Texas authorities have begun arresting illegal immigrants crossing the U.S.-Mexico border illegally in Eagle Pass, according to multiple reports.

This week, Texas Department of Public Safety Spokesman Chris Olivarez shared on X that illegal immigrants would be arrested going forward.

“Under the authority of Gov. @GregAbbott_TX’s Border Disaster Declaration, @TxDPS Troopers are arresting illegal immigrants for criminal trespass at #ShelbyPark in Eagle Pass,” he wrote. “Troopers are enforcing criminal trespass on single adult men & women. The State of #Texas will maintain a proactive posture in curbing illegal border crossings between the ports of entry.”

Yes, but it was a funnel. People have been coming because of stories of easy entry and “riches”. Stories like this will help discourage them. You have to start somewhere.

And honestly too late possibly. The last 2 elections were decided by under 6 million votes. There are probably 18 million illegals here now. If they vote at the traditional 2 to 1 for Dems that will likely permanently hand the WH to them, at least for decades to come.

I think there is a chance Biden may go for an executive order amnesty whenever he becomes a Lame Duck.

Texas should buy the land that abuts the Mexican border and extend the Texas castle doctrine to include trespass in the deadly force to protect property provision [9.42]. Problem solved.

Arrest them? and detain them in Texas jails with three hots and a cot at taxpayer expense? Isn't that what they want?

Yeah, Eagle Pass is merely a symbolic gesture. A finger in the dike that is running full stream.

Have no fear though xiden sees a problem that needs new laws to address and uncle fester is now concerned about the "300,000" illegals in NY.

Nothing short of an electrified double wire fence with concertina and land mines patrolled by troops with lots of ammo and SAW's plus towers with rotary guns will stem this tide. It has to be painful and lethal for this invasion to stop. After that nothing short of a major round-up and deportation will ease our pain and trouble.

Just who do they think they are?! A sovereign state or something?

Do they mean the huddled masses yearning to be free?

Plus future Dem voters, human traffickers, Chinese agents, Muslim terror sleeper cell operatives and violent drug gang members?

Folks in towns all over America are waiting to welcome them to their welfare budgets. Willing to work a second job to pay for the higher local and state taxes.

The last 2 elections were decided by under 6 million votes.

And just this past Friday, a judge was shown that the audit report she had kept from the public since 2020 was correct; a voting machine set up in the courtroom was used to show how easy it was to change a vote (using the State's attorney's pen). It implicates her and Raffensperger for certifying an unlawful election.

“If they vote at the traditional 2 to 1 for Dems that will likely permanently hand the WH to them, at least for decades to come.”

Exactly!

Demographics is destiny no matter how much the naive civic nationalists scream that it is not.

Personally, I am convinced Trump’s 2016 to 2020 presidency will be the last Republican presence ever in the white house.

As depressing as it is to most, I am convinced the country is already lost likely forever already.

The Far-left turd roller RATS have promised to cancel and tear down the Statue of Old Lady. What the hell are they waiting for? They didn’t waste any time disassembling Arlington Cememtery! The bastards.

I'm with you thinking this has gotten so far from responsible policy that we're awaiting the FIRST wave of internal terror attacks from the un-vetted legion of invaders the usurping regime allowed in. And these usurpers will blame Republicans (who haven't challenged to re-take power) of all the harm done with no worry for threat to their rule.

Because the game is to set up newbies with an overwhelming chemically-enabled then sexual scenario recorded for blackmail to insure compliance with the Democrat Party's agenda. That's how I see it and would definitely like to believe otherwise.

We have to either distrust the machines or insure they're trust-worthy. If there's no trust those people pushing the machines have to take their business to governments in less need of honest election results.

May they enjoy getting that great tan down there. Paper ballots work and always did, just faster.

National vote totals are meaningless.

If Trump picked up the right mix of 42,921. Votes in Arizona (10,457), Georgia (11,779), and Wisconsin (20,682), the Electoral College would have been tied at 269 all.

Abbott, Desantis and Biden have already shipped around at least that amount of illegals.

An executive order amnesty would be shot down by the present SCOTUS, but, I can guarantee that many of these illegals are being registered to illegally vote.

The Demonrats will use the 2020 playbook to "fortify" the election and put it on steroids.

It worked then and the GOP went along with it, as they will do again.

You may feel alone on your harsh border crackdown but you are not. I want to add A-10 strafing flights at totally random times to keep the cartels neutralized on the over-ground utilization of unfortunates to distract from their drug smuggling in other spots.

The news doesn't cover how much the cartels have bought and corrupted agents of our United States when and wherever they can where their financial interests are involved. I think the money the cartels have to throw around have already reduced most of our border area judicial systems to sad tragic jokes while anyone trying to defy it is quickly brought into line or "vanished"'.

All these villains and nary any heroes to be found. Ashamed no one is standing up and shouting about the vile regime who stole the the 2020 election are driving our nation to ruin as fast as possible while saying their opposition set that up. I'm willing, all old and broke down, just to end right. I guess I'm that person they've set the services to root out: a patriot intent on maintaining our Founders' intent of insuring liberty and it's principles overrule all attempts at tyranny and abuse of power for power's sake.

Republicans will still be able to win but they will be new republicans.

Essentially a copy of the Democratic Party, RINO you might say. I agree the conservative Republican party will be gone, defeated because Neocons when we had more power in the 80-90-1000s insisted it was all about the bottom dollar and wars. MeanWhile the Dems quietly took over the halls of education, media and Justice.

The party has already finally wandered so much I left it in 2021 after 35 years. I’m just an independent conservative at this point.
