Isn't denying access to the US border to federal agents, essentially another example of insurrection?

I know they are doing this for the show, but I'm not sure if they are ready for the endgame.

The Framers included both Article IV, § 4, which promises that the federal government “shall protect each [State] against invasion,” and Article I, § 10, Clause 3, which acknowledges “the States' sovereign interest in protecting their borders.”

Didn't the Supreme Court already rule on this though?

Why does the federal government seem devoted to keeping the border open?

They don't.

Barbwire is set up at the border to cause damage. It is actually even worse than not having it, since border agents are required to seek medical assistance for any individual hurt during an operation.

The US Constitution says:

Article I

    Section 10 Powers Denied States
        Clause 3 Acts Requiring Consent of Congress

        No State shall, without the Consent of Congress, lay any Duty of Tonnage, keep Troops, or Ships of War in time of Peace, enter into any Agreement or Compact with another State, or with a foreign Power, or engage in War, unless actually invaded, or in such imminent Danger as will not admit of delay.

But TX is obviously being invaded. This is a directed action by well funded organizations.

Furthermore, the US Constitution says:

The United States shall guarantee to every state in this union a republican form of government, and shall protect each of them against invasion

Is TX being invaded? Can you share something about this?

Of course it is not. It's just another dogwhistle.

There's a reason why you don't see this crap happening in California, even when they are well ahead of Texas in terms of unauthorized residents.

The escalating tensions in Texas involving Abbotist militias and the internationally-recognized Federal Government underscore the need for an immediate foreign military intervention to reinstate law and order.

Has Hamas called for a ceasefire in the brewing Texas conflict yet?
