Dems call on Biden to seize control of Texas National Guard

[seafoam1 3,023]

Who wants to be dictatorial?

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.

"The Executive Branch of the United States has a constitutional duty to enforce federal laws protecting states, including immigration laws on the books right now," Abbott said. "President Biden has refused to enforce those laws and has even violated them."

Abbott is fighting multiple legal battles with the Biden administration, which has threatened legal action over Texas’ seizure of Shelby Park near Eagle Pass. Texas has also filed lawsuits against the administration, which cut razor wire set up by the state on the Rio Grande to prevent migrants from illegally crossing into Texas, as well as the establishment of buoys on the river.

While Abbott issues statements about the Biden administration overstepping its authority, Democratic lawmakers like Rep. Greg Casar, D-Texas, is accusing the governor of taking a play out of former President Trump’s playbook.

"Greg Abbott has continued to use political stunts and inflammatory language to advance his own agenda, violating the Constitution and endangering both U.S. citizens and asylum seekers," Casar posted on X. "Abbott is following the Donald Trump playbook: making immigration harder and more dangerous, so asylum seekers are pushed into the hands of cartels and the system remains broken."

Casar continued with a string of posts, saying he agreed with Rep. Joaquin Castro, D-Texas, who on Tuesday tweeted Biden should seize control of the Texas National Guard.

 What you (and every sensible person on the planet) call an invasion, they call a voter registration drive.

What is amusing is that they are effectively seeking "asylum" from the kind of country liberals want to create.

Liberals prefer to destroy history based knowledge, or simply alter it,  rather than learn from it.

This is such a losing issue for Democrats. People in focking New Hampshire just listed immigration as the number one issue in the country - and that poll included Democrats by the way.

When the Cold Civil War turns hot, it will be because of this issue, and Texas will be on the front lines.  Can’t wait.

Who sent them to Martha's Vineyard? And I don't think that was when Obama was POTUS.

Biden is in a tough spot. Does he really force open the border during an election year when illegal immigration is a top Issue for Americans?

25 states are backing Texas up & have sent troops/cops to help. Biden has already threatened using F-16s which if he does will be the nail in his literal coffin cause that will cause a civil war & any chance he or any other democrat had at a chance being in power. They know this but Biden still slipped up with the F-16 comment. Either way, it’s a losing battle. He needs to just back off. Everyone in this country is fed up with the border. Now he wants more billions of dollars to “fix” it. No Joe, go ask Ukraine for they money they owe us that you rather have given to them than you would help your own people

We found no evidence in speeches, public appearances or news articles that President Joe Biden threatened to send F-15 fighter jets to the southern U.S. border to "wage war" with Texas. A White House spokesperson said this claim is false.

Tensions between Texas and the Biden administration have been high as the state and federal governments have clashed over access to part of the U.S.-Mexico border.

As tensions simmer between the Texas government and the Biden administration over access to part of the U.S.-Mexico border, some social media users are claiming President Joe Biden threatened to dramatically escalate the issue.

In a Jan. 13 TikTok video, President Joe Biden appears to say, "We’re going to make sure those cowboys don’t stop the surge of military-age men from entering. If we have to send F-15s to Texas here and wage war against Texas, so be it." (F-15s are tactical fighter jets used by the U.S. Air Force.)

Biden doesn’t appear in the TikTok video, although a voice that sounds like his does. The video shows images of military service members at the U.S.-Mexico border and a large crowd of migrants waiting to be processed in Texas. Text on the video reads, "Who is more treasonous, the tyrant or the people (who) let it happen?"

Another TikTok video, shared Jan. 14, included the same audio clip of Biden supposedly threatening to wage war on Texas. TikTok identified these videos as part of its efforts to counter inauthentic, misleading or false content.

People all over the country on both sides think this is a major problem.  Biden has been derelict in his duty to uphold our borders.   I was in El Paso in the summer and it is a disaster.  That is only one town. Residents there are disgusted and scared that their town is gone forever.

In recent weeks, Trump has been lobbying Republicans both in private conversations and in public statements on social media to oppose the border compromise being delicately hashed out in the Senate, according to GOP sources familiar with the conversations – in part because he wants to campaign on the issue this November and doesn’t want President Joe Biden to score a victory in an area where he is politically vulnerable.

Senate GOP Leader Mitch McConnell acknowledged in a private meeting on Wednesday that Trump’s animosity toward the yet-to-be-released border deal puts Republicans in a serious bind as they try to move forward on the already complex issue. For weeks, Republicans have been warning that Trump’s opposition could blow up the bipartisan proposal, but the admission from McConnell was particularly striking, given he has been a chief advocate for a border-Ukraine package.
