According to Abbott, those arrested in this manner could spend anywhere from six months to a year in jail.
“More tax money right,” El Pasoan Daniel Ravas said. “So, I mean you're either putting it on Border Patrol salaries and getting more people on the border trying to take that preventative action, or you're just reacting to people coming over the border and then warehousing them for six months.”

A few months in jail is nothing compared to the cost of generations of government freebies.
” Plan to arrest migrants crossing into Texas illegally for trespassing would cost taxpayers”
So I guess if you just let them waltz across the border and then be on their way doesn’t cost taxpayers anything??????
How about all the welfare they get?
Arrest trespassers? 😂😂😂😂😂
But that was not what Biden wanted.
Ahh, yes...the Tierra del Fuego solution. I used to advocate that many years ago!
Prosecuting bank robbers also costs more than the couple hundred they might have stolen
but letting them just roll through is not costing anything?
What is Abbott blabbing about?
Taxpayer money?
We paid 6 million dollars a year every year for Michelle Obama to travel with her family. We’re up to 30 trillion dollars in debt
This guy can join Ken Paxton, Ron DeSantis, Rudy and SKB and actually DO something
They should all immediately be sent back to Mexico City. If Mexico doesn’t accept them we close the border.
Mexico would fix the problem for us, under those conditions.
The benefit is that we’d at least know who these people are. Even if they can’t be held too long and even if there’s a cost to taxpayers, each of the people arrested can be identified and vetted for criminal background and disease.
Ideally, the Federal government would do its job and secure the border. Failing that, it would be nice to have the states picking up some slack and figuring out whether each person crossing illegally is someone working on a farm seasonally, a drug trafficker, a family fleeing political violence, a murderer fleeing police, etc. All illegal immigration should be stopped, but at an absolute minimum, we should know exactly who is coming in and vet every one of them. This plan provides a path to do that.
“...A few months in jail is nothing compared to the cost of generations of government freebies...”
THAT’S the nagging fact that everyone ignores!
We should also immediately place a 50% tax on all funds sent to Mexico by all the people that are living here, collecting welfare, while working under the books.
These f**king Mexican parasites have been costing We The People BILLIONS in taxes for years. And all the while getting free health care, free education , Section 8 housing, Food Stamps, Social Security and at the same time pulling $ 22 billion a year out of this nations economy and sending back to Mexico.
And they have the unmitigated GALL to call us ‘’racists’’.
I will NEVER forget mMy 1, 2006 when thousands of these bastards marched in the streets in cities across America waving their damned buzzard rag of a flag and yelling “Si Se Puede!* “Yes We Can!’’.
I despise Mexico and Mexicans. They hate us. They’re taught at an early that the American Southwest was all theirs and we stole and they’re taught to take it back.
F them.
I kind of like the idea of dropping them in Tierra del Fuego...
“Plan to arrest migrants crossing into Texas illegally for trespassing would cost taxpayers”
*Everything* the government does costs taxpayers, because that’s where they get their money. The article somehow neglects to mention this.
Bring back the chain-gangs ... any IA over 16 years old gets one year at hard, back-breaking labor and then sent back South. If caught in the USA again, they do two years and then get sent back South. If caught a third time, hang ‘em from the Trump wall and leave the carcass for the buzzards.
It won’t take long for the message to filter down to even the lowest IQ that you need to start your American experience at the USA embassy.
Nothing will change unless the consequences are severe.
Outsource them to a prison in India.
Governor of Texas should enact a “toll” for every axle on a vehicle of $1 that crosses the border into our state from Mexico and add a $1 per ticket fee for each airline passenger that comes into any airport from non-US country.
Figure out the cost of the illegals and keep increasing it till we’re even.
The immigrants should be taken to the border and released with a map back to Mexico. They should be made to turn immediately back over the border when they are apprehended... don’t bring them in...just plop them in a truck, boat or walk themselves right back over the border... wave to them and say “good by” .....
If they decide they want to cross, hold them, lease about 200 busses and take them out I-10 exit Hwy 67 and take them ALL to Presidio Texas and dump them off facing the Mexican border. Run it 24/7/365... and each person adds to the cost of the toll to enter from Mexico. Any vehicle made, and product imported will have a fee of $1 from a screw, bold, car part, wheel, Tequila, Dos Equis or whatever... everything gets the $1 dollar charge.
But nobody has the balls to actually solve this problem.
Any and all illegals should be put on busses, given one MRE, one bottle of water and a free ride to Presidio texas.
Exactly
If it deters even a few from coming it’ll save taxpayers a lot more than the cost of jailing them. In the long run it’ll cost far, far less than letting them go.
And of course, paying them welfare, medical assistance, tuition, etc, etc, etc, costs nothing.
Such goes media “logic”.
We could perhaps save bucks by shipping all of the *sshat media to Mexico. At least the immigrants are capable of doing useful work.
Smarter, too.
