What can Biden do if Texas refuses to heed his warning?

Looks like this is escalating, and Biden is certainly a stupid fool...so there is every likelihood that he will do something stupid.

BUT...let's balance that with the fact that this is an election year, and Biden can't afford to look like a bully against his own people...who are struggling to combat the southern invasion on their own.

@4meAndyou But, according to Biden there is no southern invasion. If he does nothing he will look weak to his base in an election year. If he does something Trump will use it against him. But, the media can spin it that Texas is Trump supporters that need to be rounded up for reeducation and others charged with insurrection and domestic terrorism. This would give him a huge shot in the arm for reelection.

@Musicman He can't spin actions taken against Texas. It will destroy his campaign.

@4meAndyou He could call them Trumpists, insurrectionists, even traitors for ignoring him and the court. The left would fall right in line with that.

@Musicman Well, name calling is not action. As long as he confines it to name calling, we can tolerate that.

@4meAndyou Yes, but it could easily go beyond that telling the nation that no one is above the law. Then send in the FBI or the Army to remove the wire and arrest anyone who gets in the way. Charging them with insurrection.

@Musicman Once again...I reiterate...this is an election year. If Biden takes ANY kind of direct action down there, he will discover the massive numbers of people who are ANGRY about the, (also massive). numbers of illegal immigrants being allowed in to suck our life's blood.

@4meAndyou Maybe. It's possible. I personally can see it going either way.
