    Article 1, clause 10, section 3:

    No State shall, without the Consent of Congress, lay any Duty of Tonnage, keep Troops, or Ships of War in time of Peace, enter into any Agreement or Compact with another State, or with a foreign Power, or engage in War, unless actually invaded, or in such imminent Danger as will not admit of delay.

    Abbott is literally calling these migrants an invasion force, like an army or something, looking to overthrow the government. I think he’s stretching things there. Texas is not getting invaded, at least in the sense that the clause refers to.
