How would you like to support protecting the borders of the USA?

Unite with Governor Abbott of TX. Follow his lead. We all owe our children the duty we have to protect our own borders.

So help out.

Earlier (June 2023) What Can The States Do At The Border?

American news, social media, and the political class have been ablaze for weeks with the continually developing story of Texas’ Governor Greg Abbott’s stand against the Federal government in Eagle Pass. But this is just the beginning. Americans are well aware of the far-reaching powers of the Federal government. Many, however, don’t realize just how powerful state governments really are—if they decide to act.

The story in Texas began with the Biden administration’s treasonous refusal to actually secure the border. In response, the state government’s aptly named Operation Lone Star, originally only a support mission to assist the Department of Homeland Security in its purported goal to secure the U.S. frontier with Mexico, evolved into a standalone operation to secure the Texan border with Mexico.

After the Texas Department of Public Safety took control of a park in the city [Texas officers take “full control” of Eagle Pass park against city’s wishes, Texas Tribune, January 11, 2024] the number of illegal migrant crossings in the Eagle Pass region has declined from some 2,400 illegals a day to just 750 per day [Texas authorities arrest group of 10 migrants at southern border, video shows, ABC7 Chicago, January 21, 2024]. Additionally, most of those illegals that do make it across are arrested by the Texas Department of Public Safety, and many are subsequently pushed back over the border into Mexico. Texas claims to have returned more than 80,000 illegal immigrants to Mexico, and arrested tens of thousands more for various crimes including drug trafficking [Operation Lone Star Ramps Up Historic Response To Biden’s Border Crisis, gov.texas.gov, January 5, 2024]. The operation has been an unmitigated success, and as a result the Federal government has continually sought to interfere with Texas’ constitutional right to defend its inherent sovereignty.

As Texas put up more barriers and barred the Federal agents from accessing a public park, both the state and the Federal government made emergency appeals to the nation’s highest court. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in a 5-4 vote to allow the Department of Homeland Security to cut the razor wire fencing installed by the State of Texas along the border with Mexico [Supreme Court allows Border Patrol agents to remove razor wire Texas installed at Mexico border, by Lawrence Hurley, NBCNews, January 22, 2024].

In spite of this, Governor Abbott has announced construction of Forward Operating Base, a (National Guard) military base costing $131 million in the Del Rio Sector [Texas Takes Bold Stand: New Military Base to Secure the Border, The Conservative Fix, February 19, 2024]

Maybe TX can wrangle something out of the covid slush fund to pay for it.

There are laws in force that are more than adequate to "defend our borders." Every human who presents himself at the border must provide some justification to get in. If not, they cannot come in. Period. If they claim to be refugees seeking asylum, there are criteria that must be met. The Biden Administration PRESUMES that every single one of the bastards has a legitimate claim, knowing that only a small percentage of them meet the international criteria. This is insane. They should be kept out until there is a hearing to evaluate their claim, then if it is valid let them in. This is what Trump was doing.

No person can be legally hired in the U.S. without filling out an I-9 form, which is impossible for someone who is not legally here. "We" need to start enforcing that vigorously, using police agents from all levels of government. If ineligible people are hired, THROW THE SUPERVISORS IN JAIL! The problem will stop, immediately.

We need to aggressively deport everyone found to be in the country illegally. Put them on a bus, a plane, an SUV or an ox-cart; makes no difference, but get them the fuck out of the country.

Ukraine protects its borders with tanks, missiles, fully automatic weapons that kill people. The US gives them billions so they can repel the invaders.....do you get the hint?

best way to get rid of the vermin crossing our southern border. Not by Trains, Planes or automobiles. Send them one way, so they cant come back.

Why yes, I do indeed. And Biden wants to really protect Ukraines borders. But not the borders of the USA.

DEPORT every last illegal and arm the border with tanks and machine guns to keep them out!

Many employers are not subject to E Verify. It is a crappy law.

What states require E-Verify 2024?


E-Verify is voluntary except for federal contractors and in certain states which require all employers to use it, including Alabama, Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Massachusetts, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Utah.

Come on, if illegals are coming here for jobs why are we providing hundreds of billions in free money, travel, housing, food, healthcare? Seems like they are broke ass bitches with no job.

I support E-Verify with some reservations

ICE must not be allowed to cherry pick republican owned businesses to raid while ignoring similar companies owned by democrat donars

Enforcement must be broad based and non political

Also illegal workers employed there must be taken into custody and deported immediately

Catch and release must not be an option
