Most of the world views us as a singular entity and not fifty different kids in a trench coat. Which is a mistake many Americans make when looking at the rest of the world. The only difference for many large governing bodies is the number of kids in the trench coat.

Houston alone is the same size in area as Montenegro. That's why comparing the US to Euro states is a fools game.

While definitely correct this doesn't quite put it into perspective very well lmao. Texas is 3 times the size of the UK. Or slightly larger than France.

slightly being 50k square miles or 80,467km

True, but size doesn't equate to military strength. For example, the UK has rough 185,000 military personnel as of July 2023. The Texas national guard and militias are only 20k men strong.

Chapter 1: where still bickering over if the islamists are worth solving? Should we bring out the big guns, na people still hesitant to hurt the enemy. Chapter 2: We don't want or need a war with Ethiopia but nobody wants to be the one to give them a port, mabey we could build a new one or compromise but somebody aught to give them a port before they need to take it just makes geography sense don't care who or where but they deserve a coast and will get it one way or another anyway. Chapter 3: America doesn't know if it wants a border, mabey we should just let in anyone that asks and then act surprised when civil war becomes a genuine threat, border control is the one thing where the invasion clause is relevant this is a state decision and cession would be the right choice if the feds can't or won't shut down the influx of unwanted immagrants. Chapter 4: learning why whether it's a gang or a cop if you don't want to be shafted you better arm yourself. What's the difference between a gang and a government that's elected by the sway of the armed populace. You want a vote carry it in your holster.

Well it’s border patrol against a bunch of different national guard units and law enforcement. I saw a live stream from Eagle Pass and there’s Police agencies from all over the country helping

It's Texas and Florida undermining the United States of America. Again. Remember how that worked out last time?

Yeah, it's pretty interesting that the Federal government is trying to forcibly open the border and let people in. Texas and other border states bear almost all of the burden of illegal immigration. They shouldn't be forced by the feds to do things that are an overall negative for the state...

that’s because border patrol is allowing illegals in en masse, giving them iphones n shit.

That is an issue for Congress. The President gets the blame, but he doesn't have that power. Nor do States have the power to implement border policy. (Sorry, but that's established constitutional law.) Republicans in Congress brokered a bipartisan agreement on immigration (they held up aid to Ukraine to get it) but then suddenly Trump asked McConnell to nix it, because he wants to use immigration as a talking point. So you have a federal government refusing to implement a plan because "it'll look good for Biden" (although the President has no authority over this, and the plan was led by a Republican) and a state who wants to patrol their own border, which they're CONSTITUTIONALLY not allowed to do. The problem then is greed and corruption in Congress. Replace them with people who will do their job because the American people NEED it, not block policies because it's an election year.

This

@@rhov-anionread the INA

@@rhov-anion Power to do what specifically? There are many different aspects to "border policy" and how it's implemented and how much authority the president has to implement the current laws is under constant dispute and interpretation. There are currently legal ways to enter the country and illegal ways to enter the country. (Sorry but that is actually established law). The president certainly has the power to deploy armed forces and construct barriers on the borders to prevent illegal entry and so do the states. There was never any constitutional question over Trump doing this except for disputes on how it was funded. The right of Texas to do this is also not really disputed. The recent supreme court case simply overturned a lower court's decision to bar federal officials from taking down fences constructed by the national guard. But there's nothing barring the guard from constructing them again either. There's no debate that the president could nationalize the national guard, Gov Abbott knows this and has already said he has other plans if that happens. The other aspect is that we have a seemingly contradictory law that allows anyone to legally remain in the US - regardless if they entered illegally - if they request asylum until their case is decided, which can sometimes take years. Under Trump, asylum seekers were sent to Mexico to wait until their cases were decided. That policy might have been challenged eventually in court, but that policy was ended by Biden. There's really no dispute there either - one executive policy was replaced with another. This new "bipartisan agreement" would have made it mandatory to suspend granting asylum when numbers exceeded a certain threshold. That might have been helpful but I don't think would have solved everything. But to say that Biden "doesn't have the power" to do anything without this law is just another narrative, sorry. I agree that the issue has been highly politicized. We are constantly being offered a false choice between maintaining law and order and being compassionate to asylum seekers. Ukraine has nothing to do with the border crisis, but it was seemingly the only way to force the issue to be considered. Both parties do this and it's an indicator of major dysfunction. Every complex issue gets torn apart by team red and team blue and then you get criticized for "compromising" by one or the other if you dare to consider all aspects of the situation. In reality, the opposite is true - a dogmatic approach is the real compromise.

​@rhov-anion That would be incorrect. Joe Biden has the power to unilaterally secure the border, just as he unilaterally destroyed border security his first day in office.

Calling the round used by the largest military alliance in history as a “varmint,” round despite its real world application in dozens of conflicts is entertaining.

@@AdamMunzlanganything chambered in 5.56x45 is not "high powered". It only generates around 1,200 foot pounds, it's - by definition - a low powered intermediate 'assault rifle' round, with unarguable origins in the .223 Rem, as a varminter. 7.62x51, a battle rifle round, generates around twice that in power. 7.62x67 aka 300 Win Mag, pushes 4,000 ft pounds.

@@willjapheth23789 Yup, .223 Rem - which is interchangeable with 5.56x45 NATO and from which the NATO round came - was developed as a varminter, go look it up. Indeed the 1st Vietnam era military loading was a light 55 grain bullet at 3,250 fps.

Good topic. Expand and explain the woke climate change policies that have farmers so angry

@@rusm5710I’m relatively sure it’s due to the French regulations on produce, right? I know their regulations are different from most of the rest of Europe, and they produce the most.

@@Anonymous_Because_I_Can The EU nations treat agricultural products similar to how they treat other products. There is generally a free flow of goods and people inside the EU zone. This means some regulations and standards on food are also shared. The EU budget distributes money around the Union, including a large package of agricultural subsidies. Some food has regional protection. The benefit for nations inside this free trade bubble is protection from the outside. Anyone from let's say the USA or eastern Europe or Africa doesn't get this. France has a split between industrial farming that produces bulk foods and farming as subsidized culture. There are national variations in food policies, I think they depend on how organized and how vocal farmers are.

@@rusm5710 We want to know who gets to pay the bill for climate change. Are you going to foot the bill when the next water rationing starts? Or are you going to sit by and cheer as some farm goes under?

If the groups in Syria and Iraq are regarded as "Iran backed organization that received direct Iranian support, including weapons, but they operate of their own accord" , we can also regard Ukraine as "US backed government that receives direct US support, including weapons, but they operate of their own accord". This game is played everywhere, it's the definition of proxy war. Which is why, if the US retaliates against Iran directly, it will just open the door for Russia to retaliate against NATO directly. NATO command knows this which is why they avoided attacking Iran directly, despite the clear link.

@@libertas5005 That is a good point, and that decision would be Russia's to make.

@@libertas5005 The difference is that Ukraine is being invaded by a foreign power, and is backed by far more than the US. Syria and Iraq want to do the invading.

What are you talking about? No policies have changed since Trump, Texas sued the Biden Administration in 2021 preventing any policy changes. So, when they do try to do anything Texas sues them and when they try to make any legislative changes the Republican Party blocks them. After all republicans need something to run on, not like they passed any significant legislation in their past two sessions…

I think not mentioning the numbers of illegal immigrants dose hinder the conversation around it. It's not letting one or two across the boarder people are upset about, it's the addition of a good medium size state that people are upset about.

I just don't understand why so many people seem to be in favor of people illegally coming into the United States I'm all for immigration but it should be legally done.

The current administration literally has tried to stop what’s going on, but congress was blocking legislation because republican leaders didn’t want the legislation to help the Biden administration to look good, so….

@@GrievousReborn It is legally done. Most of these people are claiming asylum, which like it or not, *is perfectly legal.* Party of feelings over facts doesn't seem to care about that though.

The officer class protects its own.

Sounds plausible enough, but likely that's not the reason. Considering the lack of wanting to get dragged into direct conflict with Iran, the US needed the time to make sure the targets and people they went after were important enough to send a message, but not so much to cause Iran to up the stakes in the region. The sad irony is, the US was talking of pulling out. This attack has delayed that now. And considering we now have the retaliation attack which hit 85 different areas (IIRC)... the time was needed to coordinate for that.

Even if that’s true that also a good idea. War with Iran is pointless. Just like it was in Iraq and Afghanistan. In Central Asia especially change only comes from within

If they moved anywhere, they moved to the US next targeted areas...

While I agree with Jefferson's concerns (judges in his days were landowning upper class citizens) even worse would be having congressmen or random governors be the arbiters of constitutional question, especially those who obviously can't pass an 8th grade Constitution test. When it comes to interpretation of the Constitution, SCOTUS is "meant" to be the non-partial, non-partisan interpreters. Yet when you have constitutional scholars decrying that the rulings coming out of their chambers clash or overturn legal precedent and we can all predict how decisions will be made based on the political leanings of the Justices, SCOTUS has proved itself to be anything but non-partisan. Some are there purely to boost the causes of the oligarchs who are "gifting" them stuff.

Do you think that governors or congressmen aka politicians should be the arbiters? Do the governor to create more divission for immigrants people that most times come just looking for work is crazy and it’s not worth it. Let the courts do their job to process these people. Now on the other end there needs to be more funding to uscis they need more people and more immigration judges Biden needs to do something on that end

@@rhov-anion - IMO, unlike the Declaration of Independence (arguably one of the greatest documents ever), our Constitution was conceived as a compromise.

Tell that to Europe. London for example is something like 67% immigrant or born of immigrants that arrived in the last decade. Their entire capital city just completely taken over with no recourse, nor a will to resist such massive change. Sovereignty is over for the majority of Europeans and it is their new normal. They gave up a decade ago.

No one in the history of ever has called Jan 6th an invasion. They say insurrection or rebellion, which also happens to be mentioned in the constitution, but not in the same context as invasion. There have been several migrant crisis around the world more intense than the US's, and I've never heard them described as an invasion. It's really a spit in the face of people who have actually been invaded like Ukraine. And kinda pathetic to even imagine people trying to compare their struggles to invasion.

​@@chriswheeler6092That's been banned. Also, why are you against immigrants getting here and making something for themselves? Is it because they're brown?

@@bjarkiengelsson Strawman, much? The problem isn't that they're "brown", you ignoramus. The problem is that you have a bunch of people doing under the table work that undercuts local labor and doesn't comply to code, that often produces bad results when things fall apart five to ten years down the road due to shoddy practices. I live in a northern state (Michigan) and it's pretty much the exact same here as it is down in Texas, in terms of running into people who don't speak English at all. We also have the same issues of having people that stand out in front of places like Lowes, Home Depot, and whatnot to peddle under the table labor. There's this one Walmart near where I live, where every Saturday, at around 6 PM, a few old converted school busses painted white will show up, and they just drop off full bus loads of people that are obviously coming in from over the border somewhere down south. Mostly men, in their 20s to 30s, and none of them speak English at all. I haven't stuck around to try to figure out where they're going, but it's like clockwork.

@@bjarkiengelssonit’s a a lot more complicated than skin color. 🙄. When millions of people come across a border illegally that is an invasion not migration. Oh and it’s not just “brown people”. It’s people from China, Ethiopia, and the Middle East. Don’t be ignorant when you comment on something.

@@bjarkiengelsson They aren't supposed to enter the country the way they are. Simply walking across the border is not how someone can legally emigrate. There is a long legal process to come here, and every time someone enters the country illegally it affects the chances of someone who is actually following legal procedures. It is basically the same as cutting in line at the DMV, except that entering the country illegally is a federal crime, and supposed to disqualify someone for coming her in the first place. Also the current numbers of unemployed U.S. citizens is anywhere from 6 million to 11 million people, and allowing more people into the country that are technically illegal to give employment to is not going to help anyone, but the criminals who are willing to exploit them for cheap physical labor.

@@chriswheeler6092 I work for a Big Box Department hardware store, and we do not allow anyone to loiter or solicit work in that manner. I live in the Houston area, and I have never seen that in a hardware store parking lot. My brother in law says there are some gas stations in a certain part of town where you can find illegal day laborers though. Also offering them small jobs like that is technically illegal, and if someone offers enough work it is also likely some form of tax evasion as well.

The funny bit is, now Texas is the one doing it wrong. The Supreme Court determined that, and yet Governor Abbott continues to waste Texan dollars. He doesn't ask for help controlling the border, doesn't ask for help relocating the tens of thousands of -does anyone remember?- *refugees* crossing into his state. Instead he plays on Texan fears to try and look hard and "fight the good fight" against a Democrat-led government. If the POTUS was a Republican right now, you can bet the Governor would be acting completely different. Calling the refugees at the border an "invasion" is racist and intentionally misleading. The Republicans can throw up their hands and let out a litany of "mercy me" all they want, but it doesn't change the facts. Texas should step aside like they were told to do. It's the federal government for a reason. Every American, whether they like it or not, has to work within the system they created or, like the Republicans were saying just a few years ago "they can always leave."

​@NotASeriousMoose so are you in favor of illegal immigration? It's not an issue of race at all. It would be the same if it were Russians, Chinese, Candians... the issue isn't the race of the people, it's the facts that such massive numbers are coming here and nobody will do anything about it. Of course there will be a minority of dipshits who are upset that it's non-white people, but that doesn't represent the majority.

Shit happens. Humans make mistakes and equipment sometimes fails. But I'm sure conspiracy nutters will turn (have turned) this into deliberate murder committed by Biden himself.

I would assume that it slipped through while the IFF system was registering the friendly - with the friendly. If that is the case, they certainly will now try to exploit such every chance they get.

The constitution makes it clear that the Federal Government has complete countrol over immigration and border enforcement Just like how a normal citizen can't just go out and arrest criminals even if the police aren't doing it, the State government can't enforce the border even if the feds aren't doing it. So yes Texas is in fact claiming supremacy over federal law. And this goes both ways the Federal government generally can't enforce state laws even if the state is ignoring their own laws.

Bro called a bunch of people walking and looking around the capital building an insurrection. We're not dealing with the brightest of intellectuals here.

A State does not have the constitutional right to defend its border. Texas is breaking Constitution Law. That's called "being a traitor to one's nation." Congress is the only entity with the power to change border policy, and they tried, they had something ready to go. Trump ordered McConnell to stop the bill. He wanted immigration to be a talking point in his rallies, and that doesn't work if Congress actually FIXES the issue.

​@@Cheffe919it's worse than Simon and the writers are making it out to be. We are seeing hundreds of thousands to millions cross the border annually illegally, and many of the border communities are getting destroyed.

They are getting a lot for free, which is part of the problem. They shouldn't be getting a single cent if they are here illegally.

Remittance money from working in the USA is a lot of incentive. Even a low-wage job in the USA can mean a huge improvement. If there truly was no work for migrants there would be less incentive. But at that point the USA's economy would need to be much worse than now, and you would have a lot more problems than migration. It's like watching very rich people across the fence complain how poor they are.

I dunno why but to me it feels like texas is the weird, drunk and racist uncle at the family gathering.

​@godlychild209 you think only one race of people come through the southern border? You probably shouldn't make ignorant comments online without knowing at least a bit of what you're talking about.

Don’t forget he is a rapist.

Every country doesn’t want to be involved in helping their neighbors. One day the US is gonna decide to stop being the world’s protector and what if that is when your country needed help most? Do you think the neighboring countries are going to help the country that didn’t want to help it’s neighbors?

I know the AU has formed task forces for interventions around Africa at times or as part of UN mandates. But I can't recall how often any AU members has intervened across the Atlantic.

@@DakkaDakka12 Haiti is closer to the USA. Kenya sits on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean.

@@SusCalvin exactly,why don't the neighboring Caribbean countries want to step in and help

@@SusCalvin let the neighboring Caribbean countries intervien

I knew he was a little biased when he called Jan 6th an "insurrection " lol

Kinda sad he only shows the liberal side of the story without even bothering to show the other side of the story for all of the instances in the video. Really runs like a left wing hit piece. I thought his editorial quality was alright, but his performance in this story was sorely lacking. Will not be clicking on his videos as much anymore.

The federal government is trying to address the border, even gave the Republicans everything they wanted in exchange for support for Ukraine. They refused to pass it because Donald Trump wants to run on the border. I have my pocket constitution at the ready, tell me exactly where this alleged right you believe Texas has is.

I'm a former Democrat turned moderate and slowly becoming right wing because society is changing... I haven't changed at all... I stand with Abbot, we must close the border.

The breakdown of the issue followed almost all the liberal side's talking points while bringing zero nuance. Sprinkle some "high power weapons" and "insurrection" and all credibility vanished. Shame!
