Just no. And any Republican who goes along with it should primaried (if not recalled outright).
Get a couple recalled, and you can bet that the others will suddenly see the light!

not backing down. He is having none of it.
Abbott said that Biden’s failures to secure the border “imposed by Article IV, § 4 has triggered Article I, § 10, Clause 3, which reserves to this State the right of self-defense.”
… “For these reasons, I have already declared an invasion under Article I, § 10, Clause 3 to invoke Texas’s constitutional authority to defend and protect itself,” he concluded. “That authority is the supreme law of the land and supersedes any federal statutes to the contrary. The Texas National Guard, the Texas Department of Public Safety, and other Texas personnel are acting on that authority, as well as state law, to secure the Texas border.” [emphasis added]
In case you didn’t understand, he is saying that the SCOTUS ruling is null and void in Texas because it is superseded by the Constitution.
The short response from Abbott?: Your money’s no good in here.
The ball’s in your court, Feds…
UPDATE: But even so, did SCOTUS rule that Texas had to allow illegal immigration? Perhaps not. But it is a complicated legal matter.
So, at this point, there simply is not a court order in this case governing who can do what to the concertina wire. The Government is free from the restraints of any court order forbidding it to destroy the wire. But, just as the Government was legally free to continue destroying wire after the TRO was filed but not entered, Governor Abbott is likewise free to have the Texas Rangers or National Guard safeguard the wire and block the feds from destroying its property (at least until Biden federalizes the National Guard).
Basically, the SCOTUS ruling was that the Feds were no longer prohibited from cutting the razor wire. That’s pretty much it.
with the traitorous open border. Making it even worse! Even in his own words, the border is a HUGE problem. And we simply cannot trust this senile old turd to fix it.
Let’s take a hard and rather disturbing look at his crap-eating hypocrisy:
The Free Beacon’s Drew Holden notes that last week Biden acknowledged the border is not secure. “I haven’t believed it for the last 10 years,” he said (even though President Trump achieved relative security during his term). Has President Obama heard?
is. EVERYONE knows what the deal is, and even some Democrats are nervously looking at their shoes because of it!
On Saturday, Biden told reporters that there is no need to worry about the southern border despite illegal crossings surging to record highs because there was no crisis, suggesting it is nothing more than a Republican scare tactic.
… Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) called Biden “delusional” and said that the “truth is that he is the most dishonest, corrupt, and incompetent President in American history.”
going to be really interesting to see how this shakes out!
Democrats really don’t have any good options when it comes to illegal immigration.
Joey, even though you are basking in the Caribbean sun and sucking down pudding cups? The rest of us sure do!
A record-breaking amount of border crossers stormed the United States in December, with 276,000 apprehensions— the highest ever on record.
As Americans suffer, cartels are making billions by bringing illegal migrants to the U.S. Similarly, Biden is enjoying his New Year by spending his 400th-something day on vacation in the Caribbean while the border slowly burns.
Thanks mean evil Joe!
<shakes head>
But hey, Emperor Joe says that states can’t just defend themselves since HE won’t fulfill his oath of office!
Aren’t you sick and disgusted with this yet?
isn’t important! Is it?
December is not quite over, and as Catherine noted earlier today, 250,000 illegal aliens have crossed the border this month — more than the number of people who stormed the beaches on D-Day.
…I’m 99 percent certain that at least a little bit of this is [the] Chinese military infiltrating for reasons harmful to our national security. Is it one person, is it a hundred, is it a thousand—we don’t know, but the fact that we have to ask this question is just outrageous. Clearly, that border is a big opportunity. Some of those people want to come here and have a better way of life, but I think some of those Chinese [nationals] quite possibly are here to spy and report back at a minimum.
Thanks a lot. Way to go…
Hey Biden, how about you fulfill your oath? That would sure be nice.
