Gov. Greg Abbott claims the Biden administration has caused a 'constitutional crisis' after the U.S. Justice Department sued Texas to prevent troopers from stopping cars carrying migrants.
Abbott issued the statement after U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland announced that the Justice Department had filed a lawsuit over an executive order the governor signed on Wednesday.
The Executive Order GA-37 tasked the Texas Department of Public Safety with stopping any vehicle suspected of carrying migrants and reroute them to their origin or impound them, claiming that they pose a risk of spreading the COVID-19.
Abbott's order came even after he ended many the Lone Star State's protective measures amid the pandemic, even going so far as to prevent local governments from enforcing mask mandates and vaccine requirements.
'The Biden Administration has created a constitutional crisis between the federal government and the State of Texas,' Abbott said on Friday.

I see two America's coming if these demoncrats aren't stopped
So to "Clarify." Should we get a rope and hang those crossing Our Borders? Or, should we get ropes and hang those allow those to cross our Borders? In effect, the Controlling Members of the Federal Government who have "Broken Covenant with Our Constitution?" Which in effect would be the States "Rebelling against the Federal Government, also known as Secession?"

All members of the Federal Government as well as most of the rest of us "Swore an Oath to Uphold the Constitution". Failure to do so by Members representing the Federal Government have, in effect, " Broken Covenant " with the Remaining States of the Union. Those Remaining States owe obligation to the Constitution, "Not to Members of the Federal Government." Those who have Broken Covenant, have, in effect, removed themselves from any and all obligations and protections under Our Constitution. Our Oaths and Obligations are to One Another as States under the Laws and Protections of the Constitution, not to any form of Federal Government that no longer feels itself under the same jurisdiction. They live among us and do not Rule separately from afar, as did King George and His Kinsmen!

Constitutional Amendment XXVIII
Voter rights and procedure
Section 1. Only registered voters may vote. A register voter must prove citizenship in the United State of America, the person must be alive in the local, city, county, state, and USA of an election. Exception: military personal who will be automatically registered at time of service. These registered voter lists must be updated every 30 days. (This should be easy to set up by contact with vital statistics and utility companies, etc...) At election time all who vote must match the voter list and get one vote each.
Section 2. All election procedures, equipment, software, etc. Must be approved by referendum vote of the registered voters of the local, city, county and state held on July 1 every 2 years.
Section 3. When 5% of the registered voters request a referendum vote on any government legislation, any part of any legislation or any executive order, it must be brought up on the ballot of the next local, city, county, state, and federal election to which that legislation or executive order applies too.
Section 4. When 20% of the registered voters sign a petition to recall any elected official there must be a recall election setup immediately.
Section 5. Any violation of this Amendment is punishable by five years in prison or $250,000 fine or both. Any deliberate violation is treason and in this case is punishable by death.
We have had this discussion before.. any secession must be lawful (negotiated and agreed upon by all parties involved) and show just compensation and arrangements to share in the national debt and give due compensation for the corporate property left in the state, once the domain of the Federal Government
I never sell just to be a nice guy.
The land is more valuable.
Let the exodus of the disgruntled begin.
Skeptical,
Jefferson Davis was found innocent for Upholding the Constitution, as the United States Union including Acts of Congress had broken convenience with the Constitution in Barring Certain Citizens from Taking their Properties to Other States and Territories, and while doing so effectively Enacted "Taking of Property without Remuneration." Always remember Our Nation's very Foundation is Law, and "Law is Without Emotion." Regardless of anyone's feelings and/or understanding of Slavery at the Time of Secession the Act of Slavery was Legal and considered Property. Of note of interest: the War did not begin over Slavery, but as an Act of the Withdrawal of States from the Union. Three years later the Emancipation Proclamation came into being, but only for those States that had Withdrawn. Within all the Union States, Slavery was Still Legal! Perhaps you have seen the movie "Glory" about Slaves gaining Freedom by fighting with the Union Army. What was not shown, this was only for the Southern Escaped Slaves. All Northern Slaves seeking Freedom had to be "Purchased by the Union Army for an average of $240 each, even in Kentucky where they were trained!" Congress prior to that Great and horrible War forced the peoples occupying the Territories such as The Oregon Territory, a choice to either "Pay the Federal Government Six Million Dollars for expenses protecting them from the " Indians" or become a "Slave Free State." In an Area occupied by under a hundred thousand people, Six Million was out of the question. After Two attempts before Congress, the Federal Government Accepted Oregon's Constitution which included its "Sundown Law" That no person of color could remain in its border after Sundown. That Constitutional Law was not removed in Oregon until May of 1996! As Conditions currently exist with the Citizens Bill of Rights being consistently ignored, and the Constitutional Election Laws Completely Ignored, the Grounds for Secession are more than substantial. Under Our Declaration of Independence, which Forceeds Our Constitution, We, the People reserve the right to replace any Government when it no longer meets the Will of The People. My Forefathers were here with this Republic's beginning. I am more than willing to Stand with its demise if called for.

Well said...
I would add... The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people." Quote the 9th amendment to the US Constitution.
The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.". Quote the 10th Amendment to the US Constitution.
The 9th and 10th amendments were included in the Bill of Rights to further define the balance of power between the federal government, the states, and the People. Secession is a power reserved for the States and the People. Secession is Constitutional legal and historically reflects our FOUNDING FATHERS position on governments that become oppressive. Effectively the Declaration of Independence could be considered a legal notice of Session from the British Empire.
States Rights as a political element is an old issue for me, which I support.
The intentions that a Federal territory, upon petition, evaluation, and consent recommendation of all parties involved, gains the advantages and responsibilities of statehood with unilateral at-will Union withdrawl, is only exploitive for the advantages, and rejects the liabilities as descretionary. I do not believe in No-Fault divorce. Further, I at no time see the state geography as severable from the unified federal territory. You can devolve the state (which is the political organization of the inhabitants) into federal territory subject to Federal governance, but that is it. I am afraid I have Roman convictions in this area. We wouldn't see agreement here. Ask the Colonel.
