Greg Abbott invokes invasion clause on the border

[Damocles]

Kind of ironic for a state whose sole reason for existence was white Anglo mass illegal immigration into what was then the department of Tejas y Coahuila, then a racist revolt against the Mexican government because they were going to enforce their slavery ban and Catholic religious conversion and Spanish fluency requirements, proceeded to kick out all the Tejanos and deport them across the Nueces River, and then rebelled *again* against the federal government during their support for the 1861 slavers’ revolt.

Pretty sure this isn’t about border security, or any legitimate concern about immigration. This is just Abbott pandering to the racists infesting his state. What was that about us being a “nation of laws?” Or are they closeted Maoists who believe political power only ever originates from the muzzle of a gun?
