Texas vs. The United States of America
Threats of military action have brought the already high tensions to possible civil war conditions.
On Jan. 22, 2024, the United States Supreme Court ruled 5-4 in favor of the Biden Administration, allowing federal agents to cut through razor wire placed by Texas State agents on the Mexican border. Texas sued the federal government in Oct. 2023 for undermining its efforts to secure its border. Following the decision, organization for the Take Back Our Borders Convoy scheduled for Jan. 29 quickly began. Convoys lined up almost immediately after the decision, with some reportedly reaching 20 miles in length and videos seeming to showing people blocking the border with tractors. Across the country, 25 governors have signed a joint letter supporting Texas. The Biden Administration gave Texas a 24-hour deadline to remove the razor wire. Biden threatened military action, raising tensions to what some believe may turn into a civil war.
As the illegal immigration crisis worsens, Texas has placed rows of razor wire in an attempt to mitigate the invasion of their border. Feds claim that the wire interferes with agents' ability to apprehend people already in the country-a reported 85 percent of apprehensions are later released into the US. Biden's Administration also sued Texas in 2023 for placing barriers in the Rio Grande River-where 3 crossers recently drowned. Tensions had already increased this month when Texas Gov. Gregg Abbott ordered state troopers and the National Gaurd to block federal Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) agents from entering a 47-acre park along the Rio Grande River, known as Shelby Park, where illegals are known to cross. The move comes after a historic December where at least 302 thousand people illegally entered the United States, but numbers are likely much higher. Under Biden, there have been at least 8,666,074 illegal encounters (not including numbers from Jan. 2024). For reference, there were at least 2,401,861 encounters under Donald Trump's presidency. In Biden's first three years, at least 2,464,424 successfully entered and remained in the country, while under 6,000 were deported as of March 2023.
In a statement on Jan. 24, Gov. Abbott said, "The federal government has broken the compact between the United States and the States." Abbott said the Executive Branch had failed to enforce "immigration laws on the books right now," further stating that Biden has refused and "even violated them." Abbott said that Biden had "instructed his agencies to ignore federal statutes" and "enticed illegal immigrants away from the 28 legal points of entry along the southern border-bridges where nobody drowns-and into the dangerous water of the Rio Grande." Biden's "Illegal refusal to protect the States has inflicted unprecedented harm on people all across the United States." Abbott called Biden a "lawless president who does nothing to stop external threats like cartels smuggling millions of illegal immigrants across the border." Abbott cites that Biden violates Article IV ~ 4 of the US Constitution. Abbott also claims Article I ~ 10, Clause 3, saying that a State has a "sovereign interest in protecting their borders," gives him the right to continue his immigration plan known as Operation Lone Star.
Since taking office, Biden has signed 535 immigration-related executive orders. Through a series of actions, Biden and his appointees show a clear intent to encourage and facilitate mass illegal immigration by; ending the border wall construction, ending the National Emergency declared by President Trump, ending the Migrant Protection Protocols AKA the Remain in Mexico Policy, ending Title 42, further entrenched the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), introduced the US Citizenship Act, ending limitations and restrictions against immigration from certain countries associated with terrorism, announcing a 100 day moratorium on deportation and immigration enforcement, Secretary of State Antony Blinken suspended the Trump Administration's Asylum Cooperative Agreements with El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras, allowing illegal immigrants in the country to sponsor family members with the Central American Minors program, issuing Notices to Report rather than Notices to Appear-most migrants don't, expanding tax-funded services to illegals, creating more alternatives to detention, spreading misinformation about CBP agents, allowing removable immigrants to avoid deportation, giving $300 million in law enforcement grants to sanctuary cities, suspending worksite enforcement, promoting termination of cases in immigration court, reversing the Public Charge Rule, declaring DACA recipiants to be "leagally present" during ongoing litigation, sueing the State of Arizona for blocking their border with shipping containers, creating categorical parole programs for multiple different South American countries, proposing to reduce 25 percent of detention beds during a record breaking number of encounters, giving $110 million to aliens during COVID, giving DACA recipients acsess to Obamacare benefits and Medicad-both tax funded, reducing the vetting process for Chinese aliens, ending DNA proof of relation to accompined children, requesting $14 billion to aid programs to pay for aliens to be in hotels and airplanes, expaning the "juvinile" label to 18-20 year olds, sueing Texas for enforcing Texas law allowing judges to order aliens to return to their country of orgin, and a seemingly endless list of other actions and statements.
Once inside the country, immigrants are sent by bus and sometimes even plane to Democratic "Sanctuary Cities"-cities declared safe for illegal aliens. Arizona Sheriff Mark Lamb said he was "absolutely in shock" when he learned what illegal crosser had been given. "I had known we handed out free cell phones and plane tickets, but to give out $5,000 Visa gift cards to people who break our laws and come into our country illegally when the average American is struggling to pay their bills is just tough to swallow." He suggests that this isn't just happening in Arizona, and that "the government can make the claim that they aren't directly paying for it, because each dollar first goes from the government to a non-government institution like a charity before it is used to pay for the illegals." Cities like in New York and Chicago are being absolutely overrun with the influx of illegal immigrants. Chicago, a city with 68,000 homeless people, has spent over $475 million taxpayer dollars to assist migrants with housing and "Job assistance." In some sanctuary cities, schools have been shut down, forcing the students to go online so that the illegal immigrants can sleep in it. Prominent Black voices across Chicago feel the migrants have been given what the black communities have been asking for for years. In some cities, migrants are now voting in local elections. While the thousands of people flooding into the cities might not have much voting power yet, immigrants have a 2% higher birth rate than American citizens. The number of illegal immigrants who entered the country outnumber the amount of American births in 2023.
Community demographics inside of the cities are changing at a more than unstable and rapid pace. In New York, they are expected to spend over $12 billion in tax dollars over the next three years to house and provide tax-funded services to hundreds of thousands of illegal, non-tax-paying immigrants. A 5% across-the-board budget cut to "every agency," including a 13.5% reduction in police funding, cutbacks in garbage pickups, and pre-k programs. Governments across the country continue to prioritize illegal immigrants over lifelong tax-paying citizens, giving them benefits such as state-sponsored health insurance and housing-which they refuse to do for a large number of homeless US veterans.
Strangely, budget cuts to the police come while the country is being invaded by hundreds of people on known terrorist watchlists. Since fiscal year (FY) 2021, just short of 1,500 terrorists attempted to, and may have successfully, illegally entered the United States. Migrants are reportedly coming from all over. A documentary detailing the path many migrants follow to the US-Mexican Border shows enormous numbers of organized "special interest migrants" coming from China and Middle Eastern countries.
The US faces a multi-faced invasion facilitated by its own government. As states scramble to defend themselves, the mainstream media stays silent and blames the GOP. With possibly the most divided and decisive election in American history coming in November, massive crowds of citizens have organized to defend their border themselves.
