Gov. Abbott Stands His Ground

If there is an actual war declared because "the south is in rebellion",our masters will cancel the election until after the war ends.

@mystery-ak

WTH is wrong with the Governors of NC,New Mexico,Arizona,and Kentucky??

I kinda understand why the yankees and the left-coast are leaving this alone,but not the southern states.

Kentucky has a Republican legislature, but the governor is a left wing idiot who basically bribed the teachers' union to attain his office.

This is starting to look like civil war isn't it?

Eagle Pass migrant processing facility is evacuated after threats to BURN it down were made by people who joined 'Take Back Our Border' trucker convoy
Daily Mail By Maryann Martinez 2/2/2024

•   Threats to burn down migrant center triggered evacuation of migrant holding center in Eagle Pass, Texas Thursday
•   Migrants moved to other detention centers in Lone Star State
•   Threats made as trucker convoy to protest Biden border policies expected to arrive in Eagle Pass Friday afternoon


A Border Patrol center for migrants in Eagle Pass, Texas was evacuated after threats to burn it down were made by people who joined the 'Take Back Our Border' trucker convoy to protest the Biden administration's border policies.

Up to 175 migrants were relocated to other holding centers in Texas on Thursday after law enforcement learned of the threats, sources confirmed to DailyMail.com.

The Border Patrol's version of SWAT units, BORTAC, and a separate mobile response team were activated to provide additional security, the sources added.

'As far as everyone knows, this is the first time something like this has happened,' said one Border Patrol agent, who spoke on condition of anonymity.

'Everyone keeps hearing they want to burn Firefly - that's what the threat was, so that's why they were moved,' the agent said.

US Customs and Border Protection, the parent agency of the Border Patrol confirmed the danger.

'Threats of violence against law enforcement personnel and migrants are unacceptable and CBP takes all threats very seriously,' a CBP spokesperson said.

'As such, we are taking appropriate and necessary actions to keep our employees and migrants in our custody safe. We will remain vigilant and continue to work closely with our law enforcement partners.'

Leftists are the arsonists, so yeah, that reeks.

When I was in High School, a friend went to a pot party (back when a joint would get you a couple years). He got a strange vibe, went to the can, out the window, and hitchhiked home.
When the badges came out in the party, it turns out everyone left had one.

Maybe the only way to fight that False Flag is to pull off someplace north and have a few burgers...and then meet up somewhere else. That way if the usual suspects start some crap in Eagle Pass, all the people there will be UC/CI/Feds, etc.

Republican Governors Warn of ‘Imminent Danger’ in Biden’s Open Border Policies

Texas Scorecard by  Sydnie Henry February 4, 2024

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott was joined by 13 other governors in Eagle Pass on Sunday.

EAGLE PASS—Texas Gov. Greg Abbott gathered with 13 other Republican governors to assert the states’ right to self-defense as President Joe Biden’s border crisis continues.

“Joe Biden does not need more legislative authority,” said Abbott, citing the laws already in place that Texas is attempting to follow. “He just needs a backbone to step up and do his job and secure the border.”

Shelby Park has long been a hotspot for illegal crossings, and since the state took it over and fortified it, crossings at the park have greatly lessened.

If Texas can do it, Abbott said the federal government most certainly can.

Abbott was joined by Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders, Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp, Idaho Gov. Brad Little, Indiana Gov. Eric Holcomb, Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds, Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry, Mississippi Gov. Tate Reeves, Missouri Gov. Mike Parson, Montana Gov. Greg  Gianforte, Nebraska Gov. Jim Pillen, New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu, Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee, and Utah Gov. Spencer Cox—all of whom have previously voiced support for Texas in its fight against the Biden administration.

“Our states’ are being invaded,” Gov. Gianforte echoed Abbott. 

“Joe Biden has completely failed at one of his most basic duties as president,” said Gov. Sanders.

“We don’t have time to wait till November,” added Abbott. “We’ve got lives on the line every single day.”

“Our declaration is a declaration of our rights under the United States Constitution,” said Abbott. “Article I, Section 10, Clause 3 guarantees the right of every state, as either invaded or in imminent danger—which we are in imminent danger—to be able to exercise self-defense. Texas will continue to exercise that self-defense and expand the area where we are using self-defense to make sure we are able to better protect our communities.”

Abbott said the number of people who have crossed illegally since Biden took office is equivalent to three times the 2.3 million population of Houston. December’s official numbers alone soared over 300,000—the highest month ever recorded.

And let's face it,due to DNC cheating and sore groupies like you,it's gonna be tough for Trump,or anyone else not supported by  "World Wide Government,Inc" to win.

So,I hope that you and the other "But..,...,but.....,he is RICH AND RUDE!" airheads enjoy yourselves at your "superiority dance classes",because if Trump is defeated you will suffer as much as everyone else,and if he wins,you still suffer BECAUSE he won.

Texas Stripped of Powers in Border Security Bill

Newsweek by Sean O'Driscoll 2/6/2024

Conservatives have attacked a provision of the new border security bill that would only allow legal challenges to be made in Washington D.C.

The bill would strip the power of Texas and other states to challenge some of the its provisions in their local federal court.

Conservative commentators were quick to denounce the provision, contained on page 221 of the bill. Bill Shipley, who was a federal prosecutor for over 20 years, decried the its court provisions on X, formerly Twitter, on Sunday.

"This would prevent plaintiffs - like the State of Texas - from filing suit in Texas federal courts. This is corrupt," he wrote.

After outlining the provisions under which immigrants can seek judicial review of a deportation order, the bill states:

"The United States District Court for the District of Columbia shall have sole and original jurisdiction to hear challenges, whether constitutional or otherwise, to the validity of this section or any written policy directive, written policy guideline, written procedure, or the implementation thereof."

Border crisis: Gov. Abbott to expand Operation Lone Star along border

Fox7 by Rudy Koski  2/7/2024

EAGLE PASS, Texas - The expansion of border enforcement is expected to target specific locations along the Rio Grande between official Ports of Entry. The promise of a ramp up by Gov. Greg Abbott came on Thursday afternoon at Shelby Park in Eagle Pass.

The site was seized by state officials last year after a series of migrant surges into Texas. The expansion plan comes after 14 governors, earlier this week, told Abbott they would send extra manpower to Texas.

"So, the next step is, working with the National Guard on plans as we speak right now, to expand the National Guard effort along the border region," Gov. Abbott said. "We're going to work on strategies to ensure the capabilities of the National Guard to add more soldiers, more resources, more capabilities, so they can be even more successful."

An enforcement ramp up is supported by State Rep. Ellen Troxclair.

"I think we have no choice," said the Lakeway Republican.

Any increase in enforcement is expected to be condemned by immigration advocates. Troxclair, who is a member of the Texas House Homeland Security Committee, believes the current border policy by the Biden Administration justifies a ramp up.

"We have the constitutional right as a state to secure our state," said Troxclair.

Nearly two dozen state lawmakers, including Rep. Troxclair, were invited to the governor's Thursday event in South Texas. She is not surprised a new enforcement plan will build on what’s been done at Shelby Park.

"The numbers are going down. It is working," Troxclair said. "So, I just think that we have to keep our foot on the gas, keep going, and keep putting up those roadblocks as much as possible for the cartels."

Five More States to Send National Guard to Texas Border

Texas Scorecard by  Luca Cacciatore February 12, 2024

The number of Republican states aiding Texas’ border security effort continues to swell.



Five more states led by Republican governors are preparing to deploy national guardsmen and other personnel to the Texas-Mexico border.

Texas Scorecard previously reported that Florida, Idaho, Ohio, Oklahoma, and North Dakota either had personnel in Texas at the border or were working to send some.

Now, after Texas Gov. Greg Abbott’s February 4 press conference that included 13 Republican governors in Eagle Pass, top officials in Iowa, Indiana, Louisiana, Utah, and Tennessee are also pledging to send troops to Texas.

Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee was the first to move, pledging during the border trip that his state was working on a timeline for additional aid to Texas’ multi-agency border security effort, known as Operation Lone Star.

WVLT-TV 8 reported that the newly pledged troops would constitute deployments of a second and third wave of Tennessee guardsmen. The first wave is expected to deploy to the border within 60 days.

“Tennessee will continue. We are the Volunteer State. We have had hundreds of troops on the border. We are prepared even today to send additional troops. We are working with the Texas Department of Military to do just that,” Lee said.

Speaking at a news conference in the Iowa State Capitol one day after returning, Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds said she informed Abbott that her state “stands ready” to send Iowa National Guard soldiers and Iowa State Patrol officers to Texas.

Texas Land Commissioner Buckingham to discuss state takeover of Fronton Island

FRONTON ISLAND, Texas (Nexstar) — Texas Land Commissioner Dawn Buckingham will head to McAllen on Monday to discuss the acquisition of Fronton Island, a stretch of land in the Rio Grande River where the state recently seized operational control.

Fronton Island is a 170-acre area in Starr County. According to the Texas Military Department, the island in the Rio Grande was “lawless” and was associated with high cartel activity and smuggling operations involving “narcotics, weapons, money and high-value individuals.”

The General Land Office worked with the TMD throughout the fall to assume control of Fronton Island after Buckingham granted permission for the Texas Department of Public Safety and Texas Rangers to police the area in September.

Law enforcement is clearing Fronton Island to halt criminal cartel activity.

Texas Rangers with the Department of Public Safety have planted a Texas Flag on Fronton Island in the Rio Grande River.

The 170-acre island situated in the Rio Grande River between Starr County and Mexico is a hot spot for cartel trafficking.

Three suspected cartel members armed with rifles were documented crossing Fronton Island in August.

Two of the three men were later arrested by DPS.

In September, Texas Land Commissioner Dawn Buckingham authorized DPS policing and patrolling on the state-owned island.

Buckingham told Fox News, “Law enforcement has found some ammunition, suspicious devices on it. And we just feel like with the border crisis, it was really important to ensure that Texas law enforcement have access to these islands, so we can help secure our border.”

“While the federal government refuses to safeguard Texas communities, the General Land Office will step up and assist our state in its robust border security efforts,” said Buckingham.
