My statement on Texas’ constitutional right to self-defense

[excalibur]

God bless Governor Abbott.

And had either Roberts or his toy Barrett gone along with Thomas, Alito, Gorsuch, and Kavanaugh we wouldn't be here right now.

This isn't a self-defense issue. Texas isn't being invaded by a foreign military.

Right, just terrorists and criminal gangs.

I like it:

“James Madison, Alexander Hamilton, and the other visionaries who wrote the U.S. Constitution foresaw that States should not be left to the mercy of a lawless president who does nothing to stop external threats like cartels smuggling millions of illegal immigrants across the border,” Abbott continued, citing Article IV Section 4 which says the federal government “shall protect each [State] against invasion” and Article I, Section 10, Clause 3 which says the states have a “sovereign interest in protecting their borders.”

“The failure of the Biden Administration to fulfill the duties imposed by Article IV, § 4 has triggered Article I, § 10, Clause 3, which reserves to this State the right of self-defense. For these reasons, I have already declared an invasion under Article I, § 10, Clause 3 to invoke Texas’s constitutional authority to defend and protect itself. That authority is the supreme law of the land and supersedes any federal statutes to the contrary. The Texas National Guard, the Texas Department of Public Safety, and other Texas personnel are acting on that authority, as well as state law, to secure the Texas border.”

Which terrorists are you talking about...because they have to be the slowest terrorists ever. You guys have been claiming to find Muslim Prayer rugs since 2002.

There were 736 of them apprehended in 2023. MSN

Even Wray acknowledges that our open border poses a serious national security threat FBI Director Wray Confirms the Border Crisis Poses Major Homeland Security Threat, DHS Secretary Mayorkas Stonewalls – Committee on Homeland Security

I don’t know why YOU don’t know this.

Right, just terrorists and criminal gangs.

And all KKKs are good people.

 

[rightwinger]

Where in the Constitution does it say a State has a right to defend itself?

 

[Lord Long Rod]

And all KKKs are good people.

A swing and miss!

The border will be Bidens legacy. Even if he is re-elected and WWIII breaks out. I mean, I hear Europeans on youtube suggesting that the continent of North America should be renamed North Mexico.

At a time in which the world is seeking the best, brightest and most advanced immigrants to help their economy succeed, you have millions of unskilled workers taking jobs from the poorest Americans who now have to compete with machines AND each other.

What's the point of a border if we allow illegal aliens from a plethora of countries to just .. come on in and claim asylum?

 

[Vrenn]

A swing and miss!

Note the sarcasm that you took seriously. Sheesh, what a crowd.

 

[BackAgain]

Who says it has to be by a military?

 

[Rawley]

Where in the Constitution does it say a State has a right to defend itself?

Article I, Section 10, Clause 3

Run along, Guv. When even Conservatives on the SC turn you down, you know you lost.

No, YOU can run along. Abbott and Texas will continue to throw these lawbreakers out. Or just send them to you, JoeB, and the rest of the invader lovers here.

 

[Lord Long Rod]

Note the sarcasm that you took seriously. Sheesh, what a crowd.

It did not necessarily seem sarcastic given how many leftist dolts here would seriously post the exact same thing.

 

[JoeB131]

There were 736 of them apprehended in 2023. MSN

And yet there were ZERO terrorist attacks carried out in 2023.

Worst. Terrorists. Ever.

Bummer. Next time one decides to invade, you should probably bring arms. It's ***** like you that would have the US roll over for countries like China, because they could throw millions of "refugees" at us tying our military hands. You're either a one dimensional thinker, or a flat out traitor. I'll let the board determine that....
