The border crisis isn’t going away. It hasn’t gotten any better despite fewer news reports highlighting it, even from conservative and alternative media. The fatigue in the news cycle has relegated this existential threat to the status of sideshow; only on slow news days does it get any real attention.
But it’s not just fatigue. Many who are adamantly opposed to the invasion at our southern border do not discuss it much because there’s very little we can do as long as the Biden-Harris regime is in power. Republicans on Capitol Hill can complain about it all day but until they get the testicular fortitude to impeach DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, we’re stuck with a heavily publicized open border for the world to disregard.
Texas Governor Greg Abbott and his administration are trying to take matters into their own hands with a floating border wall in the Rio Grande River. The Biden-Harris regime isn’t happy about it, so they’re coming after Abbott. But he has both the moral and likely legal high ground, and while we cannot take judiciary fairness for granted, it seems unlikely the regime can stop Abbott’s attempts to mitigate damage along the Texas border.
At a time when far more needs to be done to slow the invasion, Abbott is demonstrating the the proper path to fight federal tyranny. Unfortunately, the stolen Arizona gubernatorial election means Abbott’s efforts will likely only shift the surge westward, but it’s something. I’ve never been a fan of Abbott’s but sometimes he does shine with the proper light. This is one of those cases.
Here’s the news about what’s happening in Texas reported by Truth Based Media:
Texas Governor Greg Abbott Fires Back Against Biden-Harris Regime Threats
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott took to Twitter on Sunday to taunt the Biden administration in a pair of tweets as he faces a lawsuit from the Department of Justice over the state’s effort to secure its international border with Mexico.
In one tweet, Abbott praised his border security for seizing more than 422 million deadly doses of fentanyl, which he claimed were able to cross the U.S.-Mexico border because of the president’s poor performance.
“Texas Has Seized More Than 422 Million Lethal Doses of Fentanyl Since 2021. More than enough to kill all Americans,” the Texas governor wrote. “We have also made 394,200 illegal-immigrant apprehensions and 31,300 criminal arrests. All because Biden is not doing his job.”
In another tweet, Abbott said Biden would “face the consequences” should the Department of Justice take the state of Texas to court. The DOJ previously said in a letter to Abbott that it intends to sue him over the use of a floating buoy border barrier to stop illegal immigration into the state.
Abbott, along with the Texas Department of Public Safety and the Texas National Guard, released a statement on Friday highlighting the efforts of Operation Lone Star, a coordinated effort by border personnel to “secure the border; stop the smuggling of drugs, weapons, and people into Texas; and prevent, detect, and interdict transnational criminal behavior between ports of entry.”
“Since the launch of Operation Lone Star, the multi-agency effort has led to over 394,200 illegal immigrant apprehensions and more than 31,300 criminal arrests, with more than 29,100 felony charges reported. In the fight against fentanyl, Texas law enforcement has seized over 422 million lethal doses of fentanyl during this border mission,” the joint statement read.
The statement also highlighted the state’s efforts to send migrants who crossed the southern border to Democratic cities across the country, including Washington, D.C., New York City, Chicago, Philadelphia, Denver, and Los Angeles.
In total, over 27,000 migrants have been sent to those cities.
“Operation Lone Star continues to fill the dangerous gaps created by the Biden Administration’s refusal to secure the border. Every individual who is apprehended or arrested and every ounce of drugs seized would have otherwise made their way into communities across Texas and the nation due to President Joe Biden’s open border policies,” the statement added.
Texas is also staring down a legal bout with the Biden administration over its use of barriers erected at the border, which administration officials claim have created a dangerous path for potential migrants. Some border officials have recalled migrants suffering from cuts and lacerations as they crawled through barbed fencing.
A spokesperson for the Justice Department’s Environment and Natural Resources Division confirmed that the DOJ “sent a letter to the Texas Governor and Attorney General providing notice of our intent to pursue legal action related to unlawful construction of a floating barrier in the Rio Grande River, pursuant to section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act, 33 U.S.C. § 403.”
The letter sets a July 24 deadline for a response from Abbott.
Abbott initially responded to the letter in a series of tweets on Friday, when he again blamed President Biden’s handling of the border crisis and unashamedly said Texas was “stepping up to address this crisis.”
No one is endangered until they break immigration law. Undermining idiot Biden’s border plan of keeping it wide open, enabling human trafficking and flooding the nation with illegal immigrants, criminals, disease and fentanyl is the whole point.
Common Democrat tactic: drive failure up to unprecedented levels, then claim great success over a moderate, if phony, improvement.
