"We all saw what happened on the Texas border last summer, but we need to understand that the problem is not going away," Texas Gov. Greg Abbott told CBS's "Face the Nation" with Bob Schieffer on Sunday.
"Already this calendar year, since January 1, we have had more than 20,000 people come across the border, apprehended, unauthorized. And so we have an ongoing problem on the border that Congress must step up and solve."
(All told in fiscal year 2014, U.S immigration officials removed 213,719 individuals apprehended while attempting to unlawfully enter the United States.)
Schieffer reminded Abbott that there are some 800,000 illegal aliens living in Texas right now. "You don't have enough buses to send them back to Mexico, and I don't expect you can put all of them in jail. What are you going to do with them?" he asked Abbott.
"Well, two things," the governor responded. "One is, the president himself said as these people were coming across the border that he would repatriate them as soon as possible. So, we need to see whether or not the president himself is going to live up to the commitment that he made."
Abbott said the second thing is to let Congress -- not the president -- decide how to deal with the millions of people who are in the United States illegally: "And so we need Congress to have the latitude to fulfill its responsibility to solve the problem."
Abbott said as governor, he has outlined a plan to secure the border: "I'm going to add more than 500 more Department of Public Safety officers, more Texas Rangers, more technology. We are coming out of our own pocket, Texas taxpayers' pockets, to secure the border and doing the job that the federal government must do.

There are people on both sides of the aisle that support illegal immigration. Both sides are guilty of maintaining a status quo for their own purposes that exploits human beings, causes great suffering, and puts those peoples’ lives ar risk.
When are the fags down at the UN going to do something about this abuse of the people by the Mexican government?
Why doesn’t Texas do something on their own?
If Obama isn’t going to adhere to court orders, then to hell with INS rules! Like what are the feds going to do?
Just give them the proper incentive to repatriate their own selves. Oh, is that too simple for them? /s
(Not you, Patriot. Them. You know who.)

First order of business is to plug the leak to keep the problem from growing. They are still using huge sums of taxpayer money to bus, house, feed, and clothe the illegals and bring them in. I have pretty good intel that the government is paying Mexican tourism companies to bring in several busloads a day. How many companies I don’t know for sure because their are multiple entrance points that are not guarded on the 1200 mile Southern border. I have been told that only approximately 1/10th of it is actually patrolled actively. One things is for certain; the illegals are still being brought over by our government; they are just being sneakier about it now.
If you don’t hear from me after this you’ll know why...: )
First do not let them touch Texas soil.
Stop them in the river or while they are still on Mexican soil.
But for sure it is not too late
If there were only some way to KEEP those invaders on their own side of the border!
Maybe it is time to get serious about a BORDER FENCE.
Governor Perry says he is against such a fence.
So I am against Perry.
.
If there were only some way to KEEP those invaders on their own side of the border!
There is a way to keep them there, we just have to have the WILL to do it and a fence is not a part of the equation.
Perry is no longer part of the decision making in Texas, thank God. However, he will never get my vote for President unless I have to hold my breath

Dear Senator
INS...Amnesty.. Forget about Ebola
We don’t allow cattle to enter without a background health and ancestry check which we also reqiure of legal immigrants who wait years and still go thru health and record checks. We also require that any legal immingrant demonstrate prior to entry that they offer a contribution to our society and not dependency upon it .
Yet we’re letting children and gang bangers in without doing any of this which has resulted in dispersing virulent new diseases (measles) and drug use which has resulted in unreported cases in schools where these illegal kids were placed.. Plus shoved a severe financial strain on local governments where they are placed .
Should any candidate for Attorney General supporting that practice be denied confirmation ?(Yes) (No) .
Should those given this bypassed favored treatment who miss their INS hearing be deported fortwith ? (Y) (N).. ? Denied re-entry (Y)(N) ? Also apply to those entering the country illegaly and have been convicted of a felony (Yes) (No)
In “countries where an American citizen decides to be a “legal” emigree never mind being a seasonal visitor still are denied voting privledges. Own land in their own name. Face steep fines before getting kicked out let alone denied income and energy subsistance including food stamps, or bring in family members .
I (do) (don’t) believe we should allow such full citizenship privledges mentioned above which are denied by the country of national origin of the above, to a legal American immigrant , deny such full citizen privledges to any (emigree) (seasonal vistor) (illegal) if their country does not allow those same privledges to any citizen of the United States, .
While such a position will be condemed as defacto deportation particularly by the political establishment .Would you continue to support a Senator who refuses to support such restrictions ? (Y) (N) Does that also include erecting border barriers such as fencing designed to discourage surrepticious or uncontolled entry ? (Yes) (No)

HISTORY REPEATS ISELF
With over 92 million Americans out of the work force, Obama open the gates to 15 millions new illegal immigrants.
We already have MEXIFORNIA and Obama is advancing the Mexican "Reconquista” of U.S. Very tough times are coming for Black America.
"Those who ignore history are damned to repeat it."
The KKK party against Blacks...Obama is taking out from the Blacks to give it to the illegal migrants.
REAL HOME OF RACISM IS THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY
ON THIS DAY IN 1965 – Angry Democrats with Billy Clubs & Dogs Attacked Selma Civil Rights Marchers
Gateway Pundit ^ | 03/07/2015 | staff
On this day in 1965, state police under the command of the Democrat Governor, George Wallace, attacked African-Americans who were demonstrating for voting rights in Selma, Alabama. The rampaging Democrats used billy clubs and tear gas and dogs in their “Bloody Sunday” assault.
A Republican-appointed federal judge, Frank Johnson, soon ruled in favor of the demonstrators, enabling them to complete their march two weeks later.
The epitome of the slavery party: West Virginia's Democratic United States Senator Robert C. Byrd was a recruiter for the Klan while in his 20s and 30s, rising to the title of Kleagle and Exalted Cyclops of his local chapter.
