National Guard.
JB controllers could just issue a WH order telling the "National" Guard to stand down.

Hence, why several States are exploring restarting and funding State controlled Guards.

#2 There is a mechanism for Washington to 'federalize' the National Guard. If they fail to do that, then they remain state troops.

#3 Biden and his socialist cadre will likely declare a Federal military zone (US Border FEMA Region) and prevent State law enforcement or National Guard from entering.

I suspect Abbott knows bad things are in store, possibly the reason he has not taken this action previously. The Federal government cannot stand by and let this happen. Could be some rough sledding ahead for America.

#10 The solution to America's border problems: Recognize other countries' problems and refuse to import them. Accept that we cannot solve their problems by making them our problems too.

People who cannot speak English and have a third-grade education are not the next Einstein or Elon Musk. Accept that.
