Timing is everything. This isnt just about the border. It is about showing the People that our Federal Government has gone rogue, that those governing are engaged in treasonous acts and finally putting to rest the question of Federalism vs States sovereignty. It had to be timed for this moment just as all the other movies are hitting Act 3.

I also would expect getting to this point would necessarily take a lengthy amount of time and intermittent steps before finally saying enough.... Just not 3 years of very little response (or few notable direct action steps) and now finally the full response we desired.

Great question, and one that applies to nearly every elected official in the country, one way or another.
