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!
So cut the wire and throw it into the river.
Ouch! How about a little love for the brave people who founded the California Republic. Carving civilization out of a howling wilderness was no mean feat. Though the Mexican government was weak, it also took a pair to overthrow Mexican administration and found the California Republic. As noted, the signal example of Texas is honored by the red star on our state flag
I don’t consider those weeks of some localized activity a real republic, it is a game show trivia question.
Actually the border patrol doesn’t want it cut unless someone is trapped. So no problem.
The comments following the article show what absolute ignorance and dem brainwashing we are up against.
yes, but they’re primarily investigative. I know a lot of them very well. FR mail if you want more details on what they do and how they do it.
The colors and symbols of the California State flag are:
White for purity, Red for courage, the Grizzly Bear to represent strength and independence,
and the Red Star to represent the fact that California, like Texas, became a state without ever having been a territory.
............and the ever popular another reason why Biden should be in prison
Biden should be serving up to 5 years in prison
It is a crime to encourage illegal immigration :
8 U.S. Code § 1324 - Bringing in and harboring certain aliens
(a) Criminal penalties
(1)
(A) Any person who—
(iv) encourages or induces an alien to come to, enter, or reside in the United States, knowing or in reckless disregard of the fact that such coming to, entry, or residence is or will be in violation of law; or
(v)
(I) engages in any conspiracy to commit any of the preceding acts, or
(II) aids or abets the commission of any of the preceding acts, shall be punished as provided in subparagraph (B).
*** 😎 A person who violates subparagraph (A) shall, for each alien in respect to whom such a violation occurs—
(i) in the case of a violation of subparagraph (A)(i) or (v)(I) or in the case of a violation of subparagraph (A)(ii), (iii), or (iv) in which the offense was done for the purpose of commercial advantage or private financial gain, be fined under title 18, imprisoned not more than 10 years, or both;
(ii) in the case of a violation of subparagraph (A)(ii), (iii), (iv), or (v)(II), be fined under title 18, imprisoned not more than 5 years, or both;
If, and that’s a big IF, Governor Abbott stands his ground HE WILL BECOME A NATIONAL HERO!! His name will live forever in the history books! But the pressure put upon his shoulders is going to be so astronomical.
The feds did a pretty good job putting up barbed wire surrounding the entire Capitol area a few years ago. They can repeat it and house these illegal aliens there. It would be a win-win.
If they run out of space, they could have them sleep on the parking garage floors in a space blanket like the National Guard did in the winter of 2020-2021. If it's good enough for our troops, it is good enough for them.
Great suggestions:

Abbott isn’t fighting against Biden and Washington DC, the fight is against the illegal, criminal fascist syndicate occupying Washington.
Lots of the border area is very difficult terrain. The desert is real unforgiving. The invaders need drinkable water and that means a town. Small groups can cross the desert, maybe but large ones would die
God Bless Texas.
Abbot keeps it up? He will rival Sam Houston.
No greater choice could be made more accurately.
Now lets see if this show of strength will deter Biden and bring about a proper closed secure border from Congress.If not, we are closer to a real fight.
Now let’s see if Arizona follows Texas.
New Mexico and California will benefit by getting all the new people.
Snipers are needed to take out the coyotes that are always present and watching from across the river.
Tbe People of Arizona willfollow Texas if its givernment does not.
It will take time for the Arizona State admin to understand that they have no choice....the legislature there should be in emergency session.
This is confusing.
Us govt employees are mandated to annually take human trafficking training where we are told it is illegal (a crime) for us govt employees to engage in human trafficking.
Yet, this “Administration” does massive human trafficking on a never before seen scale.
So.....if I human traffic I go to prison.
If Biden people human traffic....what?
Repubs could zero budget various govt departments responsible.
Justice Dept could arrest and charge those doing so.
The Supreme Court could take actions.
But noone who could deal with this crime does anything.
Why?
