Kinney County Attorney Brent Smith, who’s called on Gov. Greg Abbott to declare an invasion at the southern border, told The Center Square, “Our border security has deteriorated to such a point that persons attempting to illegally enter our country now brazenly carry their Venezuelan flag while they assault our border patrol agents. Violence and lawlessness runs rampant across our southern border. America’s front door is being kicked in. This is what an invasion looks like.”
What happened evidences “the patchwork policy of selective border enforcement, degradation of the rule of law, and loss of respect for U.S. sovereignty, all caused by the ineptitude of the Biden Administration,” international law expert Jonathan Hullihan told The Center Square. The agents’ capabilities, he added, evidenced “that if a political will existed in Washington, D.C., the United States has a way to use duly enacted legal authority” to secure the border. OK, where are the so called Freepers who are all in for pouring tax dollars and US military equipment into the Ukraine? Here is the US being straight up invaded and there is virtually no pushback other than some ‘non lethal’ response. What is wrong with people here who piss and moan about the brave Uke’s and how important their cause is? This is your country being invaded, and yes the President does have the powers to send the armed forces and mobilize the National Guard. the Posse Comitatus argument is without merit. During the period of 1915 to 1921 the US Army and the Az, NM, and Texas NG were constantly involved in actions to repel invaders along the southern border.
Past legal immigration: when they came for a job and a better future for them and their families.
Current illegal immigration: when they come for benefits, welfare, and no consideration for their future.
