Eagle Pass is today's Fort Sumter. Biden must federalize the Texas National Guard.

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

48% : For good measure, the 34th president invoked the Insurrection Act of 1807 and called in the storied 101st Airborne Division to initially escort the trailblazing Black students.
41% : It felt like no coincidence that Abbott's tough talk came on the same day that his party's wannabe dictator, Donald Trump, won a commanding victory in the bellwether New Hampshire primary that all but ensured him the GOP nomination this summer in Milwaukee, ahead of a rematch with Biden.
28% : But four migrants trying to reach U.S. soil at or near the disputed park in Eagle Pass, Tex., have drowned under circumstances that are arguably linked to the dispute between the militaristic approach of the Texas National Guard and the comparatively humane, locked-out agents of President Joe Biden's administration.
21% : And if the 45th president does return as 47th, he would cite Biden's justified actions as an excuse for wildly unconstitutional uses of the Insurrection Act to crush political dissent with tanks and occupy cities run by Democrats.
15% : But Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell reportedly told a closed-door caucus that Trump has told his GOP allies to block any positive action at the border that might aid Biden.
14% : The young Honduran drowned in Greg Abbott's Texas had a name: Norlan Bayardo HerreraWith a rebel yell, Abbott doubled down on Wednesday in a letter that accused Biden as the one who is violating immigration law with his border policies, as America struggles to cope with a long-running surge in refugees who are mostly fleeing gang violence, political repression, poverty, or a climate-induced drought in Central America.
14% : If Biden is the one who backs down at Eagle Pass, then -- at the risk of paraphrasing Trump -- we won't have a country anymore.
