I seems like a great opportunity for Texas to reestablish its sovereignty by doing what it can to close the border. It appears that your governor is missing an opportunity. Not to mention the relief that would be felt by the rest of the country.

For everyone that is explaining why Abbot can't use the Guard or the limited numbers. Someday if our Republic is to be restored someone is going to have to take a big leap of faith and call the bluff of the communist/democrat/rino/pukes hands and do the right thing. Nothing is without risk. Pandering and side stepping are not going to work and playing chess with them has proven that they only cheat and change the rules. As Churchill stated, you cannot negotiate with the tiger when you have your head in it's mouth. The Australians are starting to see how it needs to be done. We should be taking notes. Cowardice and selfishness won't get it done either. Remember the 56 men that pledged their lives, fortunes and sacred honor? Now lets all put ourselves in their shoes. Are you/we willing to do the same?

.................This subject was brought up on the Mark Levin radio show the other day......IF Abbott deploys the Texas Nat'l Guard, then Biden can issue an EXECUTIVE order FEDERALIZING the Texas National Guard to then do what Biden wants. Abbott DOES NOT WANT to give away any more leverage to the executive branch under Biden. Therein lies the problem......

I know and understand yours, countless others and my frustration as well. But Abbott's hands are tied. He is sending 1K guardsmen to the border to see what Biden will do. Federalizing 1k is alot better than federalizing the entire 19K.

Before you all jump the gun and condemn Abbott, you need to understand what Biden has the federal authority to do even in Texas.






And what about the Texas Rangers? Are they also available to Executive Order?

Need to push the envelope, guys. Sooner or later, that useless POS Biden is gonna crack under pressure.

Both parties are Ok with the illegals coming in. The elite will never do the household chores or landscaping. Worker shortage is a major problem for a aspect of the economy. I think this flood has been planned by both parties in Washington. They are both winking at each other cross the isle. We need to purge the fruit from the tree of government.

Tucker Carlson Calls Out Gov. Greg Abbott for Inaction on Southern Border

https://texasscorecard.com/state/tu...-abbott-for-inaction-on-southern-border/

Fox News host Tucker Carlson is calling out Texas Gov. Greg Abbott for failing to call National Guard troops to the southern border and refusing to come onto his program, one of the highest-rated in cable news television.

“We open the show with horrifying pictures of what’s happened at our southern border, which is completely open. And this country is being invaded; no, that’s not an overstatement. More than a million people this year, expected by the rest of the world. It’s been going on for months,” Carlson said in a monologue on Tuesday night’s show. “And we’ve asked Texas Gov. Greg Abbott many times to come on this show to explain why he hasn’t called the National Guard to seal the Texas border and protect the rest of us from this invasion. Greg Abbott has refused to come on [the show] repeatedly. So pretty soon, possibly tomorrow, we plan to invite his primary opponents on the show to describe what they would do if they ran Texas. That might be an interesting conversation.”

“We’d like to give Gov. Abbott one more chance to come on, sincerely. Please, come on and tell us how you plan to save the rest of us from what is happening in your state,” he added.

The comments come in light of thousands of aliens—many from Haiti—swarming an international bridge in Del Rio in an attempt to enter the United States. This event is just the latest development in a surge of illegal immigration that has swept the southern border since President Joe Biden took office in January.

But while Abbott has taken some steps—such as surging officers from the Texas Department of Public Safety to the region—much of his response has pointed fingers at the federal government.

Last week, Abbott said he would close six points of entry with Mexico, but he reversed his decision just hours later, blaming the Biden administration for not cooperating.

Since then, he has written a letter to President Joe Biden asking for a federal emergency declaration as a result of the crisis at the Texas-Mexico border, but that request has not been granted.

Tuesday’s monologue is not the first time Carlson has expressed reservations about Abbott’s inaction in protecting the southern border. In May, during an interview with the Uvalde Mayor Don McLaughlin, Carlson said Abbott struck him as a "total fraud".

Backed off and "wrote a letter" to Biden. So compelling..

TX is one of several gateways into the US. If the illegals, the drugs, the terrorists and the disease were to enter TX then stay in TX , then your point would have legs, but that is not the case. What enters TX filters into the rest of America, so it is a big concern to all.

Hello Gov Beto.

Funny how this happens right after Beto steps in the ring.

I don't think Beto has a chance in hell of making it in politics ever again. His agenda has done him in. He thought he could make a splash as a radical and was well funded by rich radicals.

As for Abbott, there are arguments both ways. he is just a Governor and Obama and his minions in the judicial System made it clear during his reign that Governors were not to interfere in Federal business of border protection or lack thereof. Abbott has made a lot of noise but has had little effect on the disaster we are in. Had I been in his shoes I would've challenged the Federal authority and pushed it to the Supreme Court. We have been allowed to be invaded by malicious intent and all the States will suffer because of it. We are all in this mess together even if it initially effects Texas. if they manage to turn this state blue there will never be another election won by anyone but a liberal Communist.

Cornyn and his like in all the other states have been able to remain in power for so long because they are well funded and the laws they have supported have allowed them to retain their power while discouraging any challenge.
