“President Biden has instructed his agencies to ignore federal statutes that mandate the detention of illegal immigrants. The failure of the Biden Administration to fulfill the duties imposed by Article IV, § 4 has triggered Article I, § 10, Clause 3, which reserves to this State the right of self-defense. For these reasons, I have already declared an invasion under Article I, § 10, Clause 3 to invoke Texas’s constitutional authority to defend and protect itself. That authority is the supreme law of the land and supersedes any federal statutes to the contrary.”

    Quick question, since this is really fucking important, what the fuck is he invading?

    Edit: I’m high, so I read this declaration incorrectly. Editing so existing comments still make sense while capturing my current feelings about this

      he’s saying the asylum seekers/ immigrants coming up through mexico are “invaders”. It’s racist rhetoric meant to scare people into complacency and drum up fear of the other because that’s really the only thing he knows how to do.  
       
       
       
       
       
       
       

      he’s been huffing the guanno if he thinks migrants seeking asylum constitutes and invasion. it’s made him bat-shit crazy.

        Forgive me, I’m stoned. I read “declared an invasion” as a declaration of intent to invade something

      Homes of people whom other people say are thinking about getting an abortion when they eventually get raped.
