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

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?”

We are literally not a country unless we have borders that we protect.

They not only hate us, they are replacing us via importation of the third world while tricking people into mystery shots that are meant to damage us.

There was a lot of wall built in other places. Why not there? There was money for a lot of other wall.

Nah, thats too nice. A little siege warfare would discourage others alo.. its a cruel way to go. Cut all cell signals and stop all aid. Even aid to the women and children. The bullets are not for those, the bullets are for those who encourage, partipated in or even let them hitch a ride. A weed will only die if you get to the root.

Was anyone on that Sunday morning show with Cardin aware that many of the Haitians under that bridge in Del Rio have been living in South America for several years? I guess they don’t bother to watch any of the people reporting directly from Del Rio. Reportedly these Haitians had sold everything they had to get money for the transportation and the cartels to get them across. That would be actually news instead of leftist blah blah blah from Cardin.

Their main objective accomplished.

Despite it being the responsibility of Customs and Border Protection to patrol the nation’s borders, virtually all agents have been pulled from the field to transport migrants to and from holding facilities and then process and care for them once in custody.

There were far more places that needed wall than money for. The Republican party only gave him a fraction of the funding he needed for it and NO political support. He had to tap into DOD funds and fight to use that. If it would have been built at that spot, there would be 20 other spots the Haitian flood would have shifted to.

The reason there is no wall there is “G-O-P”
