Texas Gov. Greg Abbott is closing entry points at the Mexican border so the state won’t be overrun as reports show thousands of illegal immigrants amassing under a bridge ​waiting to be arrested by Border Patrol agents.

The number of migrants waiting under the International Bridge in Del Rio, Texas, doubled overnight to more than 8,200 people, Fox News reported, showing drone footage of the massive gathering.

​​”The sheer negligence of the Biden Administration to do their job and secure the border is appalling. I have directed the Department of Public Safety and the Texas National Guard to surge personnel and vehicles to shut down six points of entry along the southern border to stop these caravans from overrunning the state​,” Abbott, a Republican, said in a statement on Thursday.

They need to start arresting feds letting these invaders in.

At this point, I wouldn’t give a damn if we set up machine guns, land mines and claymores along the border.

So is there ferry service from Haiti to the US? How in the hell are these people getting here?

IMO Abbot’s re-election chances are directly proportional to how he handles this. It is time for Texas to tell the federal government to pound sand……to hell with the “laws”, nobody else is following them, why should Texas?

They’re flying to Haiti.
