25 states have joined Texas in defying the Biden administration and a Supreme Court ruling over the open border. Politico. A coalition of Republican governors signed a statement supporting the actions of Texas Governor Greg Abbott. Texas had put up razor wire to prevent illegal immigrants from crossing the border near Eagle Pass, but the Supreme Court had ruled that the Biden Administration could order the wire cut. The governors argue that since Biden has abdicated his role in protecting the border, and is actively assisting the invaders, they have the right to protect the border.
My Comment:
Politico made an error in their post saying only 24 states have joined Greg Abbott in defiance against the Biden administration. However, other sources have confirmed that it's 25, plus Texas of course. I am not sure why Politico got the number wrong.
Counting Texas the majority of states are opposed to Joe Biden's actions on the border. They are all controlled by Republicans but I am guessing that there would be more states if we counted states that are controlled by the GOP in the legislative branches. The only GOP governor that didn't go along with this is Vermont's governor, Phil Scott, who presumably doesn't want to get voted out by his blue state.
It's also important to note that some of these states have sent troops to the border. 14 states have sent troops and support to Texas to help enforce the border and those troops aren't going anywhere. That number may rise with this declaration.
Supposedly Biden has said that Texas has until tomorrow at noon to remove the razor wire or allow the border patrol to do so. That seems extremely unlikely to happen, Abbott has zero reason to back down and everything to gain by keeping things going. And I don't think that Biden can actually do much here.
Indeed, Biden's options are extremely limited. Keeping the border open is clearly a priority for him and his regime backers and I don't know if he can realistically back down. Not only would his handlers be extremely mad about it, he would also lose more support from the far-left. To be fair, those folks aren't going to vote for Biden anyways, due to the Israel-Hamas war, but Biden still doesn't want to risk it.
If Abbott backs down? Biden still loses. There's going to be cameras there showing border patrol agents cutting razor wire all over the internet and it will show that Biden cares more about protecting illegal aliens than he does about American citizens. This would almost certainly give Donald Trump such an advantage in 2024 that there isn't really a way for him to lose at that point, even considering voter fraud and other dirty tricks.
But the worst case scenario? Abbott doesn't back down and Biden tries to use force to open the border. If he does there's a real chance the military or other government enforcement agencies tell him to pound sand. The Texas National Guard will almost certainly avoid his orders and I am guessing that there would be a lot of dissension in the ranks. It could even lead to a coup against Biden if he tried to use force against a State Government.
The other possible result is also the least likely. I am, of course, referring to the idea that a gunfight between state and federal forces leads to a 2nd American Civil War. That is very possible given how unhinged Biden seems to be and I don't think people would tolerate actual violence used against Texas soldiers. Especially when the cause is something that is as clearly unpopular as illegal immigration. And at that point the American people would be more than justified in rising up against the Biden regime...
What I do think is that the days of Americans simply going along with whatever Biden wants is over. People are sick of his actions and just because the Supreme Court gave him some minimal cover it does not mean that people are going to just give him a pass anymore. It's very possible that the States are going to tell Biden to pound sand on other issues as well...
