Texas has continued to defy President Joe Biden on the border issue and is offering cash for Texas Military Department members to man the border.
The Lone Star State is seeking "to deploy border security assets to high threat areas to deny criminal organizations the ability to illegally move drugs and people into Texas," according to TMD's website.
This comes amid ongoing tensions between Governor Greg Abbott and the Biden administration over the border with Mexico. On Monday, the Supreme Court sided with the Biden administration and held that federal Border Patrol agents were authorized to remove the razor wire installed under Abbott's orders near the border city of Eagle Pass.
Volunteers will work with the Texas Military Department full-time for up to $55 per day, according to the agency's website.
The volunteers must already be members of the TMD in an initiative that is part of Abbott's Operation Lone Star to combat the rise in illegal immigration.
The call for more volunteers is part of a showdown between the state and the Biden administration over the issue of the border.
The Biden administration has argued the wire, installed as part of Operation Lone Star, restricts Border Patrol agents from accessing parts of the border. Abbott, meanwhile, has slammed "Biden's reckless open-border policies," and tweeted after the Supreme Court's decision that the wire is an "effective deterrent against the illegal border crossings."
In apparent defiance of the court's decision, he said: "We continue to deploy this razor wire to repel illegal immigration."

God bless Texas. These actions make Abbott one of the greatest Americans of this dark time. We don’t just have to take it from the America haters who rule us
Jo Pedo has defied the SCOTUS on a number of occasions. He should be impeached. Abbott is playing by the same rules the commie RATS and pedophiles ARE PLAYING BY.
From here deep behind enemy lines in the California Republic (the words that actually appear on our state flag + a red star honoring Texas) I have to report that your assertion “once a Republic, always a Republic” isn’t a hard and fast rule
Abbott is actually in India right now.
I recognize the reality of the various situations.
It’s a goal to seek.
Happy its happening but this should have been done on day one not 3.2 million invaders later

Operation Lone Star
On March 4, 2021, Governor Greg Abbott activated the Texas Military Department to provide additional support to the Texas Department of Public Safety after a an increase in activity from transnational criminal networks along the Texas-Mexico Border.
The Texas Military Department has more than 1,000 service members mobilized to provide additional support to the Texas Department of Public Safety in deterring criminal activity along the border. The Texas Military has a long history of enduring relationships with local, state and federal agencies in conducting Homeland Security missions that dates back more than 100 years.
As part of this mission, and in support of the Texas Department of Public Safety, the Texas Military Department provides over watch support by maintaining observation points along the Texas-Mexico border, enhancing “eyes and ears” on the ground for DPS. At the direction of Governor Abbott, Texas Guardsmen also assists the Texas Department of Public Safety and local authorities with arresting individuals for state charges related to the border crisis.
Also in support of this mission, and in support of the Texas Department of Public Safety, Texas Guardsmen and other state agencies are working together to construct temporary barriers in key areas along the border to help secure the area.

Weird how Joe Biden didn’t decide to shut down LNG exports until Texas decided to take control of the southern border
These are sanctions against Texas for defending the border
Are you paying attention yet?

It’s much better to have an intermural war than to seek one abroad. War against the evil, intrusive central gooberment somehow seems proper and just.
It is appropriate to have an ignorant ass like Biden as the centerpiece of this hateful overbearing and highly intrusive monster.
Do the Texas Rangers still exist?
Hell no. We are the only part of De voting GOP. Send them to Wilmington.
“Send some to the coastal enclaves of Delaware!
One freeper said to saturate a 50 mile radius around the Capitol Building and the Outhouse with illegals, 24/7!
I wouldn't be surprised if Biden seized their cash assets and sent the money to Ukraine
Like this....
