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.

Where do these thousands of people get food, go to the bathroom, sleep, etc. Money must be coming in from somewhere.
When the message gets back home that people are giving hard money to the cartels and then being stopped before they can enter the US, people will stop coming through that method into Texas.
that the first colored woman VP failed to do.
Lol You’re right. She is as worthless as they come.
Good post. You make a good point.

Good question.
OK, GREAT. Want a list of my makeup products? :)
My opinion is that we have to mock, embarrass and shame the left into inaction or the only fork in the road is a choice between civil war or a gulag like Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn describes in "The Gulag Archipelago". My preference is to shame the left into silence rather than either of the other two paths that would be inevitable. I support Abbott's move, but if Brandon pushes back it will likely be with Garland and "FIB" SWAT teams. Maybe it comes to that. I don't know. But I don't think Abbott has the backbone to fight back to the extent that the FIB would do.
Who owns all of these buses, by the way? Shame if they were damaged in some way...
We’ll see how it goes.
I say the County Sheriffs along the border should deputize qualified people and turn them back at the border.
Good news...
However, their votes will still be counted in 2024...
Maybe even in 2022...
I don't have any doubt that could happen.
But the thing to realize is that this illegal immigration has a globalist elite and a US government leftist backing. So what are the county sheriffs and their deputies going to do if the FIB SWAT teams are behind them and the illegal invaders are in front of them?

THAT is what state militias are for ...
Need the bodies, infrastructure, and command network in place.
It’s more than a roadblock, it’s surveillance, backup surveillance, and adequate numbers if officers to handle tens of thousands at the border.
Suppose a group of about 150 from 3 buses disembarks and rides or hikes to the border 5 miles to Del Rio? Who in Texas is there to apprehend them? And if there are several other such groups? What about night ops? Yes, there is night vision but how apprehend at night if there are not adequate bodies and equipment? It takes planning.
Abbot has been busy reactivating the ‘Texas Guard’, a force that was disbanded and deactivated after WWII. He can’t just snap his fingers and wave a magic wand to get the forces ready and in place. We have to think that reality demands a lot of steps and decisions, and the legislature needs to be onboard with all of it.
From my tracking his reported actions and decisions, he’s been dilligently pursuing having Texas do the job the Federal government is supposed to do. He’s been sequestering funds, allocating them with legislative lobbying, meeting after meeting.
Abbott has been diligently pursuing border enforcement since before the election season. He’s also been pushing right-to-life bills like crazy. The Governor is a good man. He was criticized for his hesitancy in getting rid of the Covid mandates, but he has world class enemies in his backyard; Carlyle Group, Bushies, Cartel funded democrats, globalists, election fraud and so on.
There could be some damned good stand-offs like the standoff in Nevada about 10 years ago. The Feds backed down on that one. I can’t remember the name of the incident.
Joe Arpaio stood his ground more than once and the Feds backed down.
Walmart probably sponsors them, and $oro$ supplies the smartphones.
Negative on Walmart but yes on Soros. Soros does a hell of a lot more than supply cell phones.
