The Biden Presidency is in full swing and the border lies, in the eyes of many conservatives shocked by the tidal wave of humanity flowing across it, nearly undefended. Hundreds of thousands of migrants flow across the border a month, sometimes more than ten thousand a day, and there seems little chance that the policy, much less the consequences for America of it, will be fixed any time soon. As a result, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene is suggesting states consider secession.
Rep. Greene made that suggestion in a post on (formerly Twitter) in which she said that states frustrated by the Biden Administration’s handling of the border and which understand the dire consequences of mass migration should consider secession a viable alternative to putting up with the current situation any longer.
“If the Biden admin refuses to stop the invasion of cartel led human and drug trafficking into our country, states should consider seceding from the union. From Texas to New York City to every town in America, we are drowning from Biden’s traitorous America last border policies,” she said.

Rep. Greene has made similar comments before. In February of 2023, for example, she said, “We need a national divorce. We need to separate by red states and blue states and shrink the federal government. Everyone I talk to says this. From the sick and disgusting woke culture issues shoved down our throats to the Democrat’s traitorous America Last policies, we are done.”
Predictably, the usual suspects howled with fury with her tweets about secession and national divorce. Her recent one led to claims of her having violated Section 3 of the 14th Amendment by expressing thoughts on the issue, among the other sorts of “treason” comments typical from the left.
Her more widely shared tweet about national divorce in February led to an outpouring of hate from not just the left but also RINOs. Governor Cox of Utah, one of the governors who refused to stand up for women in his state against the trans lobby, for example, said, “This rhetoric is destructive and wrong and—honestly—evil. We don’t need a divorce, we need marriage counseling. And we need elected leaders that don’t profit by tearing us apart. We can disagree without hate. Healthy conflict was critical to our nation’s founding and survival.”
Average people on the right, however, had much more to agree about with green than Cox and his ilk or the leftists accusing her of treason. For example, one commenter who replied to Gov. Cox said, “MGT might be correct though I hate divisiveness as much as anyone but look around. Grooming kids, BLM riots, and the disagreement on everything from 1A to 2A to school choice. It is irreconcilable.”
Agreeing, another said, “The way I see it, no one could even run a small business with this kind of division, let a lone a company. If half the company wanted to do one thing, and the other half always the opposite, just make two diff companies.“
