Texas vs. the Federal Government vs. the Constitution
Have you ever lived in or been to Texas? I have never lived there, but I have visited 4 times in my life. My Dad lived there for 3 years before he passed away in 1980. Also, my Uncle has lived in the Mission/McAllen Texas area for almost 20 years now. His wife and her family are Hispanic and most if not all of them are against illegal immigration and what is happening at the southern border. God willing we will be visiting my Uncle later this year.
Of course Texas is our second biggest state and has a conservative majority. They, like Alabama, still have their issues. After all, Houston, Dallas and San Antonio have over a million people each with Austin close to it. They've been able to have constitutionally minded governors including the current Governor Greg Abbott. While in my opinion he waited too long, he and the state legislature finally decided enough is enough regarding the invasion at the southern border, especially in Texas, and are doing what the Biden Administration won't do. In addition, 25 states have gone on record in support of them with some of them sending national guard troops to help with the border crisis. I had already decided to write about this, but then came across this social media meme quote today that says: "Never in my wildest imagination did I ever think we would have to fight with our own country for the security of our own country" ~ unknown. Yet, our founders did put some checks and balances in the Constitution to help when the Federal Government goes beyond their constitutional restrictions or doesn't do what it says. Remember, the U.S. Constitution was put together by the several states to restrict the Federal Government, not the people. From a biblical perspective, it seems the Constitution is the final governing authority since our country is a Constitutional Republic.
So, not only do the rights belong to the people and states according to the 9th & 10th Amendments when the U.S. Constitution is silent, we have 2 other places that address the problem with the Federal Government and Texas regarding the southern border there. As I've written before, Based on Article 4 Section 4, the Federal Government is supposed to protect what's happening at the southern border. But they not only haven't been doing that, they have been doing the opposite. Article 1 Section 10 Clause 3 allows the states to protect their citizens as, and that's what Texas is doing. Trump-appointed U.S. Supreme Court Justice Amy Barrett sided with 4 others in a 5-4 vote saying the Federal Government has the right to cut down the razor wire Texas has been using to help stop the illegals from crossing, but Texas has been continuing to put it up. Folks, this could easily escalate into another civil war if the Federal Government doesn't back down.
So, we have this situation, Ukraine & Russia, Yemen & Iran, China & Taiwan, North Korea, Drugs & Criminals and Terrorists that have been crossing the Southern Border, a corrupt President with a cognitive disorder, an incompetent Vice President, and an over 34 trillion dollar national debt along with rapid inflation. Have I forgotten anything? What more could a country ask for :-( ?
Remember Christians, as the hymn says "this world is not our home..." But Scripture says we are to occupy 'till Jesus comes [again] and that God has ordained our boundaries. Remember the Tower of Babel and confounding of languages? I hope you are paid up (in Christ and His sacrificial death and resurrection for payment of your sins), prayed up, and stocked up. If the Lord's return isn't for a while, it could get pretty rough. But what if millions would pray and rise up to put a stop to these various shananagans? It could happen, if it's God's will. It starts with you. And remember, it'll take more than voting every 2-4 years. Email me and I'll tell you how. Hopefully I'll see ya next week.
