    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 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

    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.
