The Showdown: National Guard Troops And A Massive Convoy Of Truckers Are Heading To The Southern Border For A Dramatic Confrontation
We have not witnessed a showdown of this magnitude between the federal government and multiple state governments for a very long time. During Joe Biden’s years in the White House, millions of migrants have come pouring over our wide open southern border, and now those migrants are absolutely overwhelming social services in large cities all over the nation. What we are facing is truly a crisis of epic proportions, and the fact that the federal government has done nothing to address it has caused an immense amount of frustration in red states. So when Texas Governor Greg Abbott decided to take a stand, nearly all other Republican governors eagerly embraced what he was doing. The following comes from Newsweek…
On Thursday, 25 Republican governors backed Abbott and “Texas’s constitutional authority to defend and protect itself” against what he has referred to as a migrant “invasion” of his state. Some believe the situation is escalating towards a civil war.
…
They were given until Friday to “relent and allow federal agents inside Shelby Park”, but that demand was “forcefully rejected”…
Texas’ attorney general on Friday forcefully rejected a request from the Biden administration to grant federal immigration officials full access to a park along the southern border that the state National Guard has sealed off with razor wire, fencing and soldiers.
The Department of Homeland Security, which oversees the Border Patrol, had given Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton until Friday to say the state would relent and allow federal agents inside Shelby Park. On Friday, however, Paxton rebuffed that demand, saying Texas state officials would not allow DHS to turn the area into an “unofficial and unlawful port of entry.”
So what happens now?
Well, the Biden administration could attempt to federalize the Texas National Guard. But Texas Governor Greg Abbott says that he is “prepared” for such a move and he is warning that it would be “a total disaster” for Joe Biden…
…
The U.S. Supreme Court ruled earlier this week that federal agents have the authority to take down razor wire that Texas law enforcement agencies placed along the southern border in an attempt to keep migrants out of the country. Texas authorities have since occupied a public park near the Rio Grande River in an attempt to keep federal authorities out. Texas’s actions have been supported by Little and a majority of Republican governors.
Meanwhile, a massive convoy of truckers will be departing for the southern border this week. The following comes from a Vice article that is obviously not enthusiastic about what these truckers are trying to do…
A trucker convoy of “patriots” is heading to the U.S. border with Mexico next week, as the standoff between Texas and the federal government intensifies. The organizers of the “Take Our Border Back” convoy have called themselves “God’s army” and say they’re on a mission to stand up against the “globalists”.
“This is a biblical, monumental moment that’s been put together by God,” one convoy organizer said on a recent planning call. “We are besieged on all sides by dark forces of evil,” said another. “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the sons of God. It is time for the remnant to rise.”
The convoy will leave Virginia Beach on Monday, and the plan is for it to arrive on the southern border in early February.
