A clash between Texas and the Biden administration over who controls the Texas-Mexico border continues to escalate this week as federal officials once again demanded the state give Border Patrol agents access to a park that is a popular corridor for migrants to enter the United States illegally.
This comes in response to a recent Supreme Court decision, where the court allowed federal officials to dismantle a wire barrier along the border, prompting a legal battle initiated by Texas. Texas argued that this action, aimed at aiding migrants, infringes on state sovereignty and damages Texas security measures.
In response to this decision, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott released a letter arguing that Texas has a right to control the border and that it supersedes federal government control. Abbott’s accusation that the federal government has breached the Constitution by having “broken the compact between the United States and the States” is almost identical to South Carolina’s 1860 declaration of secession.
Furthermore, Abbott’s letter espouses the fringe theory of constitutional law known as “compact theory,” popularized by Confederate states during the Civil War era and supported by Confederate President Jefferson Davis.
Thankfully, Biden read up on what Lincoln did to avoid the civil war…
So he’s doing exactly the same and trying to appease them?!
Sure it didn’t work last time, or really ever, but it’s established procedure to try appeasement first.
Not to mention the closer we are to civil war in November, the more people will vote D just to avoid trump.
Sure, we might actually get a civil war, but if that’s the risk it takes to get a genocide supporter in the office, by God Zap Branigan, I mean, Joe Biden, is willing to put our lives on the line.
Yeah definitely blame Joe Biden and not the seditious fucking Republicans. Classic room temperature IQ take - “well of course the Republicans are gonna piss on our legs, that’s a given. The REAL crime is when you put RAIN BOOTS ON!”
It’s honestly concerning how much “moderates” sound and act like trumpets these days…
It’s like you were all waiting for any excuse to be a worse person. Then trump showed up and you got your wish.
We’re not going to have a Civil War. Who are Texas going to have to go up against drone bombers? A bunch of hillbillies with AR-15s?
Didnt work?
How are those Confederate statues doing these days?
Appeasement didn’t prevent the war…
What else could you possibly have thought I meant?
The only reason we would have a civil war would be if we opposed them leaving. Just let them leave. Cut them off. Let Texans be the illegal immigrants running north to avoid their oppressive government.
