"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' constitutional authority to defend and protect itself..." -Governor Greg Abbott

[PJMedia.com] In June 1963, John F. Kennedy federalized Alabama National Guard troops to force Alabama's segregationist Democrat governor, George Wallace, to integrate the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa. Now, Joe Biden is under pressure from his party to federalize National Guard troops in Texas, but not for any morally justified cause. It's to stop Gov. Greg Abbott from securing the southern border—something Biden refuses to do. (Screengrab images)

The Supreme Court sided with the Biden administration over Abbott earlier this week by voting to allow the removal of razor wire along the US southern border. Governor Abbott, taking a page out of Joe Biden's playbook, decided to ignore the Supreme Court.

"The federal government has broken the compact between the United States and the States," Abbott said in a statement Wednesday. "The Executive Branch of the United States has a constitutional duty to enforce federal laws protecting states, including immigration laws on the books right now. ...Biden has refused to enforce those laws and has even violated them."

Abbott added that Texas has a constitutional right to self-defense.

"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' constitutional authority to defend and protect itself," Abbott added. "That authority is the supreme law of the land and supersedes any federal statutes to the contrary. The Texas National Guard, the Texas Department of Public Safety, and other Texas personnel are acting on that authority, as well as state law, to secure the Texas border."
