    “…Appearing on "America Right Now," Paxton questioned the alignment of current Biden border policies with the intentions of the Founding Fathers. Paxton emphasized the historical commitment to defense, stating, "I just can't imagine Texas would have joined the union if the deal was, hey, we're not going to defend you. By the way, you can't defend yourself."

    Regarding the impeachment of Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas, Paxton asserted, "It's pretty simple. He has a constitutional duty to protect the country; he's homeland security." He accused the administration of aiding cartels and terrorists, presenting harm to Americans as grounds for impeachment.

    In response to a recent Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) report on the arrest of 171 illegal immigrants with pending charges or convictions, Paxton commended the efforts but expressed concerns about the vast numbers of people entering the country. He highlighted ongoing lawsuits against the federal government to prevent the release of criminals into the country and stressed the importance of states resisting such actions…

    He’s exactly right about that and he needed to say that. Now for the intellectually challenged he is not advocating that Texas leave the union now. Though I would not even blame him if he did given present circumstances and federal regime in place. He’s simply stating that had today’s conditions been present in 1787-1789 few if any states would have signed it.

    The Texas AG is right about Biden nationalizing the Texas National Guard. He has the power to do it but doing so would almost certainly hurt him in the election campaign. Also how many other states national guard would he have to nationalize along the border? As many as 25….

    The Constitution bars any state from leaving the Union.

    Just like hotel California. You can come in but there’s no getting out alive. I hope the Union stays together but the current regime isn’t worth dying to try to preserve the whole as one intact. The fear of what the rest of the world would do in our absence as a single power is about all we’ve got going for us with that regime in charge.

    The Constitution also says the federal government will protect Texas from invasions.

    The government allowed hundreds of thousands of illegals to cross into Texas between 2018 and 2019 ...while Republicans held the WH and Congress ...
    It's just that Republicans HAVE TO allow illegals in so that they can have an issue to run on.

    Biden needs Texas a lot more than Texas needs Biden.

    True. The same applies to most red states. Biden doesn’t want to go down as the one who broke the union or maybe he does…

    Which it should, but I couldn't help thinking; "be careful what you wish for".

    I know they can't leave, but the people that don't like the U.S. sure could; no matter what State they're from.

    That's trump's goal.

    President Biden knows better.

    Biden doesn't know what he needs or what day it is. He will do and say whatever he is told. And like most blow-hards he says it with conviction.

    That's so over used it's trite, and it's not true. It's not something the right should hang their hat on. When you criticize President Biden, be careful; for every video of a Biden gaff there are 2 of trump.

    Just a historical note....one of the reasons Texas seceded from Mexico was due to Mexican Army's failure to assist them in defence of marauding Comanches. Sounds like maybe they jumped out of the frying pan and into the fire! Can't blame them at all for wanting out. If we in Arizona hadn't entertained the idea of turning purple, we would be of the same mindset. That can change back too.

    Trump toadies in Congress sabotaging bipartisan progress in securing the border is unfortunate.

    Well I am sure Texas will come to support the bipartisan immigration bill coming out of the Senate then.

    If Texas opposes significant progress is addressing illegal immigration, it will definitely oppose the legislation.

    Texas supports the House passed bill. The Senate bill won’t get a vote in the people’s house.

    Who's this "we" you speak of? You got a mouse in your pocket?

    Biden's POS administration is ****ing over Texas and the rest of the country. Especially Texas. I'm tired of having to pay for all these mother ****ing illegals.
