Earlier (June 2023) What Can The States Do At The Border?
American news, social media, and the political class have been ablaze for weeks with the continually developing story of
Texas’ Governor Greg Abbott’s stand against
the Federal government in Eagle Pass. But this is just the beginning. Americans are well aware of the far-reaching powers of the Federal government. Many, however, don’t realize just how powerful state governments really are—if they decide to act.
The story in Texas began with the Biden administration’s treasonous refusal to actually secure the border. In response, the state government’s aptly named
Operation Lone Star, originally only a support mission to assist the Department of Homeland Security in its purported goal to secure the U.S. frontier with Mexico, evolved into a standalone operation to secure the Texan border with Mexico.
After the Texas Department of Public Safety took control of a park in the city [

Additionally, most of those illegals that do make it across are arrested by the Texas Department of Public Safety, and many are subsequently pushed back over the border into Mexico. Texas claims to have returned more than 80,000 illegal immigrants to Mexico, and arrested tens of thousands more for various crimes including drug trafficking [

As Texas put up more barriers and barred the Federal agents from accessing a public park, both the state and the Federal government made emergency appeals to the nation’s highest court. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in a 5-4 vote to allow the Department of Homeland Security to cut the razor wire fencing installed by the State of Texas along the border with Mexico [

In spite of this, Governor Abbott has announced construction of Forward Operating Base, a (National Guard) military base
costing $131 million in the Del Rio Sector [
