Few places along our 2,000-mile southern border with Mexico more perfectly illustrate America's utterly dysfunctional immigration policy than a remote, private pecan farm in Eagle Pass, Texas.
At this sprawling ranch - owned by Hugo and Magaly Urbina – on the banks of the Rio Grande, President Joe Biden's federal Border Patrol agents are locked in a bizarre daily struggle with Texas Governor Greg Abbott's Department of Public Safety (DPS).
Under a simple white tent on the farm, U.S. Border Patrol agents are processing illegal migrants and then transporting them by bus to a nearby brick-and-mortar facility.
From there they will likely be released into the U.S. interior to await judicial hearings on their asylum claims. For some, the process may take up to six years.
Just outside the property's fence, however - between the river and the farm - Texas DPS authorities stand guard and bristle with frustration.
Why?
'It seems that [U.S. Border Patrol is] letting [migrants] in and we're doing our part in order to keep them out,' DPS Highway Patrol Sgt. Rene Cordova explains to me.
Sgt. Cordova shows me fortifications they've built to stop migrants from crossing onto the Urbina's farm, but Border Patrol tore down a section of the chain link fence.
It also wasn't helpful to Texas that the Urbinas – who leased a long stretch of their riverfront to the Border Patrol at expense to the U.S. taxpayer - dug a walkway ramp down to the river to make the steep bank more accessible.
This is nothing short of an absurd civil war of sorts pitting two American forces, one controlled by Texas and the other by Washington D.C., against each other.
And it all but guarantees that neither fully succeeds nor fails.

What if Texas arrested the federal agents for destruction of property?
I thought that premise was the focus of an article just recently.
Texas should just kick the border agents out of Texas. Let the political storm begin.
Arrest Federal agents? That’s a cool way to start a hot CWII.
I’m not saying it’s a bad idea.
“ Sgt. Cordova shows me fortifications they’ve built to stop migrants from crossing onto the Urbina’s farm, but Border Patrol tore down a section of the chain link fence.”
So slap the cuffs on them.

Also been telling people here, do not put your faith on the border patrol agents! Or the blue …not in border cities! They are deep, deep, loyal Democrats. I know cause I live in a damn blue city. A few are grateful to Trump, but the rest are just plain asses and hate Republicans conservatives and most definitely Trump. So don’t let their uniform or oath fool you their loyalty lay on the DNC, the DC swamp and their affiliated RAT 🐀 party. They are big fans of Mayorkas!
The State should do what the Feds do, GO AFTER THE URBINAS! There’s GOT to be a State law regarding HUMAN TRAFFICKING because that’s what they’re doing, let alone being TRAITORS to the State of Texas.
Then Biden will send in the National Guard - not to enforce the border but to fight Teexas DPS. This really is how Civil Wars start.
Well, that’s depressing. I honestly wouldn’t have thought that.
They caught one (border agent) cutting down barb wire to allow illegals to cross the other day.
I always wonder too when I see so many Mexican as border agents!
And the owners of the land built a ramp.so illegals could waltz in
WTF?

Not the first time in history the Zentral Ministerium in Washington f’d over a southern state. A people can only take so much. I still have hopes for Border Patrol to choose the right side if the balloon goes up.
Sorry for the double comment. My internet is glitching.

What is coming is far worse than your typical civil war. You only have to look to France to see what is coming. Military age fighters from China. Illegals Galore. They will join and attack this country before long.

If the Urbinas are aiding the illegals by easing the way into the USA, why is the TDPS protecting the Urbinas’ property? They should let the invaders do whatever they want to the Urbinas’ property.
bttt border
Or just march them through the fence they cut holes in and close up the wire behind them. If they want to support a Mexican regime, let them go to Mexico.
