What do you think is the justification, or reason why these Governors have not taken matters into their own hands and closed the borders themselves?
I can think of a couple reasons,
1) It would be a violation of law, as Patrick pointed out in the OP video, The Supreme Court ruled that the Federal Government controls the border. Would the DOJ indict a Governor for violating Federal Law? This AG most certainly would. Would the leadership of the TX NG follow such an order knowing it was an illegal order?
2) Money, the first thing the Biden Administration would do is cut off all Federal funding to the State. No highway money, no education money, no Federal disaster relief money, no nothing. Do you think a State like TX could absorb such a devastating financial hit?
Don’t forget Steve Bannon and others are under indictment for helping to fund Trump’s border wall. Sending in the NG to violate law, would not go unpunished.
Asking for opinions?
1) Yes, Tejas NG would hold the border.
2) Block income tax payments to the fed.
3) Call for armed volunteers both resident and nonresident. The Texas NG would quadruple in size. My calendar is fairly open for the rest of my life.
