    Gov. Abbott Prepares for Possible National Guard Federalization

    Texas - Tension has awakened between the Texas and Biden government.

    Democrats have urged the Biden government to federalize the state's National Guard.

    The call for the federalization of the National Guard came to reduce the use of U.S. Patrol agents from accessing the 47- acres of Shelby Park in Eagle Pass. Abbot seemed to doubt Biden's announcement.

    Greg Abbot talks about the construction of barriers in Texas. Biden also made a statement about seizing control over the National Guard.

    Despite Abbott's criticism of the failure of National Safeguard, the Democratic Party is not allowing Biden’s government to take any initiatives against border immigrants.

    When asked what the precedent was for federalizing the Texas National Guard, O'Rourke said, "Guards in different states have been federalized over time by different presidents for different reasons.”

    Last week, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the border patrol cut can place Texas in Rio Grande. Abbott, following the ruling, said that Texas is putting razor wires along the banks. He further adds that Texas is not going against the S.C. rule.

    Abbott has urged that Texas have the right to protect its border from illegal immigrants.

    He accused the government of not taking any initiative to reduce the movement. He adds that Biden's government breaks the compact between the federal government and the states.

    Last week, Abbott won the support of 25 Republican-held states. Former President Trump has suggested that the governors of those states send patrols to Texas to help secure the border, but it is unclear if they will do so. "Oklahoma stands with Texas," Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt tweeted.

    Other governors who have echoed similar comments on social media include the governor of Georgia, Virginia Governor Brian Kemp, and South Dakota Governor Glenn Youngkin Kristi Noem.
