Abbott's Army

    Failure to secure the border from an invasion? When the destitute from other nations are turned away for being terrorists, that is the crime. They come begging for mercy, and we greet them with razor wire. They drown in the Rio Grande because Texas officials refuse to allow border agents to save them, and we file a lawsuit to maintain the right to drown more of them. What has become of our nation? Does it remain a Christian nation?

   I call it Abbott's Army, and it is an army taking on the United States. Gov. Abbott would have us believe he is but a patriot protecting our borders. He cites Article IV, Section 4 as giving him the right to lead an insurrection. Article IV, Section 4 says it is the obligation of the United States to protect the nation from invasion, but it does not say that if the federal government does not do it, Texas can. Nor is this an invasion to begin with. The people come looking for jobs, to join family, and to escape intolerable conditions in their home countries. They are hardly an invading military force. I would guess more of them carry Bibles than carry guns. 
It is sad that Utah's governor has signed on with this rebellion. It is not the immigrants who are rising up against the United States, but Abbott and his followers, Abbott's Army.
