The following statement was issued by Texas Governor Greg Abbott concerning the border crisis.
GOVERNOR GREG ABBOTT
January 24, 2024
The federal government has broken the compact between the United States and the States. 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. President Biden has refused to enforce those laws and has even violated them. The result is that he has smashed records for illegal immigration.
Despite having been put on notice in a series of letters—one of which I delivered to him by hand—President Biden has ignored Texas’s demand that he perform his constitutional duties.
- President Biden has violated his oath to faithfully execute immigration laws enacted by Congress. Instead of prosecuting immigrants for the federal crime of illegal entry, President Biden has sent his lawyers into federal courts to sue Texas for taking action to secure the border.
- President Biden has instructed his agencies to ignore federal statutes that mandate the detention of illegal immigrants. The effect is to illegally allow their en masse parole into the United States.
- By wasting taxpayer dollars to tear open Texas’s border security infrastructure, President Biden has enticed illegal immigrants away from the 28 legal entry points along this State’s southern border— bridges where nobody drowns—and into the dangerous waters of the Rio Grande.
- Under President Biden’s lawless border policies, more than 6 million illegal immigrants have crossed our southern border in just 3 years. That is more than the population of 33 different States in this country.
- This illegal refusal to protect the States has inflicted unprecedented harm on the People all across the United States.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. That is why the Framers included both Article IV, § 4, which promises that the federal government “shall protect each [State] against invasion,” and Article I, § 10, Clause 3, which acknowledges “the States’ sovereign interest in protecting their borders.” Arizona v. United States, 567 U.S. 387, 419 (2012) (Scalia, J., dissenting).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.

Jesus Fucking Christ, just start shooting the invaders. Time for Texas to call up the militia. Better to have a civil war and have democrats crying about MAGA or whatever than to have the democrats in control of everything by way of illegals aliens being allowed to vote.
Thank you for calling them illegal aliens instead of undocumented immigrants. Call like we see it. Their criminals when they enter the US illegal. Send them back to Mexico or where ever or incarcerate them.
I’m a Texan and stand with Abbott. Biden, his family and his administration are criminals. Their blatant disrespect for the US Constitution, disregard of the laws that for fifty years he was a part of creating, pay for access to the People’s Whitehouse and the people’s VP, are enough reasons to impeach FJB.
If only we had conservatives in elected government leadership that had spines and resolve. Fat chance until Sellout McConnell is booted out by the KY constituents.

Helena,
Re : https://helenaglass.net/2024/01/23/fdr-gave-us-communist-zionism/
Notice how the Commie-infiltrated Ad Council
flipped a switch, mid-Covid-Hoax hysteria, to
advance MINORITY dominated commercials—
while WHITEY-Man, whenever seen, is always
coupled with any-type MINORITY female.
Can anyone say, “G E N O C I D E” ?
It’s all orchestrated by Deep State social
engineers—MARXIAN-minded agents,
embedded throughout federal agencies,
which COMMIE-minded folks hate our
Founders’/Framers’ idea of Self-Govern-
ment ( see P.S. ) :

That Marxian Ad Council
Preps Whitey for his
GENOCIDE / CULTURICIDE,
via an invasion by anti-White
people—from everywhere.

“ In a January 31, 1864 letter to Major R.M. Sawyer,
Sherman explained the reason why he hated the
South in general, and South Carolina in particular,
so much. The war, he said ‘was the result of a
false political doctrine that any and every people
have a right to self-government.’ In the same letter
Sherman referred to states’ rights, freedom of
conscience, and freedom of the press as ‘trash’
that had ‘deluded the Southern people into war.’ “
And, yet, brain-dead conservatives still praise Evil
Tyrant Abe Lincoln’s CONTRIVED war against
Self-Determination :
