Texas Is Entitled to Use Military Force to Repel the Border Invasion

By General Flynn

The Supreme Court’s decision this week to order Texas not to protect its border with Mexico will go down in history as one of that Court’s most cowardly decisions which could doom our nation — if it is allowed to stand. That decision was not just about razor wire — it was about the role of states in our federal system, and the betrayal of the nation – first by a President, and now by two Republican-appointed Justices.

…

America is being overrun by an invasion of people from all over the world. Making the matter even more serious, in an increasingly dangerous world, the immigrants could constitute a Fifth Column. In allowing this invasion, Biden has not just been inept — he is deeply corrupt. As I said, he is carrying out Obama’s plan for “fundamentally transforming” America — for the worse.

…

Today, I want to focus on the first issue. Article IV, Sec. 4, cl. 3 of the Constitution states: “The United States shall … protect each [State] against Invasion.” Biden has not just failed that duty miserably, he chose not to honor that duty. In such cases, the Constitution also allows states to use force to repel invasions. Although the power to wage war is generally reserved to Congress, the Constitution even allows States to use force, up to and including “war,” in case of invasion.

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. [Article I, Sec. 10, cl. 3 (emphasis added).]

…

An Actual Invasion

A majority of Americans, including a plurality of Democrats, now believe that there is an invasion at the southern border. Fifty-one Texas counties have declared that an invasion exists. Under the Biden administration, Texas alone has dealt with a rush of almost 2 million illegals.

It is clearly an invasion. “‘Demographically, socially and culturally, the reconquista of the Southwest United States by Mexico is well under way,’ Harvard University professor Samuel P. Huntington said in 2004. ‘No other immigrant group in U.S. history has asserted or could assert a historical claim to U.S. territory. Mexicans and Mexican-Americans can and do make that claim,’ he said.” The proof is in the history since Huntington’s 2004 comments.

…

The Supreme Court has acknowledged the right of a state to use military force in its own defense. “[U]nquestionably, a State may use its military power to put down an armed insurrection, too strong to be controlled by the civil authority.” Luther v. Borden, 48 U.S. 1, 45 (1849). The Court declared this right an essential element of state sovereignty. “The power is essential to the existence of every government, essential to the preservation of order and free institutions, and is as necessary to the States of this Union as to any other government. The State itself must determine what degree of force the crisis demands.” Id. (emphasis added).

Early in our nation’s history, in Houston v. Moore, 18 U.S. 1 (1820), the U.S. Supreme Court acknowledged the right of states to use military force without consulting Congress. The Court’s opinion stated: “It is obvious that there are two ways by which the militia may be called into service; the one is under State authority, the other under authority of the United States.” Id. at 36 (emphasis added). Even in dissent, Justice Story agreed that when Congress stands by, “the States [may] sufficiently provide for their own safety against … the sudden invasion of a foreign enemy.” Id. at 51-52.

…

at what point will the Biden policies do terminal damage to our country? And, if we sit back and watch him until January 20, 2025, what kind of a nation will we have in a year?

In closing, I ask you to think deeply about these matters. The authority of a sovereign State to repel an invasion, that was reinforced by the Framers of our Constitution, has become central to the preservation of our nation. Nevertheless, two unelected lawyers wearing robes disrespected our Federal structure to rule for Biden over Texas and all other states. These are serious matters which the American People must now wrestle with and pray through — with great urgency. May the public conversation over these issues begin anew, so that appropriate action may be taken by those in authority — before it’s too late.

Ty Anon. Spreading it on Twatter.

Anybody think it is a coincidence we are coming up to the 188 year anniversary of the Alamo? This time it will be Texas vs Mexico via the US Government

The Battle of the Alamo during Texas’ war for independence from Mexico lasted thirteen days, from February 23, 1836-March 6, 1836. In December of 1835, a group of Texan volunteer soldiers had occupied the Alamo, a former Franciscan mission located near the present-day city of San Antonio.

On February 23, a Mexican force numbering in the thousands and led by General Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna began a siege of the fort. Though vastly outnumbered, the Alamo’s 200 defenders–commanded by James Bowie and William Travis and including the famed frontiersman Davy Crockett—held out for 13 days before the Mexican forces finally overpowered them. For Texans, the Battle of the Alamo became an enduring symbol of their resistance to oppression and their struggle for independence, which they won later that year. The battle cry of “remember the Alamo” later became popular during the Mexican-American War of 1846-1848.

WORTH REMEMBERING — @realDonaldTrump last major speech before leaving office during his first term was to celebrate the completion of the southern border wall in Alamo, Texas on January 12, 2021: #FutureProvesPast

“We’ve worked long and hard to get this done. They said it couldn’t be done. And we got it done. One of the largest infrastructure projects in the history of our country. I’m honored to be here in the Rio Grand Valley with the courageous men and women of Customs and Border Patrol. These people are incredible, they’re really incredible. We got it exactly how you wanted it—even the protective plate on top. I say, “Why did we put that?” I said, we need it for extra protection, climb plate. We gave you 100% of what you wanted so now you have no excuses. I didn’t want you to have any excuses."

Moar from POTUS at the Alamo

And you set records and we can’t let the next administration even think about taking it down. I don’t think that will happen. I think when you see what it does and how important it is for our country, nobody’s going to be touching it.

Before we begin I’d like to say that free speech is under assault like never before. The 25th Amendment is of zero risk to me, but will come back to haunt Joe Biden and the Biden administration, as the expression goes—“Be careful what you wish for.”

@realDonaldTrump continued, "It’s been a difficult year and a very difficult election. The pandemic has made it a very difficult year for our country and virtually every country all over the world. Now is the time for our nation to heal, and it’s time for peace and for calm, respect for law enforcement, and the great people within law enforcement, so many are here, is the foundation of the MAGA Agenda. We’re a nation of law and we’re a nation of order, that is why we’re here today to talk about what we must do to uphold the rule of law in America and how we must continue to support our law enforcement heroes, which is exactly what you are. . . when [they] were saying we need drones [instead of a wall] I said, "Why? So you can watch the people pour into our country illegally?"

"When I took office, we inherited a broken, dysfunctional, and open border. Everybody was pouring in at will. Working alongside the heroes in this great outdoor space looking at our wall, we reformed our immigration system and achieved the most secure southern border in U.S. history. It’s at a level that it has never been before. We took on the cartels, the coyotes, and the special interests and we restored the rule of law."

"For years, politicians ran for office promising to secure the border only to get elected and to do the absolute exact opposite. They even promised a wall, if you remember. About 10 years ago, they promised a wall, but they couldn’t get it built. It wasn’t easy getting it built. Getting it financed was tough; getting it built was even tougher. All the different chains of title and all the different things we had to go through; very complex and very difficult. [When they tried years ago] ultimately the money was sent back to the federal government—spent, but no wall was built. But unlike those who came before me, I kept my promises. Today, we celebrate an extraordinary milestone, the completion of the promised 450 miles of border wall. 450 miles. Nobody realizes how big that is." @realDonaldTrump

"[The wall] has been so successful that we’ve added nearly 300 miles that’s currently under construction or in pre-construction. In every region that we’ve built the wall, illegally crossings and drug smuggling have plummeted. In the Rio Grande, crossings have dropped nearly 80%. In Yuma, Arizona, illegal entries have been slashed by 90%. Nationwide, ICE and Border Control have seized over 2 million pounds of fentanyl, heroin, meth, and other deadly narcotics, saving thousands and thousands of lives. We’ve arrested nearly 500,000 illegal aliens with criminal records, some with very serious criminal records, of the type you don’t want to know about, like murder. We removed nearly 20,000 gang members from the U.S., including 4,500 members of MS-13, probably the worst gang of them all."

"Through the landmark reforms we’ve put in place, we’ve ended the immigration chaos and reestablished American sovereignty. Our most important reform was ending Catch and Release; not easy to do. Dealing with Congress, it’s very, very difficult. Which is the functional equivalent of open borders, but even worse. Catch and Release means release into our country, not into another country. This policy was exploited by vicious criminal organizations who understood the laws better than our people understood them for years. To spread misery, and suffering, and drugs, all across the hemisphere. Now, instead of Catch and Release, we have Detain and Remove; it’s called Detain and Remove. Doesn’t that sound better? One of the biggest loopholes we closed was asylum fraud. Under the old broken system, if you merely requested asylum, you were released into the country. And we were taking in some people that you didn’t want to have in your country." @realDonaldTrump

"We instituted a series of historical policy changes to shut down asylum fraud, and that’s what we did. This included the groundbreaking agreement with Mexico, known as the Migrant Protection Protocols (MPP). Under this agreement, if an illegal alien requests asylum, they have to wait in Mexico until their case is heard. They used to have to wait here, and when they were waiting they’d say, “Bye, bye,” and they’d disappear into somewhere within our country and we’d never see them again. This one measure alone ended a humanitarian crisis and saved countless lives; and especially, I have to say, lives from crime.""I want to thank the great President of Mexico, he is a great gentleman, a friend of mine, President Obrador. He is a man who really knows what’s happening and he loves his country and he also loves the United States. I want to thank him for his friendship and his professional working relationship. We actually had 27,000 Mexican soldiers guarding our borders over the last two years. Nobody thought that was possible. They made it very difficult [to illegally cross] and that’s why the numbers plunged even during the construction of the wall…"

"By the way, one of the elements of the wall that make it so successful is we can have far fewer working now; they can be working on other things, other things related to crime and drug prevention and a lot of other elements they’re working on, because we save massive numbers of people. And, included here, we have the most sophisticated camera systems and the most sophisticated electronic systems anywhere in the world. We implemented three historical agreements with the northern triangle, that’s Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador. Under these critical asylum cooperation agreements, the burden of illegal immigration is now shared all across the region. Now, when an illegal immigrant is arrested at our border, they can be sent to a neighboring country instead of into a U.S. community. Prior to my getting here, countries wouldn’t accept them."

"The first month, I’ll never forget. These gentlemen [points to crowd] came to me and they said they won’t take them back. They came—they may be murderers, they may be cartel heads, they may be some really vicious people—the countries didn’t want them back. And, I stopped all payments to those countries; I stopped everything going to those countries. And after it was stopped, or about a month, they called and said, "We’d love to have them back."'
