Send the FBI to Texas. The Texas National Guard should have no problem dealing with those lawless thugs.

This needs to come to a head and it needs to happen very soon. And it needs to be serious and dramatic, heavy-duty confrontation. Congress and the courts are not going to stop this invasion.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mexican_standoff

The key element that makes such situations Mexican standoffs is the perceived equality of power exercised amongst the involved parties.[3][unreliable source?]

A notable example is in Sergio Leone’s 1966 Western The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, where the characters representing each played by Clint Eastwood, Lee Van Cleef and Eli Wallach, face each other in a showdown.[6][7]


How do these situations end in the movies?

Hint: Clint Eastwood.

The Plantation of Ulster...was the organised colonisation (plantation) of Ulster – a province of Ireland – by people from Great Britain during the reign of King James VI and I. Most of the settlers (or planters) came from southern Scotland and northern England; their culture differed from that of the native Irish. Small privately funded plantations by wealthy landowners began in 1606, while the official plantation began in 1609. Most of the colonised land had been confiscated from the native Gaelic chiefs, several of whom had fled Ireland for mainland Europe in 1607 following the Nine Years’ War against English rule.

Although some “loyal” natives were granted land, the native Irish reaction to the plantation was generally hostile, and native writers lamented what they saw as the decline of Gaelic society and the influx of foreigners.

The Plantation of Ulster was the biggest of the Plantations of Ireland. It led to the founding of many of Ulster’s towns and created a lasting Ulster Protestant community in the province with ties to Britain. It also resulted in many of the native Irish nobility losing their land and led to centuries of ethnic and sectarian animosity, which at times spilled into conflict, notably in the Irish Rebellion of 1641 and more recently, the Troubles.

Texas is just doing jobs the feds won’t. Kinda like the rat argument that illegals do the jobs Americans won’t.

The leaders of the rebellion received good terms from the new King of England, James I, in the hope of ensuring a final end of the draining war that had brought England close to bankruptcy. O’Neill, O’Donnell, and the other surviving Ulster chiefs were granted full pardons and the return of their estates. The stipulations were that they abandon their Irish titles, their private armies, and their control over their dependents, and that they swear loyalty only to the Crown of England. In 1604, Mountjoy declared an amnesty for rebels all over the country. The reason for this apparent mildness was that the English could not afford to continue the war any longer. Elizabethan England did not have a standing army, nor could it force its Parliament to pass enough taxation to pay for long wars. Moreover, it was already involved in a war in the Spanish Netherlands. As it was, the war in Ireland (which cost over £2 million) came very close to bankrupting the English exchequer by its close in 1603.

Irish sources claimed that as many as 60,000 people had died in the Ulster famine of 1602–3 alone. An Irish death toll of over 100,000 is possible. At least 30,000 English soldiers died in Ireland in the Nine Years’ War, mainly from disease. So the total death toll for the war was certainly at least 100,000 people, and probably more.

First off, Biden would have to do it without the US military - Posse Comitatus Act.

Abbott and Paxton had to know this is coming. I sure hope they have a plan to deal with it and not just a bunch of hot air.

They should have sued the feral government long ago for violating Article 4, Section 4 of the Constitution:

Section 4. The United States shall guarantee to every state in this union a republican form of government, and shall protect each of them against invasion;

One possible plan is to simply tie it up in court for decades. it’s a tactic the left has used to quite good effect - and by the time it actually comes to a final decision, well, it’s been the state of affairs for so long it’s considered normal, or they just get a slap on the wrist.

Yes. See Arizona’s attempts that got shut down under Obama.

How do the Irish feel about their current invasion of furriners?
