I firmly believe The United States federal government has entered a constitutional crisis. Central authorities are unable or unwilling to defend our borders from invasion.

At this point we must ask ourselves if Texas and similarly minded Americans in other states should remain part of a federal government forsaking their well-being, safety, and security in violation of the compact under which we entered the union.

I'm with ya... let the liberals keep DC, NYC and the west coast...

A truly sad day. But it's meaning has gone unnoticed by 90 percent of the population.

Most of the youth of America, doesn't feel what we feel. We grew up in one of the roughest years our nation has lived thru.
We know what Patriotism is... younger kids are taught it is a mental disease, that military veterans get.

Many kids today can't tell you the nations we fought against in WW 2 and the Cold War. They can't even tell you the time period for the American Revolution, and most have never heard of the French and Indian War, and have no idea what either one was about.

They know even less about WW 1, the Spanish American War, Korea or Vietnam.

I'd rather pass, by fighting for my country, even at our ages, then passing away in a hospital bed or nursing home of old age. Kids today think that is a mental illness...

Most of America's youth or even non military experienced people, would give up Tic Tok, when it is nothing but an open spying program on our entire nation....but you can't convince them of that whatsoever.

Texas National Guard Responds to Supreme Court Order by Installing More Razor Wire. Good job Texas!

This is why we have a duty and responsibility to not follow illegal orders.

And the argument that the national level is above the state level does not apply in such a case, both from the legal theory that Texas can file to legally leave the union and because a national level government is destroying the national border. How is a self-destroying national level above any local level that does not want to be destroyed?

A national government melting down their own border illegally, with no authority, with no popular backing of the people, no backing of the laws, no ANYTHING....They cannot have the power and authority to issue illegal orders to a state or province to allow themselves to be overrun and destroyed.

No court can issue such orders without making itself a joke to be ignored while the obvious laws and US Constitution and Natural Right that a people have to have a border and to be secure within it.

The amount of US History my child doesn’t know shocks me. They are just not teaching it. So, on historically important days we discuss it in the truck.

War is past due...

Good post. Very true. We have lost our youth in this Country. I fear its to late to correct this problem. The left has been brain washing our kids in the school systems around the Country for years. In most cases, right under our noses without realizing what was really happening until fairly recently. If you talk to most young men today about going into the Military when they graduate High school, the answer you get is "Why would I ever do that." It's Sad.

I'm not so sure many older folks know the importance the world wars either, or why they were really fought, like saving the Bank of England in WWI; or establishing communism world wide in WWII, while destroying strong nationalist states. Forget Lincoln's War; that's settled religion.My youngest is red pilled at least, although he teaches in a "magnet school" full of woke nonsense, trannies and such. His generation was undereducated. We were miseducated on patriotic (globalist) propaganda.

Relying on public schools to raise our children is one of the main reasons this country is in the situation it is in. #societyofslowlearners

Friends often tell me that, from my knowledge and love of history, I should have went to college to become a history teacher.
My standard reply is that the history that I know, I would not be allowed to teach in school.
Seems to me I read somewhere that when the government no longer fulfills the purpose of the people, the people have the right to an abolish or change said government!
Myself, I would go even further. If the government is actually destructive towards its own citizens, we would have a RESPONSIBILITY to abolish or change it!
I have said before, Heaven is full of people that I have admired all my life. I look forward to meeting them. All fought for, and some died for this land I love.
I’m afraid they might spit on me, because I have done nothing.😟

I don't think the Supreme Court ruled wrongly - the Supremacy Clause was the basis of their decision.

The issue is and will be that the federal government is not enforcing its laws, and its pretty clear why. In the future there will be no red states unless we get these people out. From a census standpoint, states get electorates based on their population and at some point these people will be given a right to vote

Protecting the border isn't enough, states have to actively get these illegals out and back to their origin country, especially red states

The Supremacy Clause must be based on an established federal law--that a state cannot make a law which is contradictory to a federal law.

Is there a federal law which says that the country has to accept an unlimited number of illegal aliens?

Basically, there's nothing in the Constitution which says that the federal government has the power to force states to allow the country to be invaded.

The federal government *should* have troops on the border providing for the common defense and general welfare of the United States--which definitely *is* one of the enumerated powers of federal government outlined in the Constitution.

Article 1, Section 8 of the Constitution instructs the Legislative Branch to “provide for the common defense and general welfare of the United States.”

The federal government isn't defending the border of the United States and the influx of millions of illegal aliens isn't in the interest of the general welfare of the United States.

You are already doing a bit of this in the truck, thanks for that, but consider whether you have a way to cut "they" out of it entirely.

The feds are breaking the law by not enforcing border security but that doesn't give the states the right to overturn federal law.

What's the federal law that Texas is overturning by refusing to allow illegals into the country?

Gotta disagree sharply Brother, Its not the States responsiblity to actively get the illegals out and back to their Country.
Its the Federal Governments responsibility to keep them out. The Feds broke the contract.

Yeah, lets all bow down to the almighty Biden administration...

At SOME point, common sense and sensible men will enter the conversation.

It's been a total clown show thus far.

I've always felt that it is up to the States to hold the central government in check. The central government IS, after all, a creature of the States and it exists only by the consent of the States and under the terms of the contract we call the Constitution.

The Supreme Court, just like the rest of the central government has usurped much authority. We all seem to wait excitedly, holding our collective breath for their next decision to be handed down as though it were the Word of God. It is NOT. The States never agreed to allow the central government to define its own powers through edicts issued by SCOTUS. That would be absurd.

IMO, it's time for the states to stand together and tell the central government to pound sand, and maybe even begin to issue a general declaration of illegitimacy, or declarations of illegitimacy on specific questions.
