Dems Call on Biden to Seize Control of Texas National Guard

As Texas Gov. Greg Abbott continues to tout the state’s right to self-defend itself from a migrant invasion, some Democratic lawmakers are calling on President Biden to take control of the state’s National Guard.
Abbott issued a lengthy statement Wednesday, saying the federal government broke the compact between the U.S. and the individual states.
“The Executive Branch of the United States has a constitutional duty to enforce federal laws protecting states, including immigration laws on the books right now,” Abbott said. “President Biden has refused to enforce those laws and has even violated them.”
Constitutionally, the National Guard is state-owned and operated. If any fed gave them an order contrary the state’s order, obeying it would be rebellion against the state. If that’s what Biden want to see, I don’t think he’ll see it in Texas.
