Texas troopers credited with retaking control of Del Rio border
The Washington Examiner ^ | 20 September 2021 | Anna Giaritelli, Homeland Security Reporter

Posted on 09/20/2021 7:16:16 PM PDT by blueplum

DEL RIO, Texas — State troopers deployed to the border by Gov. Greg Abbott are being credited for doing the federal government’s job and stopping thousands more migrants in Mexico from illegally crossing into the United States after well over 15,000 made it through here late last week.

A swarm of Texas Department of Public Safety officers, known as troopers, descended on the riverbank Saturday afternoon as a show of force to deter people in Mexico from wading across the Rio Grande. Approximately 150 black SUVs were still lined up Sunday afternoon on the dirt road that runs parallel with the river....

The thousands of police and military near the bridge are also bracing for a worst-case scenario as tensions build in the camp....“This, believe it or not, is somewhat under control — frankly, only because the crowd’s allowing it,” Anfinsen said. “I mean, if they wanted to make an issue of it, they could. What are we going to do?”

I understand that Sgt. Preston of the RCMP now wears a dress.

I think Abbott should line up charter busses to take those ‘being released in the US’ directly to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave, Washington D.C. to be released there.

If we dropped 15000 people on the front porch, maybe we could get some attention. We shouldn’t need to call anybody, just do it.

Let the border States enforce the law, they’re a lot closer to the problem.

“Could have sent just one Texas Ranger...”

There was a saying something like, “One riot, one ranger”. I love those guys.

How long until Biden orders the national guard to stop Texas from enforcing the border?

In what is probably a perfectly obvious and possibly stupid question: Why is it that such an easy crossing HAS NO FRIGGIN” WALL!?

Of all the obvious places to increase security why not this one? Just about anywhere along the Rio Grande can be waded or easily crossed. It isn’t like it is a moat or full of Piranhas or anything.

If someone had the guts to start gunning them down it would not take long before the whole affair would end.

What would be wrong with it? They are all invaders after all.

A wall would have stopped them. Maybe Biden will come up with that idea.

“Why is it that such an easy crossing HAS NO FRIGGIN” WALL!?”

Because the REPUBLICAN party, which controlled the House and Senate the first two years of Trump’s presidency, refused to fund and support him in that effort. They were more interested in threatening him and supporting Mueller and the Russia fraud.

That there is Texas. No need to waste good brass. A few thousand penned long horns would make a mighty fine deterrent.

Now, California, we don’t have any longhorns. No bison except in a park. Not many sheep even. We’re screwed. So hopefully Texas will keep distracting them.

Only leftists can attack people for actually doing their jobs and get away with it. Most government agencies are now being perverted towards leftism as Democrats are fundamentally changing the USA via their latest risky schemes. I watched a video on Biden being blasted creating a border crisis then vacationing as it explodes, and you can check it out top of page at Whatfinger News in crawler link. That was the result Joe was hoping for as the left push their invasion to ultimately replace us. If those Haitians wore uniforms and carried guns I doubt the left would change their tune at all. They are demented.
