Important Takeaways:
- The formal, official groundwork is now laid for actual Civil War inside the United States. The Governor of Texas has declared, in writing, that the federal government has “broken the compact” with the states. He announced he has invoked the “Invasion” clause of the Constitution and says Texas has a right to self-defense which it will enforce with the Texas National Guard.
- Here are a few points from Governor Gregg Abbott’s Declaration:
- “The Federal Government has broken the compact between the United States and the States. 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. President Biden has refused to enforce those laws and has even violated them. The result is that he has smashed records for illegal immigration.”
- “President Biden has violated his oath to faithfully execute immigration laws enacted by Congress. Instead of prosecuting immigrants for the federal crime of illegal entry, President Biden has sent his lawyers into federal courts to sue Texas for taking action to secure the border.”
- “President Biden has instructed his agencies to ignore federal statutes that mandate the detention of Illegal immigrants. The effect is to illegally allow their en masse parole into the United States.”
- By wasting taxpayer dollars to tear open Texas’s border security infrastructure, President Biden has enticed illegal immigrants away from the 28 legal entry points along this State’s southern border-bridges where nobody drowns-and into the dangerous waters of the Rio Grande.”
- The failure of the Biden Administration to fulfill the duties imposed by Article IV, 4 has triggered Article I, section 10, Clause 3, which reserves to this State the right of self-defense. For this reason, I have already declared an invasion under Article I, section 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. The Texas National Guard, the Texas Department of Public Safety, and other Texas personnel are acting on that authority, as well as state law, to secure the Texas border.
- “The Federal Government has broken the compact between the United States and the States. 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. President Biden has refused to enforce those laws and has even violated them. The result is that he has smashed records for illegal immigration.”
