Democrats Want Biden To Take "Federal Control" Of The Texas National Guard
Authored by Steve Watson via Modernity.news,
Democrats have called on Joe Biden to seize control of the Texas National Guard unless it stops trying to secure the border with razor wire barriers.
The Guard is continuing to make and install the barriers in defiance of a Supreme Court order that now allows for the feds to take them down.
Texas Governor Gregg Abbot issued a statement vowing that authorities under his jurisdiction will not back down.
“The failure of the Biden administration to fulfill the duties imposed by Article IV section 4 has triggered Article 1, section 10, Clause 3, which reserves to this State the right of self-defense,” Abbott proclaimed, adding “For these reasons, I have already declared an invasion under Article I, section 10, Clause 3 to invoke Texas’s constitutional authority to defend and protect itself.”
This is the right position. You have my full support to do what is necessary to protect Texas. #SecureTexas #HoldTheLine https://t.co/Ud40XMO8qQ

All of this triggered Democratic Congressman Joaquin Castro to call for Biden to seize the Texas Guard and federalise it.
Governor Greg Abbott is using the Texas National Guard to obstruct and create chaos at the border.

If Abbott is defying yesterday's Supreme Court ruling, @POTUS needs to establish sole federal control of the Texas National Guard now. https://t.co/f1SKuCwEWG
Democratic Rep. Greg Casar followed up, stating that he agrees with Castro, that Biden should take control of the Texas Guard:
I agree with @JoaquinCastrotx : if Abbott is defying yesterday's Supreme Court ruling, @POTUS needs to establish sole federal control of the Texas National Guard. (3/6)

Are you urging war against a state?

SCOTUS merely lifted the prohibition on the cutting of razor wire by the border patrol. It did NOT bar Texas from installing additional razor wire. You're seriously calling on the Biden administration to declare Texas in a state of rebellion to invoke the insurrection act?

Oooooh, you’re really pushing for civil war aren’t you??

Meanwhile, Biden’s Department of Homeland Security has demanded access to the border for federal agents:
