In response to the Biden Administration's failure to protect Texas from being invaded by foreigners, Gov. Greg Abbott (R) cited Articles I and IV of the US Constitution as justification for deploying the state's own defensive tactic of erecting razor wire and deploying volunteers to deter these invaders. In turn, the Administration cited Article VI's national supremacy clause to support it's demand that Texas stand aside and allow federal agents to control its border with Mexico.
Abbott insisted that "the law is on our side. On top of the constitutional obligation to protect every state from invasion there are also federal statutes barring illegal entry into this country by foreigners. Yet, the Biden Administration refuses to enforce these laws. The hordes of illegal migrants that he has allowed to flood into our country present clear and present dangers to public safety. In the past 12 years illegal migrants have been charged with 509,000 criminal offenses including 940 homicides, 64,127 assaults, 9,246 burglaries, 1,128 kidnappings, 25,441 thefts, 2,912 robberies, 6,422 sexual assaults, 7,410 other sexual offenses, and 6,193 illegal weapon charges."
Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas blamed the Texas crime wave on "the inadequate housing and welfare provided by the state. These mostly illiterate and impoverished newcomers had to turn to crime just to survive. However, I'm not here to quibble over statistics. I'm here to point out that the real issue is who has ultimate power over our national borders. Texas is only one state. The federal government has authority over all 50 states. And as President Biden has pointed out on several occasions, the federal government has more troops, air power, and nukes than any state. Texas must yield or face total annihilation."
Texas is not an "outlier" on the issue of the invasion occurring along our southern border. A majority of voters characterize the massive flood of migrants as an invasion. The Republican Governors Association has issued a statement in favor of Texas' right to defend itself from this invasion. Governors of 17 states have each individually voiced their support for Texas in this dispute.
In related news, former President Trump's call for "all willing states to deploy their National Guard troops to Texas to help prevent entry of illegal immigrants" prompted Special Prosecutor Jack Smith to declare "this is the smoking gun that will finish Trump. Sending armed troops against federal officers and soldiers is what Jefferson Davis did in 1861 and is what inspired the adoption of the Fourteenth Amendment barring him and his fellow insurrectionists from ever holding public office again. We now have grounds for Judge Chutkan to direct the jury to convict Trump in his trial for instigating the January 6, 2021 insurrection at the Capitol."

That last paragraph I am afraid will make you a prophet.
But follow through with the LNG delay...
Embrace the healing power of "and."
Hence the usurping regime has totally overstepped (again), threatening a state because it put it's self-defense over a corrupt regime's traitorous act of flooding the nation with illegal aliens they intend to eventually make voters for their political party. And alter the census for population majorities to gain more House seats until then.
Watch for making the illegals allowed into the military to bolster the enlistment problem - which the Democrats caused by putting "political correctness" over war-fighting capability, driving true patriots and intelligent young people to other career paths.
Illegals who'd have no qualms about firing on US should an evil regime demand it.
