Texas's Gov. Abbott blocks and breaks that gargantuan incoming caravan

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.

What needs to happen is for there to be state warrants for fed/fib arrests. Then there needs to be bounties for them to be dragged back for prosecution for VIOLATION of STATE and FEDERAL LAWS. Especially treason. How great it would be if they lived in fear of the knock on the door in the middle of the night...too.

How can the buttholes in Mehico issue “humanitarian” permits for freeloading Mexicans to enter the U.S. The ‘RATs are worried about American Democrazy but sure doesn’t GAS about American sovereignty. It’s time to start impeaching those Turd Wurld wannabes in the District of Corruption starting with Jo Jo the Pedo.

How would owning Baja CA and some land below NM/AZ prevent illegals from getting into Texas?

How would it prevent them getting into AZ or NM or CA? The border would just be closer to where they’re coming from, not impossible to get across...?

I never said it would stop illegal immigration into Texas, I said virtually all border resources can then go to the Rio Grande. You can't build a wall on the Rio Grande, but you can on that strip of land immediately due south of NM and AZ, which we should be owning and which would solve virtually all of our border problems.

How would it prevent them getting into AZ or NM or CA?

If you look at the US-Mexican border west of TX, it is very irregular. Owning that land from the NE corner of Gulf of Baja California to Texas would virtually stop all illegal immigration trafficking.

I know right. The Mexican War did produce some great generals though.

Biden and his goons WANT ILLEGALS TO CROSS INTO THE UNITED STATES BECAUSE THEY WANT TO DESTABILIZE OUR COUNTRY.
