Texas Begins Arresting Illegal Immigrants for Trespassing as Part of Gov. Greg Abbott’s Border Security Plan

[John T. Ford]

What is needed is for Abbott to be arrested and deposed and a Governor put into place who understands the Constitution.

Texas can't even keep the lights on. The state should stop trying to pretend it's a country. It's a craphole.

Damn Leftist are stupid ....

Folks you can't make this shit up.

If the government is paralyzed the people must act. Instead of ignoring the invasion and absorbing the damage, start shooting. If the border is going to be lawless give the invaders real lawlessness.

Trumper living up to the reputation, lol. The illegal immigrants are being used for cheap labor, they arent harming you

He has every right & every responsibility to protect his citizens & his economy against what can only be referred to as an illegal invasion by unwelcome foreign nationals.

Yeah, I hear it's quite the variety they're seeing coming across. I'd chain their asses up and put them to work.

You know this, how, exactly? These people are flooding into this country. A couple of hundred thousand per month. No vetting for criminal history or terrorist connections. No medical exams or even simple Covid tests. Add to this the actions by the Feds to transport large numbers of them into states that have no border with Mexico and without any notification of the local authorities where they are being released. Why would they do that?

 

[Esdraelon]

Nor do they have the authority to enforce federal laws.

True, but we do have very recent precedent for state governments unilterally nullifying Federal immigration statutes. CA, IL, OR, WA... I'd support red states refusing to allow these illegal migrants to stay on their soil, let alone feed, clothe and house them. They'd mostly stick out like a sore, non-English-speaking thumb. Roll up on them, cuff and pack them into whatever state vehicles that were available then drive their asses south to the border they just crossed. Those who got mouthy or froggy and turned around to come back could be shot.

I’m still waiting for you to post something ILLEGAL that the Epoch Times has done

you begin by accusing them of being anti CCP

That may be a crime where you live but not in my neighborhood

and they promote Shen Yun?

shame on them for promoting chinese culture as it existed before Mao

 

[USAF 2023]

Stopping submental racists like Abbott is not only good for refugees, it's good for the soul of the USA!

Stupid and ignorant racist remark. What is wrong with ANY Country having immigration laws and enforcing them? Why should some just cross the border while others are forced to go through proper channels?
Tell us why COVID positive illegals are being dispersed throughout the Country but especially on the border .

They have been harming me for years. The cheap labor meme is old, tired, and hasn't been true since Cesar Chavez was burying those bodies in the fields.

To overburden the system until it collapses. Exactly as strategies by Cloward and Piven.

So you have nothing to contribute, but that doesn't stop you from commenting. Interesting.

The Green New Deal Is a Dead Man's Hand

Before the Lethal Lockdown, auto emissions had stopped all pandemics for 100 years, ever since they reached levels to wipe out the Spanish Influenza. Viruses can only survive in what the GreenHead Unabombers call "Clean Air," which is by far the most toxic of all and a carrier that throughout pre-industrial history killed more people than wars and even killed more soldiers in wars than their enemies did.

Are you on LSD?

What is the status of the illegals Biden is shipping all over the US? Republican governors need to step up on this issue and come up with a unified way to to fight back on Biden flooding red states with illegals.

As I correctly said before, You will never again see freedom, without GREAT sacrifice. Not sure Americans even know what that is today.
They still erroneously believe their Constitution or their God will protect them. Big mistake.

Biden was wrongfully and illegally elected. He haS no business living in the White House President Trump. All those illegal votes that showed up at 3 am were massively focused on changing Trumps win to give the false appearance of Biden winning. It will be made clear some day if Biden doesn't concede his party's shennigans, he will go down in history as America's only illegally elected Preisdent who has raised incompetence, illegality, and organized criminality into a stinking art.

"start shooting"....that worked last time when an American citizen out goat herding was shot and killed.

Unfortunately, this is dragging us into a sticky widget of gray uncertainty----

1. Technically, a state doesn't have the jurisdiction to build border walls or defend the border as that is federal jurisdiction. Nor do they have the authority to enforce federal laws.
2. It is the federal government's responsibility to protect the border, unfortunately, no one has ever written a law imposing what the fine or penalty for not doing so should be and there is no authority to enforce it, other than the fed itself.
3. Where is Abbott going to get the money to finish the border wall? Will he sue the fed for reparations?
4. It seems to me then that all Abbott can do is charge the illegals with /civil/ violations of local law such as destruction of property and trespassing. I'm not sure he even has the authority to return these people back to Mexico but instead turning them over to ICE.
5. I don't think it is possible for a state to declare war against its own government. At best, he can secede from the Union and be considered a traitor like the Confederates.
6. It would be interesting for Texas to sue the fed for the cost and damages for their not protecting the border.

It is clear Biddum won't protect the border and this will undoubtedly lead to an eventual showdown between the Fed and Texas. What Abbott needs now is for more states to join and side with him.

Abbott is doing the right thingbecause he serves God and thewill of Texas people. He's a courageous man with a group of great Americans who reflect the majority will of the Americans who live in Texas.

Epoch Times ^ | July 23, 2021 | TOM OZIMEK

Authorities in Texas have begun arresting illegal immigrants along the U.S.-Mexico border on trespassing charges, according to Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, who has blamed the Biden administration for the surge in illegal immigration and has put in motion his own border security plan to crack down on illegal crossings.

“Texas has begun arresting illegal immigrants who are trespassing in Texas or vandalizing property & fences. They are now being sent to this jail rather than being released like the Biden Admin. has been doing. We are adding more officers, National Guard & jails,” Abbott said in a tweet Thursday.

So far, at least 10 people have been jailed, with more on the way, authorities said Thursday. The detainees are being held at what had been an empty state prison in Dilley, Texas, about 100 miles north of the border city of Laredo, according to Robert Hurst, a spokesman for the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. The converted facility will be able to hold more than 950 people, he said.

Val Verde County Attorney David Martinez said that all of those arrested so far have been single adult men. He said he had been advised last week that the number of arrests of illegal immigrants could rise to as many as 100 to 200 per day.

The arrests put in motion plans that Abbott first announced in June, when he hosted a Border Security Summit in Del Rio, during which he said individuals who enter Texas illegally would be subject to arrest for trespassing.

“President Biden’s open-border policies have led to a humanitarian crisis at our southern border as record levels of illegal immigrants, drugs, and contraband pour into Texas,” Abbott said in a June 10 statement. “While securing the border is the federal government’s responsibility, Texas will not sit idly by as this crisis grows. The state is working collaboratively with communities impacted by the crisis to arrest and detain individuals coming into Texas illegally.”

During the summit, Abbott said he had directed the Texas Commission on Jail Standards and the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement to work with counties to establish alternative detention facilities to ensure enough jail capacity to house illegal immigrants arrested for trespassing.

“Our efforts will only be effective if we work together to secure the border, make criminal arrests, protect landowners, rid our communities of dangerous drugs, and provide Texans with the support they need and deserve,” Abbott said at the time. “This is an unprecedented crisis, and Texas is responding with the most robust and comprehensive border plan the nation has ever seen.”

Illegal immigrants arrested by state troopers for trespassing first began showing up at the former prison on Tuesday. Prison officials said in a statement said that preparations for the Dilley facility included temporary air conditioning—which many Texas prisons don’t have in living areas—and training and licensing jailers.

Abbott has also announced that Texas would continue building former President Donald Trump’s border wall and called on other governors to deploy law enforcement and National Guard members to the southern border.

“In the Biden Administration’s absence, Texas is stepping up to get the job done by building the border wall,” Abbott said in a June 16 statement. “Through this comprehensive public safety effort, we will secure the border, slow the influx of unlawful immigrants, and restore order in our border communities.”

Federal immigration officials recently announced that they had apprehended 188,829 people illegally crossing the southwest border in June, up from 180,034 in May. The figure includes more than 15,000 unaccompanied minors, over 55,000 family units, and over 117,000 single adults.

--------------------

It’s time for Abbot to actually close his sovereign states international border by using his National Guard & explain to the Federal Government that any attempt to stop him will be considered an act of war.

He has every right & every responsibility to protect his citizens & his economy against what can only be referred to as an illegal invasion by unwelcome foreign nationals.

Texas Rose Sunday Sunday a lot more money on prisons and prisoners than they do on education which is badly needed in that state, just look at the idiot politicians they have. Not a good example.
