happen.

All the Red State governors have to make it clear to their respective National Guards that they are disregard all orders given by the President or any other member of the federal government. If they are not willing to go that far, this whole endeavor is pointless.

The title of the article is clickbait. In the first place, the quote from Abbott is about what Texas would do if the feds took down the barriers. it does not quote him saying what Texas would do if they nationalized the NG.

In the second place, although the feds could Nationalize the NG, I don't see how they could nationalize the Texas State Guard without a Constitutional Amendment.

That rattle would look great if it were a section of belted ammunition.

That assumes US military can make it to the site.

If biden federalizes the national guard in TX...”

10 USC 12301 requires State governors to consent to that.

Imagine, if you will, a “Mexican” standoff between the feds and the Texans when suddenly and consecutively a 30,000 caravan.of illegal immigrants show up just as a massive convoy of trucks do. Now throw in some f_b_I false flag agitators. Cooler heads had better prevail. And don’t forget, “there’s no basement at the Alamo”.

All orders? Even lawful orders?

I believe that the consent of the governor is required only for army and air units. So that consent would not be required for Marine or navy units. Not sure about Marine and navy air units.

My bet, Biden will back down, then, when crisis is seemingly over. Arrest Abbott and Trump for rebellion. FBI vs SS shoot out. In the fight both are killed. Congress takes away the Texas State Constitution and sends in a Governor General (a good Democrat) to end the revolt. All be over in a week. With Trump gone, Nikki will head the GOP Ticket! She may win, but nothing will change.

What drugs are you on right now? The craziest part of this fantasy is that you think everything would go back to normal after any of the above happened.

What can happen? If coup had Biden take over, what can citizens do? Watch the MSN, all is well and vote for Biden—unless they risk being sent to the camps. Face it folks, Americans have no guts or they would have changed things in 2020. I do not have faith in American People right now.

A sitting President is actually fighting A state so he can assist in a foreign invasion, and STILL Congress will not impeach this bastard. But Trump makes a simple phone call and they got impeachment on the table before he can blink twice.

Well houknow what? BIden cannot deploy the US Army or other military forces within the USA.

Posse Commitatis Act prevents it....but states can deploy their National Guard , in Texas its called the Texas Militia
.

***********************************************************
In the United States, a federal statute known as the Posse Comitatus Act, enacted in 1878, forbids the use of the US Army (and consequently its offspring, the US Air Force), as a posse comitatus or for law enforcement purposes without the approval of Congress.[17] The act does not explicitly mention the US Navy and the US Marine Corps, but the US Department of the Navy has prescribed equivalent regulations.[18] A directive in 2013 from the US Secretary of Defense directly addressed this issue and prohibited the use of the Army, Navy, Air Force and Marine Corps for domestic law enforcement.[19] The limitation does not apply to the National Guard of the United States when activated by a state’s governor and operating under Title 32 of the US Code, such as deployments by state governors in response to Hurricane Katrina.[20]

I’d love to see Texas National Guard troops taking the bolt cutters away from der kleine Führer Mayorkass’s Storm Troopers and throwing them in the Rio Grande to rust.

The same charges they charged Trump with.

Made-up ones.

That would be go-time.

I will not survive your bet.
