Time for governors to exercise their 10th amendment rights.

 DEMOCRAT GOVERNORS HAVE BEEN IGNORING FEDERAL LAW FOR YEARS

REPUBLICAN GOVERNORS TURN TO PROTECT THEIR STATES

"THE POWERS NOT DELEGATED TO THE UNITED STATES BY THE CONSTITUTION, NOR PROHIBITED BY IT TO THE STATES, ARE RESERVED TO THE STATES RESPECTIVELY, OR TO THE PEOPLE"

This amendment was the great relief valve to insure that the elite bureaucracy in Washington did not become an oppressor to the people of the states. The Democrat governors have not been afraid to use this power to ignore immigration laws or Federal drug laws. It is time that Republican governors do the same by enacting and enforcing state laws that are in the best interest of their states.

We have seen Florida pass legislation to bar social media from discriminating against conservative speech. Texas has proposed finishing the border wall to protect the states citizens and property from being overwhelmed by uncontrolled immigration. It is their duty and right to protect their state when the federal government has not assumed responsibility for protecting the people of the country. 

States have also passed legislation to protect children from medical experimentation concerning gender manipulation. 

The federal government used the interstate commerce clause to impose many laws and regulations on the states.  They have also used withholding federal funding as a threat to insure submission by the states. It is time the states just stand up to these methods of extortion and do what is the best interest of the citizens of the states.

There is no reason that the states should allow the federal government to dump thousands of  illegal migrants in their states. Many of these persons will become a financial and social burden on the citizens of the states. Some states like California and New York are willing to accept unlimited immigration, so let them have them by busing them to nearest state with that philosophy.

The states are supposed to be the laboratory of freedom, democracy and opportunity. When some policy works, others can take notice. And when it doesn't, they can avoid making the same mistake. If we allow the states to represent their citizens, we will relieve much of the tension and division that we are now experiencing. 

We can lay much of the division in the country on inappropriate judicial and Washington overreach.

Under the Biden administration we can expect to see an intensified effort to control everyone and everything from Washington. 

The tenth amendment is clear, as is the constitution, that the federal government is given limited powers and those powers not specifically granted to the federal government are to remain with the states and the people. State governments need to re-examine the 10th amendment even if it means rejecting Federal funds in some areas.
