Video: Texas Troops Spring Into Action After Illegal Immigrants Plant Foreign Flag on US Soil
Western Journal ^ | September 25, 2023 | George C. Upper III

As the porous border near Eagle Pass, Texas, continues to see huge numbers of illegal immigrants pass over it, one group decided to claim part of Texas in the name of the nation they had presumably escaped from.

Lt. Chris Olivarez, a spokesman for the Texas Department of Public Safety’s South Texas Region, noted that many of the immigrants hailed from Venezuela, although the flag they planted on an Island with the borders of Texas appeared to be Columbian.

Wherever it happened to come from, members of the DPS’ Tactical Marine Unit wasn’t going to let it remain planted on American soil.

“The #EaglePass area continues to experience an influx of illegal immigrants – the majority from Venezuela,” Olivarez wrote in a post to X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter. “Some decided to claim a #Texas island by placing a foreign flag – that was quickly taken care of by our DPS Tactical Marine Unit.”

Olivarez posted video of the team removing the flag.

So what exactly would the regime do? Send the army to force the border open? Try to arrest state officials?

There's no point in maintaining the farce of a representative government in DC. Make it back down or make it use naked force to support itself.

Yes I think Biden and Demx would send either the Guard or military(or maybe the armed IRS agents).
The Guard is already undermining Abbott’s efforts to stop illegals.
Do you live in Texas ir a birder state?

I wouldn't be surprised if Guard officers are trying to sabotage even Abbot's limited efforts. The culture of brown-nosing opportunism in the US military is firmly entrenched, so paying attention to what the communists in DC want is far more important to many of them than their nominal local commander, the governor.

What should be done is getting the state allocate funds to move a good part of the Guard into the state militia, free of any Federal control. Or they could ask for volunteers among the many veterans living in Texas.

I lived in Texas on and off over the past 40 years. I still have family there.

Wish they would do the same with the LGBT and BLM flags. Even the all-muslim city council in Hamtramck is getting blowback from outlawing the “pride” flag.

??? What? What?
The Texas State Guard Is the state militia. Do not carry arms
You can’t move anyone from the Texas Army National guard or Texas Aur Force National guard into the Texas State Guard. They are bith under federal control.
Allocate more funds? We already spend over 11 Billion. Get funds fr9m where.
How much more are you and your family willing to give?
It is a horrible situation. It is easy to say what should be done when you have no facts.

“Drive through the southwest side of Chicago, many Mexican flags planted on front porches, draped across hoods of cars……”

Just about every ethic immigrant group — legal or otherwise — flies the flag of the country from where that came. Here, in the northeast, I still see the Italian and Irish flags, even though the people flying the flags are second, third, and fourth generation American. Lots of Ukrainian flags also.

At least they are natural born citizens and not foreign illegal invaders.

Texas has a National Guard and a state militia, but they are not the same. I believe the National Guard has to be paid for by the state when the governor calls them out. So the state is already paying. But under the National Guard Act they are still Federal troops. All I’m saying is that if Texas is paying for them anyway, they should ask them to move over to the state militia, which cannot be Federalized.

If we could get most of the governors to declare those thousands of military illegals as an invasion Abbott could activate the National Guard. It is an invasion.
But you know Biden and Demx and most media would call for action against the Texas Guard defending our borders.
Do You really want Americans shooting other Americans over illegals?

Short answer: yes. If we don't stop this, the regime will turn the US into Brazil with snow. And "this" is an out-of-control, illegitimate government that is breaking the law.

So the real question is, Are there enough Federal soldiers willing to shoot Americans to force illegal immigration? If the answer is "no" the regime is forced to back down or even collapses. If "yes" then we will have a civil war that is inevitable under these condition anyway.

You are cavalier with other people’s lives.
If you are serious We can find a place for you in Texas Guard and You can be the one the feds shoot at to prove a point.

I'm old enough to no longer give a damn and old enough to feel the steady erosion of our liberties. This is no longer the country into which I was born.

There's no point in continuing to have fraudulent elections determined by ballot stuffing and the 24/7 Dem media propaganda machine.

There are far worse ways to go as I have seen.

Not the Mexican one, however, but the Texas businessmen who profit from illegals and cheap labor, like the "developer" for the huge settlement of illegals outside Houston.

I do not disagree. MY greatest concern is Demx stealing elections. We know they did. We know they will try. Even here in Texas we have evidence they cheated and know they will try again.
I think/hope enough will vote to overcome the new ways they will cheat. Then maybe we can slow down illegals. There are already so many it may be too late. The Hispanics here in Texas are as against illegals as anyone.

It was federally controlled when there was Texas Rangers.

TRY READING A BIT OF Western history.

??What is your point? The issue today is there is only so much a state can do to stop illegals from coming in.
The Texas Rangers were and are a unique and amazing organization
But even they can’t use force to stop illegals from getting in.
