I like Tucker but, I think he is wrong that Abbott can just line up the National Guard....we have 19,000 soldiers and a 1200 mile border some of which looks like this....

Abbott has done more than most governors. It was his idea to start bussing illegals to sanctuary cities to spread the problem around a bit.
He put these, in the Rio Grand,

Then the courts said he had to take them out. The State appealed and got a stay, so the buoys are still in place. They are also building a razor wire wall.
They passed legislation (house bill 7) that made it a crime in Texas to cross the border into Texas anywhere but a port of entry, created a border police force with arrest powers, funded by 100 million, which would also create new detention centers.....

He has done a lot. Texas does not have the pocketbook that DC has. So far we have spent 10 billion of our own tax revenue.
Now, Biden is trying to pass a cross in Texas, stay in Texas law. No other Governor has been attacked by the Feds on this issue as much as Texas because no other border state is taking this issue on as hard.
Abbott was on with Glenn Beck this morning.
You know what would help tremendously is if the OTHER non border state governors would do their part in catching the illegals that cross their borders into their States! What are your governors and congresses doing to combat it? Texas is not the only state with border sovereignty.15 gaurd per mile is plenty enough. There not pouring in through terrain like like that. The guard are already funded. Texas would get more than enough money and resources from donations.
He doesn't want to fight, he only wants to play politics.

Most of them like to run their mouths when it is politically expedient for them and then do absolutely nothing about it. They sit around with their thumbs up their butts and expect the feds to do something while preaching to the choir about how state's rights are being violated all sorts of areas. Here is an opportunity to push back and none of them are doing it. To them, illegal immigration really is just a campaign slogan.
Like him or lump him Abbott (and Paxton) is pushing the boundaries of State's rights on multiple fronts (firearms and this BS sex agenda in schools being others) and using the courts to set precedent for other states to follow. Abbott has done more than any other governor on this issue.
You cannot use all of the guards, they have other duties like hurricane preparedness' and wildfire back up (we just had 3000 acres burn near Davy Crockett NF about two weeks ago). So take that number and cut it by half. Border milage is calculated as the crow flies and excluded the elevation changes.
I get it. You want us/the guard to just start shooting, but, why is it that the other states, cities and towns with illegals invading them, haven't done so? There is a reason if you think about it.
This is a nation wide issue. The effort and responsibility should not just be on Texas' part which is kind of the point Abbott is making by bussing them out and spending our tax money to fight the feds in court!
Doubtful. He just made it illegal for cites, towns, or counties to outlaw the sale of ICE vehicles, tractors, lawn mowers etc. How very "green" and anti-free market of him. Believe what you will but, his actions say otherwise.He's doing something, he won't do what needs to be done. That's what controlled opposition does. He's a WEFer
I get you but, there is an obvious reason they cannot do that.i Know how I would handle it. But probably can’t because of terms and conditions.
But when they cross that last cattle gate, 800 miles from the border…………….
