Extremists Call for ‘Civil War’ and ‘Secession’ Over Texas Border Ruling

They do this all the time. Maybe Biden should call their bluff, execute his powers as Commander in Chief, and order the National Guard in Texas to turn on State Police.

"I am not a conservative", "swaths of illegal immigrants"
Are you sure you know what political leanings are? That is a false conservative talking point you are repeating. It's not illegal to cross a border.
These "I'm not a conservative" are a special bunch. Same as the classic "I'm not a racist, but...".
I am positive I know my political leanings. It is true, there are a vast amount of immigrants crossing illegally across our border. If you cross illegally, it is by definition illegal. Which I do understand some laws are unjust but you shouldn't blame the state when the feds won't do anything to help them enforce what they say is illegal.
It's a conservative position to limit immigration. Do you feel you support more progressive policies than conservative overall? What verifiable harm has come from increased immigration? People deserve a safe place to live, whether they were born in Mexico or Texas, we have more than enough resources in the US to help people that immigrate here. I don't see how your metaphor is accurate. The US isn't a house or private property.
I don't think you understand, there is no illegal way to cross the border. If someone tells you that there is people crossing the border illegally, they are doing a lie or have bought into false conservative talking points, you shouldn't believe that. Now, there are undocumented immigrants, and that is something we could talk about. But illegal immigrants is not a thing, it's like wizards in the Harry Potter universe. Fun to think about, but not real.
