Texas governor Greg Abbott is surprisingly squaring off against the Feds with this move.
2024 is shaping up to be a very wild year.
I didn't think Wheels had it in him. Regardless this is long overdue.
I didn't think he was capable of doing this either.
I am pleasantly surprised by this move.
I hope he stays firm and doesn't cuck out when the DOJ gets a rubber stamped judge order to stop this.
Texas must secure it's own border.
If they're serious, secession will be put up to the legislature.
I don't think that is likely.
Secession wouldn't pass in even the Texas State Senate and it is definitely not going anywhere in the Texas State House.
I think Texas can still stay in the Union while protecting its sovereign right to enforce border security.
