A woman and two children drowned in the Rio Grande on Friday while trying to enter the U.S. near a section of the southern border where Texas National Guard soldiers have prevented federal Border Patrol agents from processing and rescuing migrants.
This crime occurred when people were crossing the border. The FBI needs to get involved and charge all involved with giving the order and physically restraining the agents with two counts of murder, and all present (excepting the Border Patrol agents) with accessory to murder.
Biden needs to send the Army in and take over the Texas Border enforcement.
Army outranks the National Guard, especially the state ones. The POTUS absolutely also does have power to command any National Guard unit to stand down as well.
nah man just open the border and hand them into the custody of amazon or walmart

He legally can’t. He is not able to unilaterally use the military as a domestic police force. This keeps the executive from using the military as their personal cudgel.
I agree with the strong arming via national guard though. I think there are some hoops, but there’s absolutely plenty of precedent for a president taking command of a state’s national guard (specifically in regard to border control as well).
On today’s episode of “The cruelty is the point”
When they grandly talk that every soldier must refuse orders going against human rights, and if not, be legible to be tried and punished afterwards, they are talking about these kind of orders…
Let’s remember this when Texas’ grid needs federal help again.
Fuck red states. If people want to deny other people assistance in times of need, I say we do the same to them.
I get what you mean here, but I MUST point out that many people who live in red states don’t believe in the same ideology, or can’t get out.
If there were a way to selectively punish the policy makers, and those that support it, I’m game. But this sounds like the same indiscriminate punishment rhetoric that Israel is using. (Please don’t take offense, I know it’s not how you meant it, just pointing it out)
I mean, we know who the republicans are.
Personally, I think no one who currently holds office as a republican should be allowed to hold any government office or work at any private entity that works with the government.
They’ve had years to leave the party as it has slid down into the nightmare it is today. The party is a hate group. Staying a member is damning.
Selectively punish policy makers? Um voting. That seems to not be a popular idea though.
