They will not seek martyrdom and are crowd-wise enough to avoid the fray. Arrest a couple and it will fold.
They're all mouth, inspired by their own whining. Those jerks in that city park in Eagle Pass bother me more than these religious sheep. Mostly because they may actually have some sort of chain-of-command. Hell, they might even fire a round or two before they throw down their weapons and beg the Feds to let them just go home. Biden needs to push the issue legally as close as the law allows. There are a lot more people for peaceful and humane than for razor wire and breaking up families. It's not a vote-and-see thing. It's a law-and-order thing. Bottom line: Texas governors have already done more than their share of damage to democracy this century.
