Bussing illegals to the libs

[Super Bee]

You are assuming nothing is being done. Alamo told you above that is simply not true.

Saying nothing can be done and saying Texas is doing nothing are two totally different things. It's always easy to judge from 1500 miles away though.

I am not assuming nothing is being done, I am saying what he is doing is not working. . post #656.

I would not throw out the judging card. I see you voice you opinion on topics daily where you are not living next door.

Winter is coming and a lot of those people in the cities will be moving indoors. 10F and 30 mph winds will be a new experience for those who grew up in the tropics.

Whatever Abbott is doing right now, it would be worse without it. Here’s the stats so far:

Since the launch of Operation Lone Star, the multi-agency effort has led to over 457,500 illegal immigrant apprehensions and more than 34,400 criminal arrests, with more than 31,300 felony charges reported. In the fight against fentanyl, Texas law enforcement has seized over 429 million lethal doses of fentanyl during this border mission.

Texas has also bused:

• Over 11,900 migrants to Washington, D.C. since April 2022
• Over 14,900 migrants to New York City since August 2022
• Over 8,700 migrants to Chicago since August 2022
• Over 3,000 migrants to Philadelphia since November 2022
• Over 1,600 migrants to Denver since May 18
• Over 610 migrants to Los Angeles since June 14

Border control is a federal responsibility, and taking direct action against illegal immigration is by law and constitutional design difficult for states to do on their own. It’s a little more than fixing bayonets and rushing to the border, especially when you have a Department Justice, that’s convinced the entire population of the red states are domestic insurrectionist terrorists.

One terrific thing Abbott IS doing is bussing illegals and this was/is a genius Alinsky-ish political move. It’s exposing the Dem’s political posturing and forcing them to confront the Biden administration about its evil immigration policies. That’s rich.

(Oh, and the guv has set up a unit to quickly deploy to “hotspots” where illegals have broken through. Unexpectedly).

It’s easy to flap your jaws and say “send more Guard troops” but it is harder in reality. Remember, the guardsmen have regular full-time civilian jobs, and when they get called up for state duty for a year on a moment’s notice, their job and their family life gets totally upended. Without federal benefits like guaranteeing their job is there when they get back (which does not work so well for the self-employed). Do you want Texas to guarantee this and fill in the income differentials? Please, come to Texas, and help us pay our taxes. I would like Abbott to be more hardline and conservative than he is, but I don’t think he’s a “squish.”

And why is it just Abbott’s (or just Texas’s) problem to fix? As you say, Biden is trying to wreck the whole country. Where is Indiana in this? Where are you? Heck, move to Texas and join the Guard! Don’t be a squish!

Or donate a few dollars - or a few thousand - through that link I posted earlier to buy a wall panel or fund a Guardsman. Have you written your letter yet to the Indiana Governor demanding he send the Indiana national guard and/or law enforcement officers to help? Remember, this isn’t just Texas’s problem.

Or say, howzabout providing an address in Indiana to send a few busses to? I’ll make sure Greg gets it.

The governor is sending more buses to pick up folks in El Paso and Eagle Pass, in addition to Brownsville, Del Rio, Laredo, and McAllen. Donate generously!

El Paso at 'breaking point' as 2K migrants a day flood Texas border

The mayor of El Paso, Texas says his city is at its breaking point as 2,000 migrants per day stream across its border.

www.dailymail.co.uk

Since Texas is in major trouble they should probably start flying, and shipping them via train and ship to New York, and California.

Maybe he will send about 20 bus loads to Minnesota and drop them off at the Mall of America before winter sets in.

Biden has secretly been letting hundreds of thousands of illegals fly into certain cities across America...but won't tell us which cities...

A little-known part of the Biden administration’s CBP One parole program permits inadmissible [Ed.: Illegal] aliens to make an appointment to fly directly to airports in the interior of the United States, bypassing the border altogether. Partial data on the program, just obtained by the Center for immigration Studies pursuant to a Freedom of Information Act request, reveals that more than 200,000 people from four countries have used this direct-flight and parole program over the past year.
***
[O]ne of the least noticed, mysterious, and potentially the most controversial of the new rechanneling programs that use the CBP One app allows migrants to take commercial passenger flights from foreign countries straight to their American cities of choice, flying right over the border — and even over Mexico. For this measure, Cubans, Venezuelans, Nicaraguans, Haitians, and Colombians — while they are still in countries south of Mexico — request “advance travel authorizations” through the same CBP One mobile app and take commercial flights (“at their own expense”) directly into U.S. airports, where U.S. Customs officers parole them into the nation, sight unseen, and in numbers publicly unknown...

The Texas/Mexico border is over 1200 miles long. That is more than the whole Indiana border. How do you propose that Texas patrol that? 12,000 men is not even 10 per mile.

random low level carpet bombing with B52s following the border zone?

I know how it works, thanks for the explanation.

Where is Indiana in this? Where are you? Heck, move to Texas and join the Guard! Don’t be a squish!

I was, got out in 2008. Anything else?

Or say, howzabout providing an address in Indiana to send a few busses to? I’ll make sure Greg gets it.

What the **** are you talking about? Its been fun, done with your conversation. Have had my fill of chatting with an Abbott fanboy.

At some point, we need to recognize this as what it is, an invasion, economic warfare. There is only one way to deal with an invasion. You have to make the risk much much worse than the reward, and the defense must be cheaper than letting the invasion continue. Unfortunately with every ground war, a lot of freedoms will be stepped on.

And you know the first freedoms that will be stepped on will go in numerical order. 1st amendment, 2nd amendment, etc.

It is a government assisted invasion. The government wants different subjects…

You put private citizens on private land with full state immunity. That takes those miles off the 1200 total.

Eventually NYC will run out of hotels or maybe the money to pay for them...

Wonder how much of OUR tax dollars pay for this?
