Governor Abbott Issues Statement On Texas’ Constitutional Right To Self-Defense
January 24, 2024 | Austin, Texas | Press Release
Governor Greg Abbott today issued a statement on Texas’ constitutional right to defend and protect itself as President Joe Biden continues to attack Texas and refuse to perform his duties to secure the border.
"The Executive Branch of the United States has a constitutional duty to enforce federal laws protecting States, including immigration laws on the books right now," reads the statement. "President Biden has instructed his agencies to ignore federal statutes that mandate the detention of illegal immigrants. The failure of the Biden Administration to fulfill the duties imposed by Article IV, § 4 has triggered Article I, § 10, Clause 3, which reserves to this State the right of self-defense. For these reasons, I have already declared an invasion under Article I, § 10, Clause 3 to invoke Texas’s constitutional authority to defend and protect itself. That authority is the supreme law of the land and supersedes any federal statutes to the contrary."
Also, the cartels are real shit.
Border towns are far more dangerous than 20 or 30 years ago.
Good friends of mine who grew up in El Paso, who have family on the Mexican side, avoid crossing over if they don't have to. Shit's gotten real.
The Mexican government is pretty much 3 cartels in a trench coat at this point.
