A migrant surge continues to overwhelm authorities at the US-Mexico border — and in US cities where many asylum-seekers are being sent.

The Department of Homeland Security warns it will – by the end of Wednesday – “refer the matter to the Department of Justice for appropriate action and consider all other options available to restore Border Patrol’s access to the border” if Texas doesn’t confirm it will “cease and desist its efforts to block Border Patrol’s access in and around the Shelby Park area and remove all barriers to access to the U.S.-Mexico border,” the letter states.

    Texas is like a cat, convinced of its independence while being completely dependent. Anything we got gone is due to being part of the Union. We’d be Cuba 2.0 on our own at best.

      Abbott, Patrick, and Paxton are all about provoking a confrontation that they can milk for rage-bait headlines. But I’m wondering if this doesn’t somehow tie into Patrick’s that too front Biden from the ballot. Like maybe they’ll say a confrontation would be insurrection against the state or something stupid like that.
