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.
