These are possible candidates that would join Texas in secession. No democrats have joined this so far.

It will be interesting to see how far this goes, if 2000-3000 troops or more from each state descend on Texas and shut down the border, how will the Federal Government respond, thru the court system to get injunctions or raise the stakes and send active-duty military to quell the what the Democrats will call an insurrection by the states, etc....the possibilities are endless.

I hate to say this, but I think, if they’re not willing to shoot, it’s not going to matter.

Pray to Our LORD GOD that HE will protect all who love The Republic of Texas and our Nation as a whole, to put decisive END to the invasion occurring on the Southern Border of Texas. AMEN.

If the Republican Governors don’t back down and follow thru with sending Troops to the border and actually shut down the border temporarily.

The Federal Government under Biden will view this as the perfect opportunity to crush the so called “extreme MAGA” Republicans, how they will do that is the question.

At first I think they will use the court system, if that doesn’t work then I have no doubt force will be used.

Like I said how this goes down will be very interesting or the Republican Governors could back down and the entire thing fizzle out.

It’s the only way to stop an invasion of your country. You ask Zelenskyyy. He’ll tell you.

I should mention that these governors responded within 24 hours of the governors call for assistance. I see a possible new “Confederation Of States” here.

They won’t shoot anything more than photographs. Demoncrats have rolled out the red carpet for every enemy we have.

I’ve stumbled upon several black conservative youtube channels lately and they deserve standing ovations but don’t know that anyone can win against the fixed voting machines.

They can call it an “insurrection” all they like. But talk about cognitive dissonance—Biden and company calling in troops against states sending their own to stop an invasion facilitated by that same Federal government.

You don’t send the fuzz to repel an invasion.

You send the military.

They will have a problem with this, as the US armed forces is mostly southerners from conservative states. And, Texas alone has a large membership of national guard, state guard, and militias. Keep in mind that the border enforcement currently being done by the Texas DPS. Federal forces down here are few and far between.

Proof positive that Democrats nor the GOP give a rat’s a$$ what the American people want. Recent polls show that over 70% of Americans want the border shut, but the GOP nor the Democrats will stem the tide.

Throw ‘em all out in the next election. It’s long past time to send these twits a message.

At least 24 states don’t have their heads up their back doors.

Any idea what the ROE is for these troops? What exactly is their function?

They called 1/6 an insurrection, what do you think they will call a few thousand national guard troops on the border blocking access to the country, acting against the will of the Federal Government ??

Maybe insurrection is not a strong enough word, rebellion, treason, armed revolt, who knows how far Biden and his administration will go.

Like I said, the situation could all fizzle out but it could also get very interesting in a dangerous way.
