MEXICO CITY — Mexico's top diplomat said Friday her country has sent a diplomatic note to the U.S. government expressing concern that Texas' deployment of floating barriers on the Rio Grande may violate 1944 and 1970 treaties on boundaries and water.

Default Gov. Abbott's letter to Biden reflects grounds for Biden's impeachment.

You are absolutely spot on how Abbott's letter to Biden lists the many ways Biden has failed to be obedient to the oath of office he took. In fact, Gov. Greg Abbott’s letter to Biden almost reads like an indictment for Biden's impeachment.

Default Biden’s lawsuit against Texas’ floating barrier fails to state an actionable harm.

Biden’s COMPLAINT to have Gov. Abbott remove a floating barrier erected to help protect the State of Texas from an ongoing invasion of illegal entrant foreign nationals, drugs, and human trafficking, fails to identify the “commerce” being affected by said barrier.

The Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899 (which is asserted to be violated) was adopted under Congress’ limited delegation of power to “regulate commerce”, and to ensure a “… unfettered waterborne commerce between the states, while allowing for the accommodation of local interests.” SOURCE

While the State of Texas has PROVIDED justifiable cause for the floating barrier, and that it is essential to protecting the general welfare of the good people of the State of Texas from an ongoing invasion of illegal entrant foreign nationals, the Biden complaint does not provide a shred of evidence showing the floating barrier has interfered with or disrupted any specifically mentioned commerce.

Since the complaint asserts a violation of the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899, and that Act was adopted under Congress’ limited authority to “regulate commerce”, the complaint is facially flawed in that it mentions no hindrance of commerce.

On the other hand, the State of Texas has established good cause for the floating barrier, and likewise established the current Administrations’ blatant failure to protect the State of Texas from an ongoing invasion, which Article 4, Section 4 of our Constitution commands the current Administration to honor.

Borders are fascist and Trumpian. No human is illegal. Texas is a rogue state.

Only place in Texas on my radar is Gainesville - near the Oklahoma border.

If I can go there and say that I have been to Texas, it will be enough.

There is no such law. You imagined it during a TDS-fueled nightmare. We all have dreams that seem very realistic, but the inability to differentiate between reality and dreams might be something you wish to share with your doctor.
