Abbott doubles down on border ‘invasion’ declaration after Supreme Court blow
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) on Wednesday accused the federal government of breaking the compact with the states following a Supreme Court ruling on Monday that cleared the way for the Border Patrol to remove razor wire installed by Texas along the U.S.-Mexico border.
In a statement, Abbott said, “President Biden has refused to enforce [immigration] laws and has even violated them.”
It’s the latest escalation in a legal and political standoff between Texas and the federal government, though Abbott stopped short of announcing any specific measures.
He has been pushing constitutional boundaries on state versus federal jurisdiction of border and immigration enforcement for the better part of two years; his legal team, including state Attorney General Ken Paxton, first publicly toyed with the idea of formally declaring a border “invasion” in April 2022.
But he is guilty of aiding and assisting an invasion by transporting “invaders” to cities and states throughout the nation.
A lot to unpack here.
The term is "Human Trafficking". It is yet another crime Republicans are allowed to do as long as they whine about it nonstop while doing said crime.
He[Abbott]'s a fascist traitor. Hypocrisy is a marker of success.
Don't forget a monster. Abbot and Paxton are unapologetic monsters.
