Will Texas and the Fed Boys be going at it?

The Constitution places the duty of border protection solely in the hands of the federal government.

Well then the constitution is telling us who is derelict of the duties, isn’t it?

That is something Texas does not have the authority to do.

Yes they can do it. It's just never been done. But the language is clear. The states have the authority to declare war and take necessary actions when invaded or enemies of the state are advancing on their borders. A hold over from 1793 when it could take weeks for a message from a far away state to get delivered to Washington. And months for a federal army to mobilize.

But quite legal. That's why the Constitution is called a system of checks and balances.

The Constitution says Texas does have that authority.

Article I  

Section 10 Powers Denied States

Clause 3 Acts Requiring Consent of Congress

No State shall, without the Consent of Congress, lay any Duty of Tonnage, keep Troops, or Ships of War in time of Peace, enter into any Agreement or Compact with another State, or with a foreign Power, or engage in War, unless actually invaded, or in such imminent Danger as will not admit of delay.

Perhaps you should read it sometime.

The really simple solution here is for Texas to move back 200 feet and erect a fence barring illegals from crossing.

Then allow USBP unrestricted access to the 200 foot buffer zone.

The feds can f*ck around and find out.

a reply to: peter_kandra

It's on pace to be more than 12 million by the end of the year.

There are currently more illegals entering the country every month than there are Americans being born.

And that's just the known illegals.

And again you just show how ignorant and naive you are.
Ever heard of something commonly referred to as the "non constitutional zone"?
It's a thing and Texas nor any state has absolute authority over it besides the fed.
So ya F around and find out.

Derp

It's laid out pretty clearly. I know reading comprehension is hard for tiny brains of communists.

But if you sound it out and use your vowels I'm sure you can do it.

a reply to: watchitburn


All you did was give your perspective. I see people willing to give it all to be part of the greatest country.
Anyways please stop calling those you don't agree with commies.
I do find it offensive and would really prefer to not be called such things.
McCarthy would easily clear me.

I'm asking as a user that has been active since 2012 and lurker since 2009.
I would give you the same respect. I ask can you do the same?

a reply to: Allaroundya4k

I don't give quarter to commies.

I've seen enough of your posts to know better. You can tell yourself anything you want. That's what commies do.

"Oh it's for the greater good, the party knows better."

Mao would be proud of you.

Pound sand.

Our govern has the spirit to take on the Dems, but I strongly suspects that he wants to be Trump's VP. --Or maybe the actual chief if Trump is eliminated one way or another.

Their first act here is illegal.

Apparently giving their all doesn't encompass legal means, but we already knew that...

You made the bed.
Now you get to sleep in it.
I'll remember this.
I asked you for common courtesy and you just pissed that away.
Ok well that happened. Good luck in life but fascist always go down in a blaze.
I expect some shooting at a walmart to happen soon after you realize you mom and wife have been gotten by someone that is here that isn't your color of skin.
Not my fault your a dick though.
I'll be here picking on you through your entire span of just being pissy because you always fail.

a reply to: Allaroundya4k

I can ask another for a test a common courtesy that may trip you or I out?
I would be interested to see how a real dude reacts to such a request.
Shall we test this?

a reply to: Allaroundya4k

No.

You made your bed you POS.

You and your ilk labeled anyone who disagreed with the party line as racist, right wing extremist terrorists.

You wanted us rounded up and put in camps for not wanting to take part in mass medical experiments.

You let children die needing organ transplants because they couldn't take the covid shots.

You let children have their genitals chopped off in the name of pedophile concocted gender theory.

You cheered as people were sent to federal prison for posting memes.

You cheered as an unarmed woman was murdered in cold blood for protesting an obviously fraudulent election.

You cheered while people were being silenced and their careers were ruined for speaking out against the covid shots or for saying men can't get pregnant.

You cheered while you're favorite celebrities said "f*ck our freedom"

You are my enemy.

And when it goes down I will laugh while drinking your blood from a boot.

Because you're a pedophile enabling communist POS.

Texas refuses to surrender migrant-packed Shelby Park to federal authorities after Biden admin sends cease-and-desist letter

Texas fired back at the Biden administration on Wednesday, informing the Department of Homeland Security that the Lone Star State will not comply with a demand letter insisting that the state allow federal border authorities into Shelby Park – a hive of illegal border crossings.

“Because the facts and law side with Texas, the State will continue utilizing its constitutional authority to defend her territory, and I will continue defending those lawful efforts in court,” Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton wrote in a letter to DHS General Counsel Jonathan Meyer.

“The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) should stop wasting scarce time and resources suing Texas, and start enforcing the immigration laws Congress already has on the books,” he added.

“Your letter misstates both the facts and the law in demanding that Texas surrender to President Biden’s open-border policies,” Paxton charges, adding that the missive “betrays a lack of on-the-ground understanding of what is happening in Shelby Park.”

Looks like Texas wont be working with the Joe Biden administration on this issue. And what insensitive does Texas have to work with the Biden administration when the administration has no issues lieing to the American people about Texas?

The White House and DHS on Saturday accused Texas officials of blocking Border Patrol agents from attempting to provide emergency assistance to three migrants – a woman and two children – who drowned near Shelby Park the previous night.

The Biden administration, however, has since admitted that the three migrants died at least an hour before Border Patrol sought access to the park.

But states refusing to work with federal immigration law enforcement isn't new.

Cuomo: ICE Is ‘A Bunch of Thugs’

New York governor Andrew Cuomo referred to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents as “a bunch of thugs” during his debate with his Democratic primary challenger Cynthia Nixon on Wednesday night.

NEW YORK -- A state appeals court in Brooklyn ruled today definitively, and for the first time, that it is illegal under state law for local law enforcement agencies in New York to make immigration arrests at the request of federal immigration officials.

“This critical ruling makes clear that police and sheriffs in New York not only should not, but cannot do ICE’s bidding,” said Donna Lieberman, executive director of the New York Civil Liberties Union. “The role of local law enforcement is to protect and serve all New Yorkers, and that is incompatible with the unlawful detention of our neighbors and family members at the behest of the Trump deportation machine.”

If it's acceptable for Democrat controled states to refuses to work with federal immigration enforcement; than it can only be acceptable that Republican controled states do the same.

Unless there is a double standard.

Good.

Glad to see Texas FINALLY stand up to the illegal activities of the federal government.

if they do duke it out my money is on texas.

I created this thread a month ago:

Texas Gov. Abbott Signs Bill Which Allows Arrest Of Border Crossers

Now, what I would like to know is how many illegal immigrants have been arrested and sentenced to jail because of the new laws in Texas? I haven't heard a word about those new laws Texas passed actually being used. Why not? Will nobody actually do anything to stop the illegal immigration problem? It's killing the United States Of America.

I’d like to know the numbers being arrested as well.
Here’s an article stating arrests on Wednesday night, single men and women charged for criminal trespassing.

Thanks for that link. Although the article doesn't list how many are being arrested, it does say that they're not arresting everybody. Just single males and females.

You gotta catch 'em all, or it's just not gonna work. Stop that flow of Illegals dead. Get Raid if you have to.
