Unless.


This is coolbert:

"Follow, lead, get out of the way!

State response to a perceived dire situation where no action is being taken by the federal government USA.

Never in my life time has such a thing occurred. The federal government USA normally reserves unto itself border security USA. Until this exact moment. Nor can I even think of a precedent. A vacuum is being filled?

"Now Texas Governor Abbott sends TANKS to the border after threatening to send gunboats - as Republican invokes invasion clause to deal with migrants flooding over border"

From  DAILYMAIL.COM the article by JOSEPH MICHALITSIANOS 19 November 2022.

* "Texas Governor Greg Abbott is deploying National Guard troops in M113 armored personnel carrier [not tanks] to various positions along the border"

* "The news comes days after Abbott sent a letter to President Biden threatening to deploy gunboats and invoking a constitutional clause"

* "Abbott invoked Article I Section 10 of the Constitution which forbids states from military action 'unless actually invaded, or in such imminent Danger'"

Are these Texas National Guardsmen or Texas State Guard? Texas does have a state guard that is strictly under the control of Governor Abbot. At his beck and call and not under control of the President USA.

Seems that the actions of Governor Abbot are totally legal! I can also predict this might create a minor political storm [or even a major one]. Even a constitutional crisis.

This should not be seen a simply bluster on the part of Governor Abbot.

coolbert.
