When a tornado hits, the Governor calls out the National Guard. When floods happen, the National Guard is called out. When riots hit, the Governor calls out the National Guard. In Texas, it was the National Guard that stopped the flow of Biden invited illegal aliens into that State. Other States also sent national Guard troops to help Texas.
Now the President wants to take the National Guard away from the States—and take control of them. In other words—no Guards to stop riots or the illegal alien invasion.
Citizens are not joining the military because it has become a WOKE force, not a fighting force. Now Biden wants to, in affect do away with the National Guards—after all, who trusts a demented man with their life?
“Texas Gov. Greg Abbott opposed a proposal that could shift members of the Air National Guard to roles in the Space Force without the consent of their respective governors.
In a letter to President Biden, Abbott, who has clashed with the commander in chief on a number of matters, said the proposal is an “intolerable threat” to the National Guard.
“That proposal would give the Secretary of the Air Force unilateral authority to transfer Air National Guard units to the Space Force — without first obtaining gubernatorial consent,” Abbott wrote in the May 3 letter.”
Literally Biden and the Democrats could use the National Guard to close down the State Legislature, round up citizens they do not like. This is the next step in the Totalitarian regime of Biden.
Texas Gov. Abbott calls National Guard, Space Force proposal a ‘power grab’
Abbott and other governors argue the proposal would weaken their authority and threaten operation readiness and efficiency

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott opposed a proposal that could shift members of the Air National Guard to roles in the Space Force without the consent of their respective governors.
In a letter to President Biden, Abbott, who has clashed with the commander in chief on a number of matters, said the proposal is an “intolerable threat” to the National Guard.
“That proposal would give the Secretary of the Air Force unilateral authority to transfer Air National Guard units to the Space Force — without first obtaining gubernatorial consent,” Abbott wrote in the May 3 letter.
On Monday, he called it a “power grab.”
The Republican governor argued the measure would sideline governors as the commanders in chief of the National Guard in each state and U.S. territory.
“By departing from this sensible arrangement, and allowing the Secretaries to dismantle National Guard units on a whim, Legislative Proposal 480 would set a dangerous precedent,” he added. “Members of the Texas National Guard must always stand ready to respond to natural disasters, civil disturbances, and cartel activity that threaten our way of life.”
Fox News Digital has reached out to the White House.
In April, Abbott and dozens of other governors wrote Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin calling for the discontinuation of LP480.
They argued it would weaken or limit their authority and threaten readiness and the efficiency of National Guard units.
