Two invaders breaching security measures.
Blame Mexico not Texas.
Why is Abbott playing the denial game? He should be saying, ‘Damn straight. We put it there to stop people from invading our country by swimming across the river. Attempt at your own risk. These two guys did, and it didn’t end well.’
Quit apologizing for doing the right thing. Geez.
And if it were true, so what? Do nations have a right to physically secure their borders from entry? Yes. If a country does what they have a right to do, and someone chooses to take the risk and accidentally dies, that was their choice. You can’t say the US doesn’t have the right to secure the border because some random non-US-citizen in Mexico wants illegal free entry. Well, you can SAY it, but you’re full of obvious crap if you do.
To me, it would be easy for the cartels to murder some “migrants” and dump them in the river upstream. Odds are that one would get ensnared by buoys. Then, show pictures on social media to Karens and watch the reaction.
If I were governor I would tell DC that we don’t want any of your funding for anything. Here in TX we live by the US Constitution and the Texas State Constitution.
Since we are not taking your money we are also rejecting any of your rules and policies that our state supreme court decides are unconstitutional.
We will not aid or assist any Federal body attempting to apply unconstitutional force or charges against the citizens of Texas.
We will patrol and keep our own border and we will protect our sovereignty by whatever means We The People of Texas deem reasonable and necessary.
If you don’t like that, well, that’s your right, but we don’t want to hear about it.
No surprise here. Mexico has become the Southern Branch of the Democratic party.
