Will they be walking around with rifles and no ammo again?
A powerful gaggle of Texas citizen protesters got the Governor's attention. They homed in on the United States Constitution:
Article I. Section 10. Third Clause.
"No State shall, without the Consent of Congress ... engage in War, unless actually invaded, or in such imminent Danger as will not admit of delay."
There you have it. The Governor has declared war on an invasion by illegal aliens, mobilized his State's military forces, and stuck it to Obama where it counts: In the court of public opinion.
As for legality, Texas law enforcement may enforce Federal Law as they see practicable.
The purpose of this massive effort is not to apprehend illegals, but to keep them from crossing over in the first place; hence less people to take care of.
A show of military force on the border is long overdue. All obstacles can be overcome unless they are over watched by observation and accurate/lethal fires.
The Governor has now made this Mexico's problem and stiffed the Commander In Chief at the same time.
Brilliant.
Perry/Palin '18?
yep...it's a money blowing circus.
Heard on the news earlier today that if the guard actually apprehends any illegals, they have to turn them over to border patrol. How does this do anything different? The people currently coming across want to be caught.
yep
