Joe Biden Just Got Humiliated in the Border Standoff With Texas
PJ Media ^ | 01/27/2024 | Matt Margolis

A constitutional crisis looms as states like Texas have taken it upon themselves to enforce our nation's immigration laws and protect our country from invasion.

Earlier this week, the Biden administration demanded Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton give Border Patrol access to a city park on the Rio Grande riverfront, but the Texas National Guard continued to defend the state of Texas and, indeed, the United States, despite those threats. Since then, Joe Biden has been under pressure from the left to federalize the Texas National Guard so they can’t block U.S. Customs and Border Patrol from removing razor wire from barriers on the southern border.

Well, that might be a moot point, as Border Patrol has taken a side on this issue, and they’re siding with Texas.

And they weren’t shy about it either.

"Rank-and file BP agents are not going to start arresting TX NG members for following their LAWFUL orders. That's fake news,” the Border Patrol union said in a statement posted to X/Twitter. "TX NG and rank-and-file BP agents work together and respect each other's jobs. Period. If TX NG members have LAWFUL orders, then they have to carry out those orders.TX NG members realize that rank-and-file BP agents have their orders as well. Lawful orders, no matter how unpopular or distasteful amongst rank-and-file agents, must be followed. Unlawful orders (as determined by competent legal counsel and not what some outhouse lawyer behind a keyboard says) will not be followed."

The statement continues, "Rank-and-file BP agents appreciate and respect what TX has been doing to defend their state in the midst of this catastrophe that the Biden Admin has unleashed on America. We want to be perfectly clear, there is no fight between rank-and-file BP agents and the TX NG, Gov. Abott, or TX DPS. "

A senior Border Patrol agent also revealed on Fox News that the agency has no plans to remove the razor wire put up by Texas.

BREAKING: A Senior CBP Official tells FOX:

"the relationship between Border Patrol, Texas DPS, & TMD remains strong... Bottom line: Border Patrol has no plans to remove infrastructure (c-wire) placed by Texas along the border. Our posture remains the same." @FoxNews— Griff Jenkins (@GriffJenkins) January 26, 2024

Make no mistake about it: this is a stunning development, as Joe Biden finds himself stripped of the leverage he once held in this confrontation.

As we all know, the Left ALWAYS overplays its hand. And this time they’re all-in with a demented geezer holding a pair of deuces.

Roberts is a compromised traitor. It has never been more obvious.

Meanwhile, the Right CONSISTENTLY capitulates and folds. Hopefully, they hang tough this time!

“the Biden administration demanded Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton give Border Patrol access to a city park on the Rio Grande riverfront, but the Texas National Guard continued to defend the State of Texas and, indeed, the United States, despite those threats.”

.

“”as Joe Biden finds himself stripped of the leverage he once held in this confrontation.””

.

And just like that, sides for the Battle of Eagle Pass were picked.

As I just said to another FReeper, all Joe can do now is splash the pot and incoherently mumble “Trump made me do it!”

If Biden removes the wire, the illegals flood in - bad optics. If he doesn’t remove the wire, his ‘base’ gets pissed he’s not acting. Schumer is sending him a ‘lifeline’ with the FAKE ‘Compromise’ - that’s all the RATs are going to talk about now, saying GOP wants open borders. sadly MSM will mimic the phrase

What may happen now that Biden's handlers have backed down is the flow of illegals will be stemmed and the number of border crossers will dramatically decline throughout 2024.

As the election nears, Biden and the Democrats will take credit (and receive credit) for stopping the invasion and successfully blame Trump and the Republicans for causing the problem to begin with.

"Roberts is a compromised traitor. It has never been more obvious.

Chief Justice John Roberts is facing scrutiny for potential conflict of interests because his wife, Jane, has earned “millions” in commissions for recruiting attorneys for jobs at law firms, which include firms that have cases before the Supreme Court. He is keeping a low profile on controversial cases like the Biden effort to cut the razor wire.

He should resign, or be impeached.

No doubt - a backdoor deal with the Cartels (via Mexico President) to lay low til 'After the Election' when he'll have "more flexability."

By the end of the day Monday this clown show administration will have ordered their lame stream news media to shift the narrative to something else. They will try to sweep all of this under the rug as if they never said a thing, never knew it happened and don't know it is happening now.

The senate bill is insane and should be DOA at the house. The house will counter with a suggestion to follow the law or something very restrictive, like closer to ZERO entries and if they are smart mass deportations. Either that or they will table it for no action at all.

This is shaping up in a way the clown show will wish it had never happened.

When the invaders land on the doorsteps of the Mayors and elitists of the “Sanctuary Cities” the Mayors and elitists become very uncomfortable.

Joe can demand in one hand, and cr@p in the other, and see which one fills up first.
