Joe Biden is letting one of the largest illegal migrant caravans in history move into the U.S., with no effort to stop it.
Texas's governor, Greg Abbott, isn't.
According to a very interesting report by Todd Bensman of the Center for Immigration Studies, the record-sized 15,000-strong caravan has run into interference from the Texas governor and his counterpart in the adjacent Mexican state of Coahuila, who had the foresight to sign an agreement in April about border security. Bensman writes:
AUSTIN, Texas — When Mexico last week granted federal humanitarian travel permits to 15,000 U.S.-bound third-country migrants who’d formed the largest caravan in Mexican history, most planned to head straight to the border to cross illegally into the Texas towns of Del Rio and Eagle Pass.
But now those thousands of federal permit holders have collided with an unusual and wide-ranging Coahuila State police roadblock operation that is systematically halting buses carrying the migrants all over that state, detaining and deporting some, and thwarting federal government will.

P
God bless if this is accurate.
If this is true on Abbott’s part, BRAVO!..KUDOS!!!
I hope this is true
Good job Governor.
Time to open a pool in how badly he’s going to crush Beto. Recent poll says 20 pts. I’ll take 22 points
Love that election year action!
That tyrant Abbott is probably blocking single, unaccompanied, pregnant men just looking to have an anchor...something...bowel movement baby?
It’s accurate.
I remember when Abbott was getting this in place with all governors of the Mexican states which border Texas.
Wasn't that a Trump initiative he worked out with the Mexican President? Wanna bet Biteme and handlers will sue Texas for interfering with Fedov authority over immigration?
Thats a silly thing to say when something serous and effective is being done in conjunction with the governors of the Mexican states bordering Texas.
I know I should be grateful……and I am!
But couldn’t/shouldn’t he have done this all along!.?
Not only would Baja California would be a tourist and vacation boom for Americans, it would have also created a buffer between the U.S. and Mexico. Illegal immigration would be nearly non-existent, and we could easily have controlled the Rio Grande River.
Pardon me madam. I was mocking the MSM who will be attacking this move that is clearly the right thing to do except in leftist circles. I think we are on the same side of this action.
But the 8pmer last night said Abbott wasn’t doing anything.
Abbott’s only doing it ‘cause he’s up for re-election. He’s had years to kick ass, but rarely did. That only happened when he himself was in a precarious political situation.
Most people aren’t fooled. The end result is good, but “...the greatest treason is to do the right thing for the wrong reason”.
NOW-—Abbott needs to HIRE every single Border Patrol person who is working the portion of the border in Texas & hire them as TEXAS RANGERS who WILL protect the TEXAS Border.
I would be surprised if ANY BP agent turned him down.
So it will be 1,950,000 instead of an even 2 million this year?
Well, Madam, thank you for clarifying that. Yes, we’re on the same page.
