“Texas governor announces plans to build 80-acre base in Eagle Pass for up 1,800 National Guard troops”

“The Republican governor of Texas has been at odds with President Joe Biden over federal immigration policy and migrants crossing the US - Mexico border.

In 2021, Abbott announced the launch of Operation Lone Star, the state’s independent border security initiative, to fight illegal immigration in response to what Texas officials called “reckless open border policies” from the Biden administration.

Since then, tensions have mounted as state authorities placed razor wire along the countries’ border, hindered federal law enforcement’s access to areas of the border and continued to send migrants from the border to Democrat-controlled cities across the US.”

Sounds like a plan…..I wonder what Gov. Greg really has in mind.

My guess is he is planning to violate federal law, and land himself in federal prison.

The first misconception, that has been cleared-up (at least on this board) for a couple of months now, is that the vast majority are not "illegals". They are asylum-seekers, which is completely legal. Once they reach US soil, they have a right to request asylum. Period. If Abbott interferes with that, he is (probably) breaking the law as it is currently written. And this has been the law for decades, so you cannot blame Biden or Trump or Obama or even Bush Jr. At the minimum. Part of it goes all the way back to the Geneva Convention circa 1950.

Some are still "sneak across for work", but as we've discussed, the problem now is more asylum-seekers. Asylum-seekers don't hide from Border Patrol, they seek them out so they can request asylum. A large percentage never make it past the first interview, and are deported immediately. Of those who get a court date, 60% (per albaby) don't pass with the judge and are deported.
