64 Times the Biden Administration Intentionally Undermined Border Security

Why does it matter, and to whom? States can't declare war, or start murdering migrants, pretending they're enemy combatants, or intern them as Prisoners of War.

It matters to EVERYONE that half the states in the USA have declared this an invasion because that means half the states in the USA have said that the US Constitutional agreement is broken and that they can protect themselves from the invasion since the federal government won't. With a broken Constitutional agreement, that means that states CAN declare war, imprison illegals, deport illegals, etc etc.

That's why it matters what they say. It has very far reaching consequences.

Still, Not an act of war or terrorism.

It doesn't have to be an 'act of war'. Article 1, Section 8 says ... INVASION.
Tens of millions of people swarming across the border and harming America.
That's an INVASION.

Right, that's what you say, as you're screaming and shaking your fist at the sky. I don't think most people agree with, or approve of Gregg Abbott's play book here. Especially now, while republicans refusing to take up the immigration bills they campaign promised they'd take up.

Again, states can't declare war and governors can't declare immigrants enemy combatants, to be shot on sight. If anything is to be done by Abbott's war cries, it's Congress that has to do it. Yet, you have Speaker Johnson refusing to even take up the Senate's bill for debate in The House.

This is Republican hyperbolic Chicken Little's Sky is Falling" political theater, nothing more. Nothing less.

Big YAWN...

Article I, Section 8 clearly says that the government has - "To provide for calling forth the Militia to execute the Laws of the Union, suppress Insurrections and repel Invasions".

Right, except "friendly aliens" are not enemy combatants. You can't just change definitions to suit your biases.

Congress has every right, under Article 1, Section 8, to pass laws to address the immigration problems and fund their enforcement, but they haven't. The last time Congress passed any significant immigration laws was in the 1980s.

There you go again assuming 200 million people and courts will accept your definition of "enemy combatants". "enemy combatants" isn't defined in the A1,S8. 😀 who died and left you king anyway?

Clause 1 allows for "Import" Duties taxing on every incoming Migrant from their nation of origin's government!! 😃

just to name one

And....?
How is the clause "broken"?

Biden Admin isn't declaring duties on incoming Migrants. That's how. 😀

States have rights to declare an invasion and define it. 😀
Show us where they don't. I dare ya 😀

a reply to: Sookiechacha

Democrats are using "Asylum" and "Hearings" to flood the cities with poverty Migrants. They purposely are not hiring enough immigration judges to handle the millions of cases. They currently have around 650 judges. That's all. 😀

1 - I'm not screaming and shaking my fist at the sky. That's what the far left does when it doesn't get it's way and I'm not far left. I go Libertarian. So you are confused.

2 - No, what I said is true. If you weren't so biased you would see it. It is important that half the states have said that there is an invasion going on. That means half the states are ready to say that the US Constitutional contract has been broken. That means half the states could be declaring war and arresting illegals and deporting illegals etc etc etc. That is why it matters what they say. CONSEQUENCES happen from what they say whether you agree with what they say or not.

I don't think most people agree with, or approve of Gregg Abbott's play book here.

Half the states do. And it doesn't matter how many people or states do ... what matters is that Texas has declared an invasion and Texas is therefore declaring the Constitutional contract broken and the right to self protection. It doesn't matter if you agree with it or not.

States can do anything they want now just like blue states have been doing ignoring the constitution and bill of rights so much for years. You should be happy to see your own championed policies are being used everywhere, but you were warned before that it would come back to rip you a new one.

You're just crying at the sky because the tables have turned and your precious deviencies are being challenged using the same methods.

The only difference is that you have always been wrong, and Texas is simply following their constitutionally approved protocols. Saying they are violating the law is an obvious lie. And even if it isn't, it's your own values being used against you, which is fair and par for the course.

She made up the terms 'friendly aliens' and 'enemy combatants'.
Article 1, Section 8 doesn't say anything about that.
It just says INVADERS.

Yeah .. it matters very much. At least half the states agree ... INVASION.Yeah .. it matters very much. At least half the states agree ... INVASION.

No, it doesn't matter. States can't declare war. Migrants can't be shot for trespassing.

Trespassers can be shot. It's against the law to trespass 😀

And, INVASION, according to an invasion of people, requires there to by ENMITY.

Tens of millions of people swarming across the border and harming America.
That's an INVASION.

No, it isn't. It's immigration.

The Migrants don't know where the points are. The Cartels (making billions of dollars) "guide" them to the points of least resistance. 😀

... and with a broken Constitutional contract, states CAN declare war; CAN jail illegals; CAN shoot invaders, etc etc. That's why when half the states in the USA declare an invasion and support for Texas in it's self defense IT MATTERS. Agreeing with that support or not .... consequences come with that support ... so it matters.

No it doesn't. You keep making stuff up.

No. Immigration is when people want to come to this country so they apply to come here legally and go through the proper legal channels. On the other hand - tens of millions swarming the border and causing damage to this country is not immigration. It's INVASION.

LOL you never learn. Immigration goes through legal channels, applications and interviews with district consulates.

Invasions just sneak in, and that is illegal, criminal, etc. Even kindergarten students learn this. Perhaps finger painting was more your forte'?

Yup. 👍

You really need to start citing your claims from any of The Grimm's Fairy Tales. Many apply. 😀

What law(s) give The Biden Administration the right to issue work permits to Migrants waiting for hearings? 😀

We'll see.

I say this is hyperbolic political theater that will result in nothing, no new laws, no new wars, no new funding and more fake outrage from Republicansand their "do nothing" House of Representatives.
