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.” [Full statement pdf HERE]
Overheard: “We used to get help rescuing trafficked children from Homeland Security and even the CIA. The day Biden was inaugurated, it all stopped.”
Personally, Joe Biden is a Child Molester. Professionally, he’s a Child Trafficker.
His own family calls him Pedo Pete. Hell, he calls himself that.
He traffics thousands of children by day–and molests them individually by night.
Yes, it’s uncomfortable. Obama/Biden count on your squeamishness and decency to paralyze you. This is not about winning some political argument. It is far, far beyond that.
What if you were a sex slave trapped in clutches of these monsters–and nobody would even mention the name of your Rapist Slave-Owners?
The Omerta Press in Sewer City all know about it but have taken a Vow of Silence to the Slave/Rape Regime of Barack Obama and Joe Biden.
But I won’t. And neither will our Father.
Isaiah 49:
22-23 The Master, God, says:
“Look! I signal to the nations,
I raise my flag to summon the people.
Here they’ll come: women carrying your little boys in their arms,
men carrying your little girls on their shoulders.
Kings will be your babysitters,
princesses will be your nursemaids.
They’ll offer to do all your drudge work—
scrub your floors, do your laundry.
You’ll know then that I am God.
No one who hopes in me ever regrets it.”
24-26 Can plunder be retrieved from a giant,
prisoners of war gotten back from a tyrant?
But God says, “Even if a giant grips the plunder
and a tyrant holds my people prisoner,
I’m the one who’s on your side,
defending your cause, rescuing your children.
And your enemies, crazed and desperate, will turn on themselves
killing each other in a frenzy of self-destruction.
Then everyone will know that I, God,
have saved you—I, the Mighty One of Jacob.”
By the Authority of the Believer, Lord, we call down these wicked strongholds of Human Smuggling and Child Trafficking. We speak doom, defeat, disgrace and disappearance of Child Trafficking in Washington D.C. and around the world, we speak confusion into all their evil operations and cause them to turn on each other as whistleblowers come forth to expose the darkness. We dispatch our Warring Angels accomplish Your Purpose in the Earth, Lord. We speak freedom and liberation for these Children and the Spirit of Liberty for all Your Precious Children, Father God, as Your Justice comes forth in Righteousness, and Your Glory fills the Earth. In the Mighty Name of Jesus Christ we decree it, receive it and call it done. Amen and Amen!
AMEN.
Their sickness is beyond comprehension.
One of the bast post I have seen here!
I pray God come soon and ends the evil ones.
Amen
I’ve posted this before but seems appropriate now: When President Trump campaigned the first time, he had a very well-organized web site where his stance on issues was clearly defined.
I recall that at the TOP of his list of issues was human trafficking, and his promise to stop that.
Within the first six months of his presidency, hundreds of child traffickers were arrested in California alone, don’t recall how many in other states. I also recall that the number of sealed Federal indictments rose massively right after he was elected, and some of those were used for the CA traffickers.
I mention this as talking points for treepers’ liberal family members. (All of mine are…) It just stops them in their orange-man-bad tracks.
The difference of course, is that children were not then being trafficked out of the Oval Office with all the levers of government.
Real President just pledged this again in Iowa, praise God!
And President Trump was using the US Marshals to bust up those child trafficking rings. Then the FBI exerted their authority/jurisdiction and it slowed to a trickle then stopped.
Thank you for adding the role of the US Marshalls – significant point!
“On April 6, 2018, the U.S. Department of Justice announced the seizure and takedown of Backpage, part of a 93-count indictment of seven former owners and executives, charging them with facilitating prostitution under the U.S. Travel Act, as well as money laundering and conspiracy.[5]
In July 2018, a superseding indictment increased the number of counts to 100.[6] …..
On September 14, 2021, federal Judge Susan Brnovich declared a mistrial in the case, saying the prosecution and their witnesses made excessive references to child sex trafficking in a case where the defendants are not charged with that crime. ”
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backpage
Pres Trump had a huge impact on reducing sex trafficking, to include trafficking of minors, which was not looked upon favorably by the ruling elite…. for some reason… hmm I wonder
Your last point about liberal members not even know what Trump did is why I consider the lying Media the main enemy. Without their help and lies every American would know what President Trump accomplished, which would leave only the truly debased, dumb and staunch leftist to support Democrats.
Mega Dittos.
Rush
AMEN Gipper AMEN
Absolutely do not want to buy into this, but it’s getting nearly impossible to deny.
Amen
AMEN
Let’s go!
I’ve been a huge critic of Abbott. But kudos to him for doing what’s right here. I have a feeling our AG, Ken Paxton is working things behind the curtain.
If Abbott has declared that Texas in being invaded, he should step up his State’s defense by issuing no limit hunting tags for anything crossing the Texas border illegally.
I second the motion. It won’t take many to send the appropriate message.
<I’ve been a huge critic of Abbott. But kudos to him for doing what’s right here.>
Plus…he ignored the razor wire decision!
Is it wrong to say Abbott’s on a roll?
He been too slow to respond.. Now our states ability to support its self is at risk.. WE (US taxpayer) now have illegal aliens processing illegal aliens and running the immigration courts for the elected class cause we don’t have the citizens with the language requirements to do the jobs.. Joebama did this to us.. I’m beyond angry Don’t get me started on the health care and educational damages ..
Nope. IMO, once a person sees the light and acts on it, they’re changed. Being courageous makes you more courageous.
I hope everyone read the letter. It couldn’t have been more exact in laying bare the deception and treason of Biden and his administration.
Loved the fact CTH provided a PDF download to you could save it to your computer and print off copies. You can also just print it from the online PDF.
I hope many Texans contact him to express their support.
As someone posted earlier, “patriots from all 50 states” should be contacting him. Respectfully, the invasion is a national issue and requires national support.
Almost two years ago, Gregg Abbott was given a letter from several Border Officials requesting an invasion declaration! Finally, maybe he will act… We will see…
This! Grew some balls
I agree, Abbott didn’t do this on his own. Paxton is definitely involved. I have also been critic of our governor as too weak. So maybe finally he’s had enough. I know most of Texas has had enough
I think True President’s path has focused the governor’s mind.
And I understand Texans are boiling mad and filled with resolve.
You understand correctly.. I’m angry as …
Better late than never.
I suspect you are spot on Paxton May very well be on his case to do something..
can’t help thinking why now? after years of this? also the fake drama between il gov & tx gov. tx gov “sending guests” to illinois & il gov crying about compassion all the while guests have been stuffed into the interior of our country. now after uniparty cabal has delightfully exceeded their guest quota tx gov is going TO FLEX HIS MUSCLES by golly we’ll have border patrol versus national guard. just the spark for a civil war. please dear God i hope i’m wrong.
The Border Patrol Union has openly stated that they support TX National Guard, so I don’t think the conflict will start there.
to be clear, they have stated their “support” like TRAITOR JOHNSON offers his “advocacy” – and then the BP goes right back to breaking their oaths.
they can impress me by refusing all orders from the rich men back east and then join the NG in adding layers of concertina wire and driving busses back to Mexico.
I have a life-long friend in CBP, and he has ZERO faith in current CBP leadership, but universal belief in the guys he works with daily. If push came to shove, the rank-and-file would be on the right side.
Why now?
Because Abbott the Idiot is up for re-election this year!
No. 2026
Close enough! Why didn’t he do this 3 years ago?
That’s what I’m wondering. Can you imagine the havoc that 8 million illegals ineligible to vote could have on election? The damage is done. How on earth can we have secure elections when we have no way of verifying if the votes counted are legit?
To me, it’s a day late and a dollar short.
Or, don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good.
Why must we always accept the democrats being two steps ahead of us and we call success when we stop them after the damage is done and they’ve moved onto a new way of screwing the American people that we’re not even aware of yet? I understand we need to take our successes where we can, but I’m just so weary of always being so far behind. It’s almost like the situation with Mitch McConnell……even when he loses, he wins.
I’m just tired of Lucy always taking the football away when Charlie Brown is ready to kick.
I hope that makes sense.
Things don’t change because they should. Things change because they must.
…
SCOTUS could have forestalled this, but instead pushed corruption harder.
…
SCOTUS has no standing in Texas. Stolen elections have consequences.
SCOTUS is an ILLEGITIMATE court. DO NOT COMPLY
National Guard …
Oh boy! Another “strongly worded letter”!!!
Show me action, and I might be impressed! Until then, I remain firmly in the camp that Abbott is STILL an idiot!
I’ve seen them continue to put razor wire up on the TX border. That looks like action to me
I saw a website today called Take OurBorderBack.com that is organizing a peaceful assembly on Feb 3,2024. We all need to rally together and support each other Look into it Several convoys are being organized
God Bless Texas. Hope he doesn’t fold.
Next is the politically perilous step of nationalizing Texas’s National Guard.
Precedent is when Kennedy did it to Mississippi to integrate Ole Miss 1963–a thing a very large part of America approved of.
Keeping our Border open for the Invasion most want stopped is a different animal; the constitutional position is much much stronger; and Texas ain’t Mississippi, no offense to Mississippi.
if the fed fascists attempt to “nationalize” the TNG, the heads of that org must refuse to order or stand down and resign immediately, and the ground level troops must refuse to carry out their orders.
and a prominent voice must explicitly call for this to happen.
Strongly suspect Texas National Guard members won’t have a bit of a problem going against the feds. In fact, those Texas people are likely welcoming a good fight.
A correct course of action.
Thank you ….
Better late than never. However…
The video of “You will know my name soon” man indicates the Islamic Army is here, and in place. Hence the arrival of the ostensible head of that “invisible” army so that he can direct their actions and claim their successes in the name of Allah.
Ammo up people.
Texas could also get the “consent of Congress” to defend itself according to Section 10. Since Dems control the Senate, they would vote against giving consent, thereby effectively giving consent to Mexico to continue their invasion. That would be treason on the part of the Senate for which they could be impeached and tried and imprisoned once Maga controls congress.
DC Draino made an interesting point the other day, I don’t know if its valid: Perhaps the Supreme decision could be beneficial in the future to Trump if/when he decides to end progtard sanctuary city status. If Fed policy overrules state/city policies then the dems have nothing to shield them.
Yeah, I agree there’s a valid point to be made along those lines. For instance, let’s say the dem governors of California, Arizona and New Mexico play the lawfare game against the Trump administration’s reinstated (and hopefully vastly upgrade) border policies. The SCOTUS ruling, on its face, would give Trump’s enforcers all they need to pimp-slap the governors while getting the border job done.
Good. It’s about time someone challenged the illegally installed FJB admininstration which is full of DemoRat commies who hate America and want to destroy the country.
Why in God’s name have the cartels not been designated as terrorist organizations? Everyone knows they’re making billions off open borders. This is the only war we should be fighting.
Geopolitical considerations, and economic as well.
Because the Deep State Globalists are making money from the cartels.
Because MUCH of Our (Shadow/Deep State) .gov (As also many politicians), are involved in the GRIFT.. Thats how it’s gets funded..
The one war Trump should have started and finished.
“Texas Governor Greg Abbott Releases Statement: “I have declared an invasion…..”
Washington DC: Oh no, that’s not an invasion. They’re here by invitation.
Make them admit it. That would be an awesome campaign ad. Show all the dead Americans and have Piglosi admitting she wanted them here for votes.
Welfare system
Open borders

Milton Friedman was credited with that one.
Cloward and Piven responded “why not both?”.
Plain language like that would be tantamount to declaring war on the States.
Equivocation and misdirection are more their methods in the swamp. Their response will be verbose and full of hot air.
And we’re paying for it!
https://nypost.com/2024/01/22/opinion/dont-believe-the-lies-the-un-is-paying-illegals-using-us-taxpayer-cash/
I hope that in addition to the razor wire, Abbott goes after the cartel owned zones south of San Antonio.
Go Texas!!!
do the cartels own any Supreme Court Justices?
There is enormous wealth and power from the drug invasion, ever since the inexplicable inability to protect our borders from massie drug importation during the vietnam war.
Are some SC justices surprisingly affordable?
“Hanging chads” have ‘standing’ when a dem challenges an election, but Texas and many other States have ‘no standing’ to challenge vote fraud in corrupt states which imposes an improperly-elected president on them? Despite Constitutional Original Jurisdiction in the Supreme Court for inter-state disputes? Vote fraud to change a presidential election does not create any harm to the properly-voting states and their citizens?
And here I thought Abbott would cave. What makes this even more remarkable is that it comes after the Barrett/Roberts decision. Spit in their eyes 👍
We are about to take things into our own hands down here. Abbott knows that…
I believe you are correct.. I’m beyond angry.. I want my home back.. I’m tired of supporting other people’s emotional follies, anchor babies and criminal intent
BINGO
10th Amendment…about time Abbot used it
They’re about 6 million too late. Better late than never.
Hopefully when President Trump is re-elected to his third term, he will be a man of his word and initiate the biggest mass deportation of illegal aliens in the history of the US to expel those 6 million.
There are many more than six million illegals here – many.
Put a bounty on them.
And people thought Abbott was playing games. He’s not.
Texas may need help in this war, prepare to fight. If push comes to shove as they say!
The true American is with you Texas. We will see if Obamabiden is willing to fight, I’m talking about physically fight they may have to. No holds bared. And remember they started it.
I wonder what current members of the US Military think about members of the Texas National Guard doing their job.
Round ’em up. Ship ’em out. Rawhide!
Rawhide – Bing video
Guess Tucker can claim results, he has asked “where the men of Texas” were during this late border invasion; has Abbott acted as a result?
“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.”
It is not only a constitutional right, it is a common law right, a natural born right and a God given right.
James Madison described it more succinctly as “the law of self-preservation.” Posted yesterday:
“In the event of a failure of all these Constitutional resorts against usurpations and abuses of power and of an accumulation thereof rendering passive obedience & nonresistance a greater evil than resistance and revolution, there can remain but one resort, the last of all, the appeal from the cancelled obligation of the Constitutional compact to original rights and the law of self-preservation.”
“This is the Ultima ratio, under all Governments, whether consolidated, confederated, or partaking of both those characters. Nor can it be doubted that in such an extremity a single State would have a right, tho’ it would be a natural not a constitutional Right to make the appeal. The same may be said indeed of particular portions of any political community whatever so oppressed as to be driven to a choice between the alternative evils.”
James Madison to Edward Everett, August 28, 1830.
Civil society precedes the state, both morally and historically. Society creates order and grants the state legitimacy. If a ruler seeks absolute power, if he acts both as judge and participant in disputes, he puts himself in a state of war with his subjects and we have the right and the duty to kill such rulers and their servants.
(John Locke)
Keep reading that state constitution because I think you might also be able to charge Biden with treason.
Do not put overmuch faith in Abbott
“In a land of the blind, the one eyed man is king.”
“We used to get help rescuing trafficked children from Homeland Security and even the CIA. The day Biden was inaugurated, it all stopped.”
“I tell you, whenever you refused to help one of these least important ones, you refused to help me.” (Matthew 25:45 TEV)
Right on time LV.
Rest in the Vine: What Child Molester Is This? A: Joe Biden–by Which I Mean, of Course, Barack Obama Also
About fkn time!
How much MONEY is the pervert in chief getting from the cartels for helping them kill our citizens? Does he get a cut of the drug money and the sex slaves?

JUST IN: Massive Trucker Convoy Protests Planned For Major Border Entry Points On Feb 3
Never thought Abbott would be the guy to kick “it” off, but I gotta say….this is based! Stand firm, Governor.
I hope my Okie governor follows suit and joins in legally with a similar order and with manpower and resources as needed by Texas. We’ve got your back Texas when you do the right thing such as this.
Ft Sumter??
Texas is reacting to a Pearl Harbor.
Could someone tell John Roberts that it won’t matter if the Dems pack the Court if states declare their sovereignty to ignore it. Chickens coming home to roost.
John Roberts employs Mary McCord’s husband, Leonard Snook, as legal counsel in his office. I think this tells us a lot about John Roberts.
Abbott shows the way. Simply ignore the Federal Clowns, especially the SCROTUS.
“The Supreme Court made its decision, now let them enforce it.” Andrew Jackson.
El mensaje de la foto es el CORRECTO. 💪👍🤜🤛🤝🔥💯
The FJB Memorandum.
Well done, Texas.
The cockroach Buraq administration normalized the anarchy at the borders.
BOOM. (just sayin’)
If you are what you vote for, I sure wouldn’t want to be a Biden voter.
Governor Abbott got
A twofer with that statement. He slapped both Biden and scotus. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Three years late
Finally, Abbot is growing a pair.
This is good news. My only question is, when do the deportations start?
Amen… not soon enough
I Will Never Vote for Abbott again… This man has talked BS for several years and has blown BILLIONS of Texans Tax Dollars claiming to control our border with Mexico… He is nothing more than a FRAUD! I will support a genuine candidate such as LTC ALLEN WEST for Texas’s next Governor.
Seems like the states need to send additional help. The feds will not. defend the border, so the states need to.
This is the key that unlocks not all but some critical issues with this nation. Our Federal Government did create the United States. The States created the Federal Government, we are not a Federation of Washington DC. We are a Federation of States that made a compact. The individual states joined into this contract. The Federal Government has violated that compact and it is incumbent upon the states to right these wrongs. I sincerely believe that some of the rulings from the Supreme Court are just begging the proper parties (i.e. the States) and step up to plate and challenge the Feds.
Correction, The Federal Government did NOT create the United ‘States’.
“Republicans” in Congress are currently holding up additional Ukraine “aid”, and are currently in “negotiations” with the White House. Said “negotiations” include “immigration reform”. So here’s my take… free of charge…
The 6-10 million were intended to Flood The Zone, that’s it… to complicate the immigration Dumpster Fire to such a great extent that The Globalists will have leverage to act on DACA plus the “11 million” who have been here for such-and-such number of years. Of course, we all know that the “11” is really 25-30 (if not more), but there will be a lot of hand waving and strongly-worded Fox News appearances… so here’s the take:
1.) DACA gets an instant pass. And… naturally… they’ll do the ol’ slipperoo and attach ALL DACA FAMILY MEMBERS (children, parents, aunts, uncles, cousins, etc. etc.)
2.) The Infamous 11 Million (i.e., The Illegal 30 Million) are given a 5-10 year citizenship plan… I’m thinking 8 years, is the number I’ve heard thrown around over the last few years. They’ll still say it’s 11 million, but Uniparty Representatives will finagle and massage the 30 million into the 8-year deal, with necessary language appropriately hidden in a 147,363-page Legislative Bill… of course. That’s what they’re really good at. Then Chip Roy and Tom Cotton will jump up and down about that or whatever.
3.) The 10 million fresh recruits are the smokescreen… Uniparty Representatives will agree to let their 3-plus-year “asylum’ claims run their course, and attach some lizardly promises of “enforcing immigration laws”. Lyndsey Graham’s and Little Marco’s jobs will be to make you feel good about the 10 million newcomers who must/should be/may be/might be/hopefully will be deported.
Well it took him long enough… guess too late is better than not at all
The SCOTUS is corrupted by bribery, blackmail and/or threats (i.e., threats against the numerous children of the younger justices, such as ACB). Gov. Abbott has the constitutional right and the duty to IGNORE yesterday’s SCOTUS decision against Texas. What will the SCOTUS do to enforce its ridiculous order?
