      XPost: misc.immigration.usa, alt.politics.usa.constitution, alt.       an.rush-limbaugh       XPost: talk.politics.guns, sac.politics       From: yourdime@outlook.com              Texas has said it will continue to install razor wire at the US - Mexico       border despite a Supreme Court ruling which allows the Biden       administration to take it down.              The state has been putting increasing pressure on the federal government       for assistance in tackling the surge in migrants arriving from across the       border.              A section of the border near Eagle Pass in Texas has been the centre of a       standoff between the state and the Biden administration amid uproar over       border authority and security.              Authorities claim the Texas National Guard blocked federal Border Patrol       access to Shelby Park - previously used by the Border Patrol to process       migrants and for its Rio Grande boat ramp.              A Supreme Court ruling stated that federal government can remove Texas’s       barriers in the area.       However, Texas Lt Gov Dan Patrick has vowed to continue putting up more       razor wires.              "We are putting up wire ... everywhere we can. We will continue. We will       not stop," he told Fox News.              "If they cut it, we will replace it."              LATEST DEVELOPMENTS:              ·Texas National Guard takes urgent action to seize control of border park       in bid to curb migrant crisis              ·'Absolutely bananas': Ashley St Clair blasts Biden’s 'plan to allow non-       citizens to vote in elections'              ·'This is f****d up': New York students forced to study remotely as school       repurposed for migrant housing              Patrick also warned of "confrontation" with state authorities if the       barriers were removed.              He added: "I was down there Friday with our troops to thank them, support       them, and also to stand with them in the event the Biden administration       did send Border Patrol there.              "Wisely, they did not. We’re thankful they did not. We don’t want a       confrontation, but we want this border secure."              Last week, Gov. Greg Abbott said Texas has the right to fight off an       "invasion" and that state authority "supersedes" federal law.              Biden is now facing pressure from other Democrats to nationalise the Texas       National Guard and force it to tear down state barriers.              More than half of American Governors have sided with Abbott in his furious       spat with Biden.              The group, which includes every single Grand Old Party Governor excluding       Vermont’s anti-Donald Trump Governor Phil Scott, expressed support for       “Texas' constitutional right to self-defence”.              https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/texas-vows-to-install-more-razor-wire-       as-biden-found-to-have-intentionally-undermined-border-security/ar-       BB1hzgTT              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
