Texas Governor Abbott tells Biden - if you don't enforce border laws, I will: Republican invokes invasion clause to send GUNBOATS to the border, build a wall, work with foreign countries on security and designate cartels as terrorists
Texas Governor Greg Abbott sent a letter to President Joe Biden on Wednesday
'Texans are paying the price for your failure' at the border,' he wrote
He told Biden he was invoking a Constitutional clause supposedly allowing states to act with sovereign enforcement powers in the event of an 'invasion'
Abbott released a list of action points he would take on Twitter the day before, and in a formal letter to county judges along the Texas-Mexico border
They include sending deadly gunboats to the border and entering security 'compacts' with other states that feel the same way
It's not clear how many of Abbott's proposals he can legally implement

I’m glad he’s trying to do something but gunboats? Come on, we all know BP isn’t going to shoot anyone, especially illegals crossing the border. BP is the welcome party. Abbott needs to get with DeSantis and borrow about a million alligators to fill our border rivers.

Those aren't BP boats, they are boats owned, maintained, and manned by the Texas DPS. It isnt the first time they've been on the Grande.

Every one of those should have a suppressor. There's no excuse, since they're on pintles. Imagine if they actually, ever decided to engage something. Fuck that noise.

Can't they just go fishing with explosives?  No one gets shot and the illegals are forced back to the Mexico side.

Gunboats are for cartels,  drug runners, child molesters.

Is there any precedent for Interstate support?  Sort of similar to the Hurricane assistance we give to each other here throughout the Southeast US.  It is an emergency IMHO.

With the recent debacle in Arizona I guess the illegals will just head there if Texas actually follows up on this.    With New Mexico being as liberal as it is, and has been for years, do they do anything along their section of border?  You never hear them mentioned at all.

Still don’t think they can be deported unfortunately.

But let’s build a nice bus station and airport. Any sanctuary city they want. Even provide a lunch instead of those inflight snacks.
