It is going to be interesting to see how it plays out. I imagine if a bunch of armed ranchers were able to stand their ground against the feds, then the Texas National Guard should be able to as well.
What's fascinating to me is wondering why this is so important to the regime that they are willing to pursue keeping the border open so insistently. There are thousands of miles of desert that they could be sneaking people through and just claim that it's not possible to patrol it all.
One would imagine with the democrats digging in their heels on the "your a raging xenophobe if you want to secure the border" position over the past 8 years that they don't want to give any ground back now with Trump as the likely candidate.
True, but they don't currently occupy the relevant ground. We'll see if they can get the guard to move.
You have family in Texas, though, right?
Yes, most of my wife's immediate family is in Texas now.
As an outside observer a standoff like this felt somewhat inevitable.
