When Texas acts, DHS and Coahuila reacts

The Zetas control most of Coahuila (one of 31 Mexican states); human traffickers operate there, particularly in Saltillo.

After the Supreme Court ruling, the media descended to Eagle Pass to witness Border Patrol cutting the barbed wire and allowing immigrants in.

However, the real story is that migrant arrivals to Piedras Negras have been reduced by 50% or more after the meetings between Mexican and US officials. Migrants have been bused or flown from Northern Mexico to Southern Mexico. There is no one crossing at Shelby Park for Border Patrol to cut any wire!

There’s 500-600 daily crossings. So, where did the migrants go?

They have been spread out, moving either south or north being crossed at ranches and private property. Areas that have been dormant are once again active.

Groups are making their way and turning themselves in to Border Patrol out in the field where there is no wire to cut and no presence of National Guard or Texas DPS.

Among those is a family from Honduras with the mother due in 8 days to have her anchor baby. A major debris field is building up where they are crossing.

The fight is not at Shelby Park. The real fight is in Washington DC.

Written in the same manner as the Declaration of Independence. And for very similar reasons as well. I like it.

Bravo! Eagle Pass is not enough though. It is not supposed to be a test case.

BTW, it is a VERY good letter. One page, concise, accurate and forceful.

After Trump, this is the man I would proudly support for president in 2028 if he runs. A governor who actually understands the Constitution and states rights under it. Who knew.

Gov. Abbott, Send Every Illegal to Washington, D.C.,

From Now On:

He needs to focus his itineraries on the one place that matters most.

Abbott needs to stop busing migrants to Chicago, New York, Detroit, Denver, and other blue cities around the country and focus his itineraries on the one place that matters most.

Every single migrant who crosses into Texas ought to be collected and shipped to Washington, D.C.

Let the nation’s capital become the world’s largest migrant camp. Let the schools, hospitals, gymnasia, theaters, hotels, airports, train stations, police stations, fire stations, arenas, and government buildings be overrun with migrants to such an extent that nothing but their care can be accomplished. Turn every park in Washington into a tent city for Bolivians, Guatemalans, Chinese, and Pakistanis to litter, micturate, and defecate at their leisure within.

Shut down D.C. with illegal migrants. Bury it. Focus the suffering; trap it where the power brokers live. Make them so miserable that they scream for respite from the refugee camp their city has become.

Maybe then we’ll see some change.

What we know is that the ruling class, the out-of-touch, insufferable elite who populate that place, won’t stop inflicting pain until it’s inflicted on them. And not enough is getting to them. So bring it right to their doorstep.

Now. Faster.
