Yeah you have. It's the same message about the borders as it's been for decades.

On Friday’s broadcast of “Tucker Carlson Tonight,” Uvalde, TX Mayor Don McLaughlin said that the border is “a madhouse” and that things would be better if the border had the same fencing as the U.S. Capitol. McLaughlin also stated that “we haven’t heard from the administration yet.”
McLaughlin said, “Well, it’s kind of like the wild, wild west down there. We have car chases on a daily basis. We have immigrants jumping off of trains.”
He added, “The southern border is not under control. It’s a madhouse. If — maybe if they gave us the same opportunities they had up there in Washington with that great big fence with that razor wire and would do that along our southern border, maybe we could get a little peace and quiet.”
McLaughlin further stated, “And we haven’t heard from the administration yet. And we keep telling them, and, like I said, it’s very frustrating when you hear them say that oh, the Biden administration has the southern border under control. Far from it. They need to go ahead and build this wall, put it back in place, and let’s close our border and make it come across the right way.”

Mayor McLaughlin has it exactly right. IMHO, the original error was made by Biden’s handlers. They were in such a rush to get rid of President Trump’s magnificent wall that they overdid the invite for criminal invaders to surge the wall.
Hugh mistake and they are still paying for it and will continue to pay into the future.
The Mayor can start building the wall if his city is along the border. Why doesn’t Texas continue work on the wall or send the National Guard.
I hear all this complaining but nothing done except complaining to Washington and making a big show of it.
Uvalde isn’t on the border
Yeah you have. It's the same message about the borders as it's been for decades.
All we do is complain. The other side never stops doing.
It has to do with land ownership on if TX could build a wall on the border.
For example, TX could build on private land or state land without needing fed approval. To build on private land, TX would need an easement via a friendly purchase, eminent domain or donation. I don’t think that a TX built wall could physically connect to a fed built wall without fed approval.
The primary way feds could effectively halt any TX wall construction would be via the EPA. The feds were able to waive many if not all federal environmental related road blocks and I doubt TX could do the same.
You should realize that the border is a federally controlled.
NO state would be allowed to put their own border
Respect for the law is gone.
What Yahoo and CNN and the alphabetical swill mills won’t report on is this; Mexican Senator says Mexico should take back states;

In the hundreds of postings here in Free Republic rarely is this brought up. It’s Known As Reciprocity. We should be treating anybody illegally crossing the Mexican border into the US the way the Mexican’s do to any American illegally .crossing into Mexico. No” free” lawyer is paid by Mexican taxpayers. Entry denied heavy fine and possible imprisonment. before getting kicked out.
When allowing the hordes illegally entering the US through the Mexican border avoids recognizing and dealing with the 2nd class treatment that American citizens get which is in their constitition while legally residing in Mexico.That not just include denial of voting privileges but employment, and land ownership in their name.
Worse yet All when given to illegals and property ownership by them is used in states which Mexico has previously claimed espcially Arizona, Utah, New Mexico, Colorado and of course California .That could be used to support any reclaiming effort should regime changes in Mexico arise . Our border with Mexico has always been contentious not only with smugglers but on ocassion with Mexican bandits and military.,Allowing potential hostiles to the US property ownership to happen in those states could lead to serious problems in the future.
.It’s time we consider illegal entry by any person who is a non Mexican citizen illegally entering the United States through the US Mexican border a defacto Mexican citizen with limited Mexican constitutional rights subject to their laws while transiting. As well as any Mexican citizen entering illegally exempting those who do so legally and meet US citizenship requirements.
What never gets mentioned is that 2nd class treatment Americans get in Mexico in all of this. If we applied that reciprocal policy . Would that continue ? By.prohibiting and strictly enforcing existing laws prohibiting any illegal entrant employment, voting, and land ownership privileges fully enforced these problems would drop loke a rock. .In other words Once we remove the incentives to Sneak into this country before expulsion no job no voting no landowning this stuff would stop.
Thanks. I went and had a look on the map after posting. I see that.
See, there you go. More excuses...and in they come.
It is a fact and you know it
That does not change the result. The only thing that changes the result when the "facts" (rules) don't allow it is to not play by the rules.
...Unless you think lobbying Washington, DC will change something.
What exactly would you do.
Send the National Guard to the Border along with experts in border interdiction with the objective to stop those crossing into the country that have ill intent.
Before that, assess the situation to determine what could and could not be done effectively, what could and could not be accomplished.
With no mention of the effort, no press conferences, etc.
A state can not contradict the feds on Fed property
IF we could we would have
Ohio Representative Jim Jordan appears with Maria Bartiromo to discuss his visit to the U.S-Mexico border and what he personally witnessed. Jim Jordan outlines how the JoeBama administration is blocking people from documenting the scale of the crisis and concludes the resulting influx is exactly what the administration wants.
Rep. Jordan on media's limited access to migrant facilities amid surge at border
ANALYSIS – Many people (conservative media and politicians specifically) are misinterpreting the removal of the Biden administration’s Southern Border coordinator, Roberta Jacobson, from office. Jacobson was not removed from her position for being ineffective, her removal was announced because her goal was successfully accomplished. [It is frustrating to read THIS STUFF]
Let me be clear… Roberta Jacobson was put into position in January by those in control of the Biden administration specifically to coordinate this mass migration influx. Her mission was to create the crisis, not to prevent it. She was put into place to trigger the mass migration. How do we know this?….
When Roberta Jacobson was Ambassador to Mexico she was working against the policy of the Trump administration. She was running a covert effort to pipeline Central American immigrants through Mexico into the United States. Yes, Roberta Jacobson was part of the trafficking network; that is why she was removed from her position in March 2018… President Trump found out Roberta Jacobson was working with far-left immigration groups against his administration.
When Trump eventually found out what Jacobson was doing in Mexico, he quickly dispatched Jared Kushner to meet with Mexican officials and outline that Jacobson did not represent President Trump and she was fired. [Remember, this was before AMLO was elected]
FLASHBACK MARCH 2018 – Jared Kushner was in Mexico Wednesday to repair relations with the United States’ southern neighbor and key trading partner after a tense phone call between Presidents Donald Trump and Enrique Pena Nieto ended recently with the Mexican leader’s canceling a planned visit to America.
But Kushner, Trump’s senior adviser and son-in-law who had no government or diplomatic experience before taking office … has been criticized for not including the outgoing U.S. ambassador in his meetings.
[…] After Wednesday’s meetings, however, it appeared there had been little progress in rescheduling. Mexican officials say both sides agreed that a future meeting will depend on how much progress is made on other issues, including NAFTA, migration, economic cooperation, and security, which would include Trump’s proposal for a border wall.
[…] U.S. Ambassador Roberta Jacobson, a 30-year veteran of U.S.-Latin America policy and top diplomat who has announced her resignation, was not in either of Kushner’s meetings with Videgaray or Pena Nieto, according to a statement and photos released by the Mexican government. She was also not even invited, according to The New York Times. .. (read more)
It must be remembered the spring of 2018 was when President Trump was pushing forward with the USMCA trade agreement to replace NAFTA and the former Mexican government was pushing back hard against it. President Trump announced he would initiate economic leverage against Mexico including tariffs if they did not comply with closing the NAFTA loopholes and supporting a new trade deal.
Videgaray and Nieto were fighting against President Trump and making threats to flood the U.S. with illegal aliens. In the background Ambassador Jacobson was working as an inside agent to assist Mexico against President Trump. Part of that effort by Ms. Jacobson was to organize and trigger the migrant caravan wave that happened in the fall of 2018.
The migrant caravan held a dual purpose of benefit for Ambassador Jacobson and the Mexican government:
In response, Mexican Economic Minister Ildefonso Guajardo threatened to flood the U.S. with South American illegal aliens, criminals and gang members as leverage:
MEXICO CITY (Reuters) – Mexico could pull back on cooperation in migration and security matters if the United States walks away from talks to renegotiate the North American Free Trade Agreement, the Mexican economy minister said in a newspaper report published on Thursday.
“If they do not treat [us] well commercially, they should not expect us to treat them well by containing the migration that comes from other regions of the world and crosses Mexico,” Guajardo said. “Or they should not expect to be treated well in collaboration with security issues in the region.” (LINK)
However, Mexican Minister Ildefonso Guarjardo’s threat was mild compared to a threat in January 2017, when another Mexican official promised to flood the U.S. with South American drugs and gang violence:
Watch, and more importantly LISTEN, to his words at 02:10 below (Prompted):
Trump's First Week: Mexican Relations / Fareed Zakaria GPS / CNN / Jan 29, 2017
This was the most politically explosive admission by the Mexican government in the past decade. Even Fareed Zakaria realized what was being threatened and quickly attempted to redirect the conversation.
Mr. Castaneda was openly admitting a willingness to promote drug trafficking. Additionally, Jorge Castaneda is so proud of the threat, he posted a video of the discussion on his own YouTube page.
Referrenced Tweet
This was the background battle in 2017. Mexican officials were working with U.S. State Department officials and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce to block President Trump from enforcing immigration limits, border security, building a wall and then proceeding to get rid of NAFTA. The entire diplomatic corps, and Wall Street group which finds them, were trying to stop President Trump’s initiative.
Trump was waging this economic confrontation against Mexico at the same time he was dealing with North Korea nukes, moving trade policy in Southeast Asia, initiating tariffs against China and coordinating energy independence with peace in the middle-east. There was so much going on that almost no-one was paying attention to the issues in Mexico…. UNTIL the fall of 2018 when the Central American caravans hit the headlines.
Roberta Jacobson had coordinated the caravans and was fired by Trump in the spring of 2018. So when Biden hired Jacobson to be the border coordinator in January 2021 for 100 days (note the timeline was not accidental) she was installed specifically to trigger this massive influx of illegal aliens; which is an exact duplication of what she did in 2018 as Ambassador to Mexico.
Jacobson was always going to leave the administration after her successful mission. It was planned this way. The only reason she is leaving a little earlier is because she accomplished her task ahead of schedule. She is leaving early because she did better than JoeBama expected.
Hopefully that clears up the confusion.
Thanks for that info.
Says the rules...that are being broken by the other side at every turn. A state can do it.
Carrying this a little further (you might be able to convince me), what would be the first thing that would happen if a State positioned its National Guard at the border?
Liberal news hyperventilation is predictable so lets not include that.
