Texas Gov. Greg Abbott announced Friday a plan to build a military base camp in Eagle Pass that will house National Guard troops tasked with responding to what he refers to as “President Joe Biden’s border crisis.”
The base camp will be built on 80 acres of land in Eagle Pass and accommodate up to 1,800 Texas National Guard members, with room for an additional 500, to bolster the state’s border security capabilities.
“This will increase the ability for a larger number of Texas Military Department soldiers in Eagle Pass to operate more effectively and efficiently,” Mr. Abbott said at a press conference. The Republican governor said that the base camp, called “Forward Operating Base,” would “dramatically improve” living conditions for soldiers deployed to the U.S.-Mexico border.
“Texas would not be able to respond to President Biden’s border crisis without the brave men and women of the Texas National Guard, and it is essential to build this base camp for them,” he added.

Texas Governor Announces Plan to Build Military Base Camp Near Eagle Pass
And so it begins...
I have no idea what I think they might. /s
According to the news, AZ, CA and NM will now start receiving Illegals that are being diverted from Texas. Pretty soon, Texas will have Zero Illegal Immigrants.
The other states wil ship them to Texas.
Sounds like a plan…..
“We need more Abbotts and fewer Hobbs as governors of our nation’s states.”
If anybody likes this idea as I do....
this is starting to look hopeful.
Go Abbott!!!
I thought I had seen a claim that Biden can’t nationalize the Texas National guard without the Texas governor’s consent. In 1957 Eisenhower nationalized the Arkansas NG via EO 10730. Did something change since then, or was it something in the Texas Constitution?
I don’t think that Texas will be a preferred destination for Migrants already in other States. Remember, they have to sign an agreement to be shipped anywhere.
Texas might deport them if that happened.
Needs a big stockade
I really need to move to Texas.

I won’t be happy until they issue an order to SHOOT ON SIGHT with these illegal border jumpers.
It isn’t the National Guard. It is the Texas Guard. A different entity that isn’t part of the army
Decades ago I remember when Mexico got upset that the US might be “militarizing the border” to stop illegal aliens.
Sadly it might be time to do it.
Can we call it Bien Hoi Y’all!
