This is new news, but it has been all over the news. Texas Governor Greg Abbott has placed his own national guard troops on the border in one particular spot and is not really allowing the Border Patrol in much.
Many Democrats (of course) are incensed as to how dare a state protect its own borders since the federal .gov is failing in its constitutional duty to do so. They want the President to take control of the Texas National Guard from the Governor of Texas.
Doesn't surprise me. The Democrats started our first civil war and they have been trying as hard as they can through their incitement rhetoric to start another for at least the last seven or more.
"As Texas Gov. Greg Abbott continues to tout the state’s right to self-defend itself from a migrant invasion, some Democratic lawmakers are calling on President Biden to take control of the state’s National Guard.
"Abbott issued a lengthy statement Wednesday, saying the federal government broke the compact between the U.S. and the individual states."
This part is just comical considering the source. Dude is a has-been since he said "Yes we're coming for your AK-47's" already yet the media trots him out like a prize horse.
"Former Rep. Beto O’Rourke, D-Texas, who is running for governor in the state, also called out Abbott for "using the Texas Guard to defy a Supreme Court ruling."
"When Gov. Orval Eugene Faubus did this in 1957, [President] Eisenhower federalized the Arkansas Guard to ensure compliance with the law," O’Rourke tweeted. "Biden must follow this example of bold, decisive leadership to end this crisis before it gets worse."
