Absolutely amazing. The Biden Administration wants Texas to leave its front door unlocked to allow its home to be invaded.

If the DOJ had humanitarian concern’s, they wouldn’t be allowing human trafficking at the border. Cartels and human traffickers are getting rich and Dems get voters.

Our Constitution, nowhere in its text, nullifies the States’ original authority to protect their borders from a flood of unwanted foreign nationals. In fact, the Governors of States bordering Mexico, not only have the authority to protect against an invasion of unwanted foreign nationals flooding across their borders, but it would be a dereliction of these Governors duty to not take action to stop the current invasion in its tracks.
The bottom line is, the Governors of states which border Mexico are within constitutional limits in exercising their original policing powers which includes rejecting, expelling and even jailing unwanted foreign nationals who cross their border without permission.

The Biden Administration is asserting the State of Texas is in violation of section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act, 33 U.S.C. § 403. Let us keep in mind the Act in question is alleged to be authorized and in pursuance of Congress’ authority to “regulate commerce with foreign nations . . .” But the authority granted to Congress to “… regulate commerce with foreign nations . . .” was never intended to, nor does its text remotely suggest, the State of Texas is forbidden by the power granted to protect its immediate and adjoining water ways from a flood of unwanted foreign nationals invading its borders.
SO, WHAT IS THE PURPOSE FOR GRANTING CONGRESS REGULATORY POWER OVER COMMERCE ?
One purpose for which Congress was granted power to regulate commerce among the states is found in Art. 1, Sec. 9 of our Constitution.
“No Preference shall be given by any Regulation of Commerce or Revenue to the Ports of one State over those of another: nor shall Vessels bound to, or from, one State, be obliged to enter, clear, or pay Duties in another.”
A primary intention for which the power to “regulate commerce” was granted to Congress was to guarantee free trade among the States and this is documented in Federalist Paper No. 42:
“A very material object of this power was the relief of the States which import and export through other States, from the improper contributions levied on them by the latter. Were these at liberty to regulate the trade between State and State, it must be foreseen that ways would be found out to load the articles of import and export, during the passage through their jurisdiction, with duties which would fall on the makers of the latter and the consumers of the former. We may be assured by past experience, that such a practice would be introduced by future contrivances; and both by that and a common knowledge of human affairs, that it would nourish unceasing animosities, and not improbably terminate in serious interruptions of the public tranquility.”
The power to regulate commerce among the states was in fact intended to prevent one state from taxing another State’s goods as they passed through its borders or interfering with the movement of such goods.
Additionally, as previously pointed out, the power to regulate commerce also grants an oversight to Congress in a specific and clearly identified area__ a State‘s inspection laws:
“No state shall, without the consent of the Congress, lay any imposts or duties on imports or exports, except what may be absolutely necessary for executing it’s inspection laws: and the net produce of all duties and imposts, laid by any state on imports or exports, shall be for the use of the treasury of the United States; and all such laws shall be subject to the revision and control of the Congress.”
It is sheer insanity, or an intentional act of tyranny, to even suggest the State Delegates to the Convention of 1787 which framed our Constitution, or the State Legislatures when ratifying the Constitution, intended by the power in question, to be delegating authority to Congress to subjugate the various States’ original authority to protect their borders from an unwanted invasion of foreign nationals. The power delegated to Congress to regulate commerce has been so distorted and abused over the years, that it is time for our Supreme Court to expound upon the intended and limited authority agreed to by the States and people therein, who gave their consent to the clause in question.

So, getting back to the subject of the thread, how is the State of Texas violating the law by protecting its border from an invasion of millions of foreign nationals?
All this for a 1000-foot string of buoys.
We need a 1000-MILE barrier.

Seems to me the Biden Administration is intentionally focused on filling the United States with millions upon millions of other countries poverty-stricken, poorly educated, low skilled, diseased, disabled, and criminal foreign nationals. The question is why? And what are some of the devastating consequences which American citizens are suffering from this Administration’s policy?

Am I right? 
You didn’t read post #4 with any retention did you?
How? Abbot is responsible to the people of and the state of Texas. The federal goobermint has responsibility to protect the sovereign border. The J’Biden clown show isn’t protecting anything but encouraging an illegal invasion horde to traverse Texas. The federal law Ol Joey intends to jam Gov. Abbott with is a commerce law.
What commerce other than human and drug smuggling is being engaged.
