Greg Abbott's fact-challenged statement echoes cries of the past as his political theater has overstepped the law and the Supreme Court.

Yesterday, Greg Abbott issued an alarming statement. It was full of mistruths, and the language used came directly from South Carolinas 1860 declaration of secession.
Lets fact-check this.
The broken the compact between the United States and the States is similar to the words in South Carolinas 1860 declaration of secession.
There are no immigration laws in the book that Biden refuses to follow. In fact, hes following the same laws weve had in place for 44 years under the Refugee Act of 1980 and the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965.
If an asylum seeker wants to ask for asylum, they have to do it on American soil. So, crossing the Rio Grande and asking border patrol for asylum is perfectly legal.
In November, the Cato Institute published a study which found that migrants were more likely to be released by Trump than Biden.

(28,833 posts)Grandstanding like this is all he's ever done in his political career. When he was AG, all he did was file lawsuits against the Obama administration all day every day and then brag about it.

Very fortunately Joe Biden has been around the block and is too smart to fall for silly tricks.
I live here. He has lost his fucking mind. This is getting scary and dangerous very quickly.

just a little more than 3 years ago I was scared of what we were hearing-here in Otero County NM, Couy Cowboys for Trump Griffin announced proudly his plans to go to the Capitol for freedom and he said which firearms he was taking
he was County Commissioner then.
I can imagine the many violent right-wingers who would be willing to drive to the border and kill.

is the same rabid base of Trump supporters who always vote in the primary. Abbott always, always plays to them.
In the summer of 2015, the US Army held Special Ops war games of small groups of either occupying or resistance forces in rural areas including Texas.
The right wing fever swamp claimed this was the beginning of an invasion orchestrated by President Obama to confiscate peoples guns. Crazy, right?
To placate the crazies, Gov Abbott publicly ordered the Commander of the Texas National Guard to keep him apprised of the situation, lending credit to this crazy conspiracy theory, just to stay in the good graces of these crazy right wing conspiracists.
