Hey, what's that map you used at around 2:24?
Texas will soon declare independence
Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis, 1933: “We must make our choice. We may have democracy, or we may have wealth concentrated in the hands of a few, but we can’t have both.”
Jesse Ventura, “When the government lies, the truth becomes a traitor.”
Trump "promised" a lot of things, but never really built much of the wall at all.
The economy of Central America has never been what it should be due to YanKKKee arrogance and greed under the "Monroe Doctrine".
Central American economic collapse will accelerate due to climate catastrophes. Currently, working outside near the equator leads to kidney damage from high temperatures.
Noam Chomsky: ”I don’t know what word in the English language…applies to people who are willing to sacrifice the literal existence of organized human life so they can put a few more dollars into highly stuffed pockets; the word ‘evil’ doesn’t even begin to approach it.”
H. L. Mencken (1880 - 1956): “Nobody ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American public.”
William Casey (CIA Director 1981-1987): “We’ll know our disinformation program is complete when everything the American public believes is false.”
Abbott is just another loudmouthed Texass bigot appealing to goose-stepping morons.
Foreign policy is a US Federal responsibility.
Biden has the complete right to decide who enters the US as he is President, not Abbott.
The last time US states tried protecting their "property" resulted in the Civil War. Their property became free, except for Jim Crow bigotries. Let's see how far any secession attempt takes moronic Texassans.
H. L. Mencken (1880 - 1956): “The men the American people admire most extravagantly are the most daring liars; the men they detest most violently are those who try to tell them the truth.”
Alexis de Tocqueville : “I know of no country in which there is so little independence of mind and real freedom of discussion as in America.”
The US immigration will NEVER be solved until the cartels are snuffed out of power. Immigration "issues" are in the US are largely smoke and mirrors. Every president for the last 50 years has said they will "fix" immigration yet doesn't because it can't be fixed and even if it could be, it's too valuable as a tool for election propaganda to do so.
I’m a Texan. And I approve of this message
when your favorite geo-political youtube channel starts covering your home it's never a good sign
This is the proverbial Bad Times.
Same man I was like “HUH 😀” my home!? Were fucked my guy
Thanks Joe Biden...only you could mess things up this bad!
Oh my god. I had my heart broken when youtube geopolitics channels started calling my country a failed state. We aint done yet.
Polish propaganda .
13:08 makeing "revolutions illegal" is one of the most redundant laws possible. Just behind "breaking the law is illegal".
He didn't "make revolution illegal". He actually pointed out that revolution, by it's very nature, cannot be legal and therefore Texas can only lawfully secede if the other states agree.
@@liquidrock8388 In the USSR, any Soviet Republic had a right to secede. That is why places like Belarus quickly seceded from the Union, despite them having even fewer issues with Moscow than Texas has with Washington.
But Texas doesn't have the same constitutional right to secede from the USA as Belarus had from the USSR.
@@awesomebearaudiobooks sure it had the right to secede. It's just that for nearly all of the USSR's history voicing such opinions would earn you a few weeks of torture followed by a lifetime in gulag. Which in most cases wouldn't be very long.
@@blackchrysler Just because they changed the name doesn't mean they stopped existing. Are people being sent to penal colonies in places with harsh climate? Are they forced into hard labor? Do they suffer from malnutrition and poor hygiene? Is there a system in place where prisoners police each other based on a strict caste hierarchy where those at the lowest level suffer from (among other things) sexual abuse? If the answers to those questions are "yes" then gulags not only didn't disappear under Krushchev but are arguably still present in todays Russia.
Unfortunately now we actually need people to say "breaking the law is illegal", given how many illegal border crossings are committed every day.
"these barriers make it difficult to cross the river"
that's the fucking point
The clickbait sensational title crossed the line if you ask me

Bold of Biden to assume Texans would agree to be federalized... make no mistake Biden will blink long before Texas.
@@DaveP-uv1mlwon’t do any good when other states are sending their national guards and will continue to erect barriers.
Texas just so happens to be blocking federal agents in certain areas.
I'd clickbait the f out of this if I where in their shoes lol
This is basically free money
1 winter and a powergrid shut down will say otherwise
As a Texan, this is the first I'm hearing of a recent talk of secession. it's a common conversation point amongst Texans, but Texas is more like Scotland and the Uk. We were independent at one point in history, nearly 150 years ago. But we all understand that in order to stop global powers like China and Russia, Texas has to continue to strengthen the United States.
During our annexation it was argued that we could secede if given good reason to, but the right was lost when we lost to the union in the civil war. this is how it's talked about in my circles. I was born and raised here, for the past 26 years.
Texas history is a mandatory history class here k-12 (Elementary-Middle-High School) so how we formed and our political background with the United States and our annexation is a heavily studied subject here in the state.
Don't forget who writes your history books. They are definitely against you and will curve history to make you accept your bondage to a criminal regime.
Just because it's taught in the schools doesn't mean it's right. Both in moral and a factual sense. The legitimate LEGACY population of Texas has got to get up up off their knees, clear your heads of the poisonous fumes of post-modern America and the lies for which it stands, and boldly discuss secession in the open.
Washington is abusing Texas in the way that King George III was abusing the Colonies. But, we're not looking at 1776 2.0 this time. You're looking at 1789 2.0 France where the enemy is in your capital and claims the right to rule over you without question.
Of course, YT hides a powerful comment that was weighed by the comment suppression system and decreed to be thoughtcrime.
The same evil power that rules YT and Google rules Washington. Never forget that and do what must be done.
Scotland has a huge history. Texas only had a few decades prior to being annexed. As a Texan I don't want to insult a place with an actual national history. And no. Not all Texans understand or care about global politics. Since the right supports a lot of the anti-federalist talking points and buys into lost cause narratives about the Civil War, while attacking the study of the Civil Rights movement and race relations, not a lot of them consider states' rights to secede as having been decided.
I can see Russia and China are your reason to put your life in somebody else's hands.
That's just stupid and say a lot.
To make more sense here is a question for you.
Are you afraid of Russia who is global power always ready to attack USA (media/government interpretation)
Or you are afraid (same media/government interpretation) of Russia that can't exit 10 miles into poor neighbours country, populated with Russians?
People who believe school, media, government...more than they believe common sense always surprise me.
No. There is really no danger for USA or Texas without USA.
Scotland will separate for sure, they will choose moment.
Don't get offended. Just try open more topics for you to think. I guess your Russia/China reasons will disappear if you really deeply think about them for a moment. For me it is obvious brainwashing. Maybe there are some other reasons, true ones. I don't know.
Second one where you can "lose rights" is not acceptable for my mentality. If my fathers were fighting for something and lose...it would be one more motivation for me to succeed next time...not to give up forever. Right to choose for yourselves
Texans dont like to admit it, but the whole point of the Texas revolution was to take it from Mexico and enter it to be part of the US, but congress drug its feet and Texas was independent for 10 years of limbo until Congress finally decided. California did the same thing but no one talks about it because their republic lasted two weeks or something incredibly short before the US took it in during the Mexican-American War
As an American, this is the best analysis of the issue I’ve seen so far. Far more comprehensive and insightful than the American news media, on either side of the political divide.
There is no divide 80% of those polled want it closed.
Another important thing is that drug prohibition feeds the cartels, so it increases the number of immigrants.
Also Texas may be defying the Federal authority, but California and its Sancturary Cities have been defying Federal Immigration law for decades.
Respect to Good Times Bad Times for listening to the comments and editing the video title 👍🏻 demonstrates integrity
What was the title at first?
@@snow24121 Texas Goes to War With the US Government.
Integrity would've meant not writing a clickbait title in the first place. This channel is trash.
@@snow24121 "Texas goes to war with the US government". Arguably still accurate lol but perhaps a stretch and a little click-baity
@@ExtraRice365 Not even close. Texas is not rebeling or defying the government they are doing exactly what they were allowed to do and nothing more. This is just a clownshow
If people choose to go into a river while knowing they are not allowed to get on the other side, they got to deal with the consequences themselves. If they drown, then they drown, they walked into the river themselves. If they stand there for hours and hours, let them stand, show them there is no point standing at a border.
It's like the crap in the English Channel where illegal immigrants put themselves into the sea in small boats and the disgusting French and British navies along with the RNLI (Lifeboats) help people traffic them from a safe country (France) to another safe country UK. They should be locked up for assisting the people smugglers.
The overwhelming majority of those people have no legitimate right to claim entry into the US. Almost none have just cause and quite honestly, the US should consider sanctions on South American Countries, that permit these flows of people.
Indeed....this should be common sense to some, but lo and behold theres some moron who voted for Joe Biden😊

@@justadildeau Wow... You're really a sad loser!
It's a little surreal to hear this voice explaining serious problems in North America, rather than Ukraine or the Middle East. Not ridiculous, or wrong. Just surreal. I hope it can awaken at least one American into realizing how very, very weird their country is.
Only one group is responsable for this. The Democratic party and there "leader" Joe Biden.
I think most of us know but we just don’t know what to do about it 😂
How is America weird? Other countries are 100 times "weirder", it's just that your ignorant ass doesn't hear it because media only focuses on tiny, insignificant problems in the US, instead of the almost 200 other countries.
Surreal how? The US has a very high homicide rate (higher than Canada, Chile, Argentina, or Uruguay), the biggest prision population in the world, a horrible GINI index, an opioid crisis, and a weird obsession with guns, besides a heavily polarized population political wise. Calling it "surreal" sounds like you were not paying attention.
How is it surreal this has been clearly planned and openly accessibly for decades?
As for the woman and her two children I truly hate that it happened but #1 she shouldn't have taken the first step into the Rio Grande River!!!! Nothing about her and her two children loosing their lives was the fault of the United States of America!!!! So that story needs to stay out of the news stories!!!! No one would get cut up by the razor wire that's been erected along the river if they wouldn't try crossing through it and simply use a point of entry which is a bridge over the Rio Grande River with no razor wire on either side of the bridge!!!! How bout they try that!!!!🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
If you don't want to drown, maybe don't swim in the big dangerous river 😂

Thank You for this overview
As it is election year, I don't see Texas actually leaving the US. Essentially when Trump is in a strong position to win it.
Texas would never leave and even if they wanted to they don’t have a chance against the full might of the US military industrial complex
@@817sportsThat’s total nonsense, because it’s not just Texas, it’s over half the nation, and just so happens the states on Texas’ side have the highest rates of gun ownership & training and provide the US military with most of its soldiers.
The US didn’t take Iraq, Afghanistan, nor Vietnam, none of which are as well armed as the Texas Alliance, nor have as many of its own people in the US military, ready to cause havoc from the inside.
Such a hubristic error would be the undoing of the American military industrial complex.
@@817sports The military industrial complex will shatter because it's not just Texans and Texas who are going to revolt against Washington.
@@817sports The US Military couldn't fully lockdown Iraq nor Afghanistan so how do you think the US Military is going to do that to a state as vast as Texas is? Especially a US Military that is currently 41,000 recruits behind as it is.
It wont happen, we are just going to let the feds know we got this and that the rest of the country needs to be taken care of too not just Texas
All my life ive heard of the border issues on the news and eventually while traveling for work ive gotten to see it for myself.
Its always been treated like "thats a TX, NM, AZ, CA problem"
Then when states want to try and fix it themselves we hear "no you can't do that"

Hi Times. as a Yankee living in Texas, im looking forward to watching this. 👀 👍
Born and raised here in Texas. What you're missing is that because of our former independence, Texas maintains it's own military, guard, and state guard. The only thing we don't have is a navy. Our state troops under the Texas military department answer first and foremost to the governor not the president. With immigrants coming from the middle east and China our governor is well within not only our state's constitution but also the federal constitution. If we need to secede to protect our people so be it. The threat from Bidens lawlessness is dire.
You are greatly overexaggerating the role of the Texas Military Dept. It comprises of 3 types of Nation Guard, which is the same guaranteed for each and every other state in this union.
What your government is doing is unconstitutional in practice, they are willingly going against Supreme Court rulings, which may I remind you is the highest court in the United States, and threatening secession just because you aren't getting your way. The states have their own powers, yes, but they are required by law to answer to the federal government if they were to contradict a state's decision. This is ONE NATION INDIVISIBLE, not a loose confederation as you may believe.
Texas at the moment is not much different from the Confederates, who attempted, and failed, to secede a century and a half ago, who advocated for the *enslavement* of minority races just because they were different from the ruling elite. Think about that long and hard before y'all continue down this path of yours.

Political stunt
Tens of thousands of criminal aliens enter our country every day, women and children are victimized, and the American people are spit on and made poorer every day. They're kicking our children and citizens out of schools, hotels, and community centers to house criminals who broke our laws. It's not a political stunt, we have to secure our borders or we are by definition not a sovereign country...
Trying to stop millions of people crossing the border illegally isn’t a political stunt
So happy I found this channel
What is the editing software you're using, it looks advanced and cool? I have tried to edit videos in the past before, but it doesn't look as rich as others like yours. Especially the thumbnail, how did you make the strategic looking map?
Native Texan here. There have always been crazy secessionists in Texas. None of the rest of us take them seriously. They are just very noisy. But conditions along the border are very bad and people living there suffering and have legitimate grievances. There is a huge amount of pro-Abbott/anti-Biden feeling, and much Schadenfreude over the mayors of sanctuary cities flailing around trying to cope with all the migrants they invited to come. Border states have been coping for years, and none of the "sanctuary cities" gave a sht about it then.
Yes, feelings are running high but not high enough to really seriously push for leaving the US.
"Dangerous Rio Grande?" Anyone saying that has obviously never seen it. I have no idea how that woman and her children drown. At the most, it is 5 ft. deep. There is no current to speak of. In most places, you can wade across it without getting your shirt wet.
Having canoed a few hundred miles of it more than once I should point out that while much of it is shallow and slow, there are a few places where it narrows, gets deep and the current picks up. And of course there are spots with significant rapids and drops. Upper and lower Madison Falls in the Lower Canyons of Big Bend comes to mind. Someone like a mother with 2 kids trying to cross in the dark can get killed if they can't swim and try to cross in the wrong place.
@@johnwest7993 I hate to be the one to say this but... Maybe don't try crossing the fuckin' border illegally? Asylum? Where's my asylum from all the insane idiots running this country? None of us get reprieve and are suffering so why in the hell should I care about people doing some ILLEGAL and only looking out for themselves? Sorry but we don't have the capacity, say what you want.
No one drowned. It was false. Biden has had to walk back from the situation(which is why it's not on the news now) because it was a lie reported too quickly before the facts to catch up.
Plenty of sources if your willing to look. GGs.
There are a large percentage of people from 3rd world countries that don't know how to swim. That combined with the naturally shorter stature of central American people means they are at risk of drowning when crossing that river
@@Obey_My_Dog🤣🤣🤣
Do you have any statistics backing this up? Plenty of people in dirt poor countries can swim, especially island nations and countries with large shores.
I can’t wait for Europeans to tell me I’m wrong about this being blown way out of proportion and that it’s not a rebellion , even though I live here and they don’t
There is no rebellion. If there was, you'd be turned into pink mist within a minute by some 18-year old dude sitting in an air-conditioned shipping container in Las Vegas controlling an MQ-9.
Do wait for yankee version of Maximilien Robbespierre.

Huge respect to Greg Abbot for protecting our country’s borders 👏
That sending asylum application to New York, Chicago, and D.C is a great move, but sadly Biden and the government still allowing illegal immigrant 😔
I can’t understand why people argue either the erected barrier is humane or not. Its purpose is to stop people crossing the river and the border, why should it be humane ?
Those people have the choice to not crossing the border and get hurt because the barrier, and people say it’s wrong to stop them ?
where did you find that artistic us map with the major cities and nature/elevation?
Was wondering that myself, kinda looks like those Texas maps you see in the Roadside Shelters on I35 or similar long highways. Very nice though, hopefully you get a response.
I am looking for it too, paused the video there and tried to enjoy the map but it would be much better to see the full version somewhere
I found it. Spend a lot of time on google images searching different terms and found the author then the source, only to realize its published by unique media, something that is inscribed on the map itself and can be seen in the video... Anyway, search Unique media maps and you will find it!

Keep up the good work
Curious to see an analysis with a scenario that the federal government starts enforcing current US immigration laws.
About the decision being decided by previous Supreme Court rulings: Dred Scott, Roe v. Wade, Plessy v. Ferguson, Korematsu v. Unitied States (not changed but repudiated), many rulings regarding labor law vs right to contract. All of these reflected rulings made in response to current pressures overruled to be more in line with later thinking. There is a complete spread of bad rulings overruled for good ones, good rulings being overriden by bad ones, and bad rulings being replaced by bad rulings. I'm not aware of any cases where good rulings were replaced by good rulings. Stare decisis is a pragmatic legal principle, but is neither a product of logic or morality.
It's precedent, changing rulings is well within the rights of the Supreme court, but every time it does so with long settled topics, it chips away at its legitimacy. It has to balance that. It has certainly tested the limits recently, but it's not the first or last time.
@@OryxAU Every time a court makes a bad decision it also chips away at its legitimacy. Given that in the world, when it comes to cases that affect politics there are as many folks complaining about administrations trying to affect the judiciary as folks complaining about the judiciary trying to make political decisions rather than judging the law, this concept of judicial legitamacy has reached a dead end. It's about as useful as phlogiston.
kind of super fucking gross that Dred Scott was annulled by statute and never officially overturned
@@taxirob2248 What can I say. Sort of proves my point about Stare Decisis, and people putting a lot of moral authority behind SCOTUS decisions. Every one loves it when their opinion is backed, and thinks it an outrage when it isn't. But AFAIK, no important case was really decided by legal principles, as opposed to political philosophy. Even now, when SCOTUS has made some rulings that are in accord to my legal theories!
Well. That's the product of having judges appointed by politicians. And having lifetime appointments, which removes any accountability.
Also, if Texas is ignoring US immigration policy by building walls and laying barbed wire along its southern border is illegal, then how are the policies of "sanctuary" cities to refuse to work with US immigration officials (that's what makes them a sanctuary after all) and less illegal?"
Double standard anyone?
Because
Difference between not voluntarily working with the government, and actively sabotaging it.
Like the difference between not answering a cop's questions (within your 1st amendment rights), and physically blocking and/or assaulting the cop to prevent them from going to a crime scene (not within your rights)
@@AssortedFernLogical
It comes down to jurisdiction. "Sanctuary Cities" basically work through how policing is handled in the USA. Local and state police forces are not obligated to help Federal police forces enforce federal laws. They can't interfere with federal enforcement of those laws. That's why ICE can still go into Sanctuary cities and arrest people who have broken federal immigration laws but local and states police can't be compelled to enforce federal laws. In other words, jurisdiction of the law works both ways; federal laws are both the right and the burden of the federal government (or vice versa for various jurisdictions of state and local), to which state and local aide them at their own privilege.
State or local police might help federal police enforce federal laws, but only if state or local authorities in power compel them to do so. This logic is more visible by the more obvious idea of you don't really see the FBI help local police investigate crimes because they aren't obliged to do so unless the crime is part of federal jurisdiction, as just one example.
In that same sense, what do you think happens if a city is a "sanctuary", and the feds piss off the locals? They won't get any help with much more serious crimes like federal warrant executions or investigations. In other words, immigration is a purely political issue and the fed police know it, its not worth the trouble, so they don't enforce the law because the law is fucked and gets in the way of actually warranted policing like hunting down murderers.
They don't care they're hypocrite if Mexico was full of white and was like a European country the gop is gonna be soft on illegal immigrants bit Mexico is full of Hispanic also look at how they treat they scream stare right and now the roe v wade is dead they want clamp down on pro abortion states the gop imo is wanna be authorian party their a reason why some people called them facist it not because some liberals like to say it
50% of comments: We aren't at war!
50% of comments: THIS IS IT FOR BIDEN!!! MAGA!!!
"We're not at war" was about the previous clickbait title of the video that has been modified now
youtube basically
Dude the "war" comments are about the previous clickbait title. We expect better from GTBTs so want him to hold a higher standard is all. Also, a large portion of the audience IS American and it isn't at all biased to say Biden is unpopular in America, he has horrid poll numbers, lower than even Trumps lowest numbers. That doesn't mean the comments are "rabid MAGA fanboys" or something like that, just literally the average member of the population is a person dissatisfied with Biden according to polling.
I just wanna start out by saying that I'm proud of our Governor, he's a true Texan, and I don't have any doubt that he's gonna do what he needs to get the job done. On another note I'm a proud Texan before I am an American citizen.
Subscribed! Great work
Let me start by saying that I have actually worked the southern border assisting Border Patrol. Specifically in California and very recently. I don't think people understand anything about this issue as they only see what their preferred media shows them. I should also say that Im much more moderate than most outside of a few things like education and healthcare (I just want universal healthcare like Europe has and an education system that is competitive with the top 10).
What we need at a minimum is more people at the border to help manage the people crossing it. BP is hiring, and it pays well enough. We also need more immigration lawyers and judges to deal with the process of deporting or figuring out if someone qualifies for refugee status.
I think we as a country need to decide if we want to be civil about this issue or if we want to close ourselves off from the rest of the worlds problems (which is technically impossible). We also have to decide what we want to do with the Mexican cartels which are the last leg of the network that smuggles people from all over the world. We also have to acknowledge that the majority of these people are coming from some tough places and short of shooting people on sight won't be deterred from crossing.. I mean they deal with the cartels already.
The US should be trying to support the governments in central America in creating more stability and safety.. maybe work with all of it's southern neighbors in resolving these issues.. perhaps the US should make inroads via economic incentives.
We should also deal with the employers who benefit from basically slave labor by hiring migrants and abusing them. This is one of the primary drivers from within the US. They also pressure out politicians from doing anything real to fix the problem.
Now what about walls? I've seen with my own eyes a dozen migrants climb over the primary wall and reach the secondary in about 60 seconds.. faster than BP agents can respond depending on how far away they are. The cartel has a well organized system that BP is constantly trying to stay ahead of.. more agents would help with this. Walls help but are not as effective as some people think. They slow people down, mostly the people who give up and are just looking for a better life here in the US not so much the bad guys which there are a lot of that know how to evade BP.. sometimes their luck runs out but for the most part they are Mexican citizens and get sent back to Mexico where the cartel can basically break them out of jail.. or the corrupt Mexican police/military doesn't really try that hard to fix anything.
The war on terror, all the money and effort put into stopping terrorism, that would pale in comparison to fixing this permanently. It would be messy because the cartel makes a lot of money from Americans buying drugs, and people paying to get into the country. I don't think people are really prepared to deal with this so soon after getting out of Afghanistan. And we don't know if this would make things better. Perhaps we're seeing the best of a bad situation right now.
Anyway y'all have a good day now.
You sir have the most common sense comment I have seen on this issue especially as I'm in Ireland and we're struggling to keep up with all the Refugees coming into the country and a rising far-right movement that is very much so violent and have also been the only ones destroying our country while they blame refugees and legal migrants etc they don't want to increase funding the same way as you have described in lawyers, asylum case officers etc they just want no "foreiners" (yes that's how most of them spell it) in Ireland and are in most cases associated with neo-nazis, Loyalist paramilitaries/terror groups and criminal records i.e drug dealing to kids, beating their partners (even pregnant), attacking dogs etc.
The Irish Government doesn't place national security and defence very high and we are seeing the results of this as some of the far right have called for smuggling firearms etc into Ireland and to "fight the state" they're also funded possibly by Putin the same with the far left groups but they're no where near as dangerous and violent for the moment.
But to me the Texas debacle for me as an outsider, seems like a political stunt to help Trump get re-elected and if he is I seriously doubt he'll give up power again.
Would an American Special Military Operation help? (Not invasion, but essentially working with Mexican and South American military to root out the cartels by force).
@@luigimrlgaming9484 Almost certainly not. Due to long lasting anti-American bias in the nations that are seeing the largest amount of people fleeing from any ASMO would be seen as an invasion and mass riots or even wars would break out. What America COULD do is to remove debts, increase trade deals, and provide intelligence and training to the nations involved to help stabilize them. One example would be to lift the trade embargo on Venezuela, the nation that is seeing the most people fleeing it.
We need to reward illegal immigrants that report companies hiring illegals with HEAFTY financial incentives. Give them 40,000-50,000 for reporting companies hiring them as immigrants. And fine the companies hundreds of thousands with jail time to pay for this. Easy fix
@@Arcboltkonrad13 This is Mexico we’re talking about, a relatively friendly nation and one we could cooperate with properly instead of invading.
Texas has a right to defend its own borders obviously...now should they also help the AZ and NM borders too!
It would be more efficient if the government did something about cartels and Latin American instability.
I'd leave Florida to support and live in the Republic of Texas.
American here, great video!
living in unpresented times in the U.S thats for sure. Im more than happy to watch a state do what the federal government has neglected to do for so long.
Is anyone aware of other channels that report on American policy from the outside? These videos are great!
TLDR here on CZcams is a British channel that covers mostly UK politics but also has commentary on global affairs, notably Europe and the US.
Outstanding Report!
Washington DC isn’t enforcing existing federal laws. Granting the state the right to enforce existing laws per the tenth amendment

Many states already have laws that contradict federal law in regards to recreational marijuana, why not with defense?
Marijuana being illegal at the federal level is one thing because it is a law whereas immigration and border security is covered by articles and sections of the Constitution. If Texas wants to be able to handle both of those then it needs to get a constitutional amendment passed first.

5:45 yea no joke that’s exactly the point
If Texas was not being dragged down by the United States we would have a much better standard of living here in Texas.
Then a state can legally secede if the other states consent. The supreme court said unilateral secession is illegal but it did say secession is possible if the other states agree. I reckon an amendment would have to be written then 3/4ths of the states would have to ratify it. If that happened the feds would have no say in it. They really should have set up 2 seperate countries in the beginning. We look at the union as a compact between states but people in the northeast see states as counties.
Anyone else read the declaration of Independence? I don't think the King said it was legal. 🤔
Union coercion theory, basically "we won, we still own you" on the federal level.
Just as horrific as the lost cause myth.
The barriers make it difficult for migrants to cross l... Really humanitarian organisations 😮😮😮
International law does states that countries have an obligation to migrants to respect, protect, and fulfill their human rights. Protecting human rights includes stop bad actors of tortured, collective expulsion, arbitrary detention, and protect human life. Texas is currently breaking multiple international laws.
@@samuelramsey5995The Problem with illegal Migration is, it doesnt solve problems. It just bringst the problems that led to Migration to their target destination. Thats why you have to entirely destroy any possibility for illegal Migration. The only way to ensure a save and clean process is by pushing legal Migration. Always remember, an honest person doesnt have to be afraid of a well structured legal migration. Everyone has to be afraid of uncontrolled illegal Migration.
Nobody forced them to cross a river under a buoy, into razor wire, and behind a wall @@samuelramsey5995

@@samuelramsey5995international law does not supersede national law. Im sure Texas would be happy to fly all the migrants to your neighborhood and "culturally enrich" it
The treaty that allowed Texas to join the US was nullified when they seceded in 1861. It was not renewed when they rejoined in 1865.
LOL. They rejoined under martial law at gun point. That’s coercion.
That’s not considered the will of the people.
@@williamcarr3976 No, it was as Rudy put it "trial by combat". They lost. If they had a problem with that they were free to leave the US, maybe go to Mexico and try to steal more land from them.
@@williamcarr3976 You snooze you lose
That treaty also does not allow them to secede, it allows Texas to, without Congressional approval, divide itself up into as many as 5 states which would immediately be states of the USA. That they can just secede is not only a myth but its perpetuation only causes harm.
@@Arcboltkonrad13 succeeding would only cause Texas harm
26 states stand with Texas let’s all break free from this madness we call the USA and make our own country.
Historian Barbara Fields had the most powerful observation when she said “The Civil War is. […] Regrettable it can still be lost.” Her full comments can be heard on the last episode of Ken Burns’ documentary series The Civil War, and reverberate today with even more immediacy.
If the people that fired on Fort Sumpter had known their decisions would lead to the slaughter of almost 1/4 of the southern male population of fighting age, that they would see their cities destroyed to ruins, their homes burned by vengeful armies, and unleash years of atrocities, famine, and ruin would they still have stayed on the same path. Having spoken for years and even counting people as friends from the political extremes I get the uncomfortable feeling that they would like to do their ancestors one better. To paraphrase Dickens, fear want and ignorance, but above all beware ignorance because upon it is writ what is doom.
Another click bait title. This has no comparison to the Civil War Secession.
Title is bad, texas life is normal 🇺🇸🤠
Excellent documentary
Great video.
I consider myself center left but that tactic of ferrying migrants to liberal states was a master stroke in politics 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Human trafficking lol. Taking vulnerable people to unsafe locations by lying to them, Lmao.
Those sanctuary states and cities said all were welcome. It's simply giving them what they asked for and helping Texas and Florida share the burden.
@@jacobjones630 Texas asked illegal immigrants where they wanted to go. Many picked sanctuary cities because their leaders made it known that illegal immigrants were welcome. Then Texas provided transportation to the illegal immigrants where they asked to go. All of a sudden a tiny fraction of a percent of what border states deal with became overwhelming for sanctuary cities to deal with and suddenly they no longer wanted to keep their arms open for more. Imagine if even 5% made their way immediately to the sanctuary cities. They'd collapse.
@@jacobjones630 I agree to an extent but they wanted to be in the states so by that measure all airlines and Ubers are traffickers
@@jacobjones630 "unsafe locations" even though they shipped them to "Sanctuary States" & "Sanctuary Cities" as according to the law since those few areas are the only places in the entire country where undocumented illegal immigrants are allowed and can not be arrested by state, county or city police for simply being here undocumented and the police can not or do not have to aid federal agents in apprehending then for simply being there undocumented.
It was probably the absolute safest places for them to be as a undocumented person, considering the sanctuary cities and states (like California) are the ONLY places in the country where state, city & county police can not arrest them for simply being undocumented, where as other states & cities can and can aid border patrol or ice to come get them.
Also, shipping them to Martha's Vineyard where the Obama's and ex Presidents live and is one of the richest wealthiest areas of the entire country is not exactly a "unsafe area". It's one of the safest areas of the entire country and happens to be open to allowing undocumented immigrants being there - unlike the vast majority of other states and cities.
crazy its getting to this point
Will we have to change the theme park to “7 Flags Magic Mountain”?
The last thing I want is for our country to dissolve, but given the chaos of the last 3 years and a complete lack of care for the security of our border by the Federal government, if Texas ever does secede I'll be there to defend her. I was born and raised here, and this is where I'll die. You'll never understand the intense pride and loyalty we have for our state unless you you're FROM Texas, not a transplant from another state.
If Texas secedes, there's definitely OTHER states who will follow suit.
That headline is precisely how an uninformed foreigner would characterize what's going on in the United States.
The genesis of the U.S., in a legal sense, can be broadly understood with three things: The Declaration of Independence, the Articles of Confederation, and the Constitution.
The Declaration of Independence was functionally a legal declaration of rebellion to start the American Revolutionary War. But the Articles of Confederation and the Constitution both can be seen as contracts the States entered into, forming a larger body called the United States as a result. The only reason we even have the Constitution is because the Articles of Confederation proved to be ineffective at establishing enough unity among the states to allow them to act as one body. So we scraped them and adopted the Constitution instead.
Its important to state clearly that no, Texas has zero legal standing to secede or to manage its own immigration policy. However that only stays true if Texas abides by our federations Constitutional contract, or Washington makes them abide by it.
So, if Texas disregards constitutional law on matters of immigration, does Washington use force and/or leverage to make Texas obey constituital law? If the answer is no, suddenly nothing is functionally stopping Texas from enforcing it's own immigration policy entirely independent of Washington.
Should that come to pass suddenly our entire federal system could come under question. I'm certain California, Florida, New England, and likely other states/regions as well would all be very interested to observing the wake of such a scenario.
@JorbyBlorby The American Declaration of 1776 is a joint statement of secession. Most of the “free and independent” states had already declared independence, considered themselves seceded, and had written constitutions (or modified their colonial charters) to put their secession into effect as self-governing political entities. The Revolutionary War began in April of 1775.
The “free and independent” states entered into a “compact” with the other free and independent states to form a union of states, which then organized a central authority to perform certain functions. The founding fathers and the framers of our constitutions were consistent in avoiding the term “contract” in favor of “compact” when referring to the union and their ratification of the constitutions.
There is nothing in the US Constitution of 1787 or any of its amendments that prohibits a state from seceding, and there is nothing in the Constitution that gives the central authority the power to stop a state from seceding. The 10th Amendment leaves the power of secession to the states.
In securing its border, Texas is not acting unconstitutionally and it is not violating US statutes, quite the contrary, it is Texas that is upholding US statutes, and it is the US executive branch that is refusing to enforce US statutes and constitutional obligations.
If Texas secedes, we won’t be the only state to do so; indeed, it is more likely that more states would secede than remain in the USA.
I will say the US isn't entitled to be eternal. I mean Rome fell, which lasted a 1000 years, the Holy Roman Empire fell, as did Alexander's Empire, Hitlers Germany and Napoleon France.
Why do Americans always see themselves as different in the long line of nations.
I hope mister trump would win this year, he brings so much fun and opportunities to the world stage

Maybe. I don't know, do things legally?
The governors of our border states have every right and total responsibility to protect American citizens in their states. When the federal government is failing to stop this invasion it is left to the communities and the states.
There's a very important question you don't ask or answer. What is a state supposed to do if the federal government breaks the immigration laws of our country?
@charlesmcgarraugh9595 What's your (legally-viable) answer?
@@crose7412 The states can enforce the immigration laws in their state.
@@ontheroadwithtex7991 Nobody asked you.
@@crose7412sounds like you got an answer you didn’t like and went toddler mode 😂😂
@@JR-eg8ir I didn't get any answer from the OP, you putz and neither did you.
It seems like you failed to discuss the possibilities available to the federal government to resolve the dispute by enforcing the current laws as aggressively as possible, as well as applying international pressure on Mexico to prevent migrants transiting their country from Central America and the Caribbean. You just basically ignored what is the motivation of the administration to not try to prevent this evolution. I heard Republicans mentioned a lot, but not Democrats.
Maybe because bending over for the state government is not realistic nor a good precedent to set. Besides, didn’t they offer an anti immigration bill?
Did you people really think you could just steal 2/3rds of a foreign nation, plant a flag, and call it your own without any consequences? 😂😂

At 2:15 you say in the 2000s but I think you meant to say early 2020s because you circle the years 2020 and onward
"This trend was only stopped by the pandemic." Not true. According to your own chart shown at 2:08, the number of border apprehensions fell drastically in the second half of 2019.
If you look at the chart, it almost always falls off in the second half of the year because of the onset of winter.
@@Arcboltkonrad13 If you look closely the steep drop started in late spring/early summer and continued all the way into winter of the following year before the pandemic lockdown, so that's not correct.
I'm pretty sure that if tons of "legal" Americans crossed the Canadian border (just as an hypothetical example) without documentation, Canada wouldn't just sit back and watch.
I feel like if America want to talk about immigration policies; it needs to talk about its failed drug war in central and South America.
Being a son of an immigrant (legal)
It’s disgusting how open of a secret it is in Mexico that the DEA and CIA are in bed with the cartels.
But that’s something we aren’t ready to address.
Nope.
These people are coming over here because this violence is spontaneous and not anything to do with America’s failed drug war. Nope, no sir.

People thinking Texas can leave the u.s is funny
There’s not many Texans that really want to leave. In general Texans love Texas but the 5-10% that want to leave are the loudest
If people in Texas have already left the Federal United States in their own minds, they've by that very fact left it because that's all it takes. The only reason a leader is a leader is because in the minds of those around him they consider him so. Once no one does, government paperwork claiming he is a leader is meaningless. It would take an authoritarian to bully everyone to see him as a leader again and we know that never works.
People thinking that Texas should shut up, sit down, and obey a country that loves destroying itself every chance is funny.
