Biden needs to send the Army in and take over the Texas Border enforcement.
Army outranks the National Guard, especially the state ones. The POTUS absolutely also does have power to command any National Guard unit to stand down as well.
He legally can't. He is not able to unilaterally use the military as a domestic police force. This keeps the executive from using the military as their personal cudgel.
I agree with the strong arming via national guard though. I think there are some hoops, but there's absolutely plenty of precedent for a president taking command of a state's national guard (specifically in regard to border control as well).
He absolutely can send an army unit with Orders to enforce his orders to the Nat. Guard.
Not police force, but actually to patrol the border? Isn't that what they were set up to do? (Albeit to defend against state actors and not individuals)
nah man just open the border and hand them into the custody of amazon or walmart
That would be a step up from the meat packing plants, crop picking, and dishwashing they usually get.
Ironically, pretty close to what Texas wanted before being forced to do it themselves when the federal government did nothing about their complaints except denounce them for political points.
