On 1/26/2024 12:54 AM, Biden Lie 'brary' wrote:
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott received the support Thursday of all but one
of the nation's Republican state governors in his feud with the Biden
administration over border security.
GOP governors from 25 states signed onto a joint statement in
support of Abbott and the Lone Star State's "constitutional right to
self-defense" days after the US Supreme Court ruled that the Biden
administration could remove razor wire installed by Texas along a
30-mile stretch of land near the US-Mexico border in Eagle Pass.
Vermont Gov. Phil Scott, who says he voted for President Biden in
2020, was the only GOP holdout.
"We stand in solidarity with our fellow Governor, Greg Abbott, and
the State of Texas in utilizing every tool and strategy, including
razor wire fences, to secure the border," the statement released by
the Republican Governor's Association read.
"We do it in part because the Biden Administration is refusing to
enforce immigration laws already on the books and is illegally
allowing mass parole across America of migrants who entered our
country illegally."
"Because the Biden Administration has abdicated its constitutional
compact duties to the states, Texas has every legal justification to
protect the sovereignty of our states and our nation," the statement
concludes.
Biden isn't just violating federal law. He isn't just violating
his oath of office. He is creating a constitutional crisis. He
has brought this country closer to civil war than it has been
since the Civil War.
HUGE: Border Patrol Turns on Joe Biden, Proclaims Support for Texas National Guard
Bonchie
Is there going to be a major confrontation on the border following Joe Biden's ultimatum that Texas National Guard forces be removed from Shelby Park and other
"disputed" areas? Not if the rank-and-file of the U.S. Customs and Border Patrol
have anything to say about it.
According to a new post put out by the Border Patrol Union, and a new report from Griff Jenkins of Fox News, Biden has lost operational control of the situation, at least in a practical sense.
Rank-and file BP agents are not going to start arresting TX NG members for
following their LAWFUL orders. That's fake news.
TX NG and rank-and-file BP agents work together and respect each other's jobs.
Period. If TX NG members have LAWFUL orders, then they have to carry out.

The Biden administration had initially warned Texas that it had until mid-day Friday to relinquish control of Shelby Park, the nearby boat dock, and the International Bridge. That deadline has now come and gone, and instead of there being a major clash between the Border Patrol and the state-controlled soldiers on site, it appears those on the ground have already de-escalated the situation.
The Border Patrol Union ends by slamming Biden for creating the current "catastrophe" and reiterating that there will be no conflict between CBP agents and state forces. The statement is a clear signal of support for the Texas National Guard, its mission, and those leading it, including Gov. Greg Abbott.
Rank-and-file BP agents appreciate and respect what TX has been doing to
defend their state in the midst of this catastrophe that the Biden Admin has
unleashed on America.
We want to be perfectly clear, there is no fight between rank-and-file BP
agents and the TX NG, Gov. Abbott, or TX DPS. It may make flashy headlines, but
it simply isn't true.
Furthering the division between the Border Patrol and the White House was a senior CBP official who said they have no plans to follow through on removing the razor wire put up by Texas. Biden has completely lost whatever leverage he had.
BREAKING: A Senior CBP Official tells FOX:
"the relationship between Border Patrol, Texas DPS, & TMD remains strong...
Bottom line: Border Patrol has no plans to remove infrastructure (c-wire) placed
by Texas along the border. Our posture remains the same." @FoxNews

This is an incredible turn of events. I don't know if "mutiny" is the right word
here, but clearly, Biden has no way to enforce his threats at this point. Border
Patrol agents are not going to go along with it and short of using the Insurrection Act to mobilize the U.S. Army (and they likely wouldn't act either), this represents a major roadblock to the president's attempts to further destroy the Southern border.
We are in uncharted territory right now, and I'm certainly thankful cooler heads
have prevailed, at least at this point. Will this force Biden's hand toward some
kind of renewal of enforcement of immigration laws? Surely, with his bluff having been called by his own law enforcement officials, he has to try a different approach. Never underestimate the propensity of Washington politicians
to keep making the wrong decisions, though.
