The Lone Star State is in the midst of a fierce battle with the federal government over the escalating migrant invasion at the southern border. This is not just another political skirmish; it’s a clash with monumental implications. Governor Greg Abbott and President Joe Biden are at the forefront of a dispute that transcends sovereignty, delving deep into the constitutional debate over states’ rights and the ever-pressing question of judicial supremacy.
As tensions escalate, a convoy of trucks, cars, and recreational vehicles is en route to the border for a series of rallies spanning from California to Eagle Pass, Texas. Organized by Take Our Border Back, these peaceful protests aim to send a resounding message to lawmakers that Americans are fed up with the illegal alien invasion. Noel Roberts of the organization emphasizes the importance of peaceful and lawful demonstrations, working in coordination with local law enforcement to voice concerns within the bounds of the First Amendment.
A pivotal moment in this showdown was the recent Supreme Court decision instructing Texas not to protect its border with Mexico. Many view this decision as a historic and potentially perilous move, challenging the role of states in the federal system. The ruling is seen by some as a betrayal by a president and, strikingly, by two Republican-appointed justices.
Governor Greg Abbott, responding to the Supreme Court’s decision, published a defiant statement accusing the Biden administration of neglecting its constitutional duty to defend Texas from invasion. This sets the stage for what some predict as a constitutional showdown, with Abbott asserting the state’s right to self-defense in the face of significant illegal crossings over the past two years.
Former acting Customs and Border Patrol Commissioner Mark Morgan voices support for Governor Abbott, applauding the expected “constitutional showdown.” Morgan sees Abbott’s actions as constitutionally authorized, citing Article One, Section 10 of the Constitution, known as the ‘self-help remedy,’ which empowers states to step up and protect themselves if the federal government fails in its constitutional responsibilities.
As the Texas border becomes a battleground, accusations fly, and constitutional principles are invoked, the nation watches closely. The clash between state and federal powers unfolds against the backdrop of a complex crisis, with potentially existential threats looming.

Governor Greg Abbott is using the Texas National Guard to obstruct and create chaos at the border.
If Abbott is defying yesterday's Supreme Court ruling, @POTUS needs to establish sole federal control of the Texas National Guard now. t.co/f1SKuCwEWG

I agree with @JoaquinCastrotx : if Abbott is defying yesterday's Supreme Court ruling, @POTUS needs to establish sole federal control of the Texas National Guard. (3/6)
