Governor Greg Abbott today issued a statement on Texas’ constitutional right to defend and protect itself as President Joe Biden continues to attack Texas and refuse to perform his duties to secure the border.

"The Executive Branch of the United States has a constitutional duty to enforce federal laws protecting States, including immigration laws on the books right now," reads the statement. "President Biden has instructed his agencies to ignore federal statutes that mandate the detention of illegal immigrants. 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."

Seditious Conspiracy. I would love a federal investigation as to who is funding and cordinating the flow of migrants and arms to the cartels. If there is any bit of texas government or major corporations (cough EXXON TESLA) deliberately making things worse or facilitating these conditions to then cry about the conditions they facilitated for political points. All to "oppose" federal policy or rule. I think that would fall under that.
