Media Very Upset Texas Is Using Disaster Declaration To Secure The Border

Really, Greg Abbott should ship many busloads to the leading news outlets. Drop them off at the home offices, see if ABC News, CNN, NY Times, etc will offer to feed and shelter the illegals. And at the US home office of the Associated Press, 200 Liberty Street, NYC

Texas is using disaster declarations to install buoys and razor wire on the US-Mexico border

Wrecking ball-sized buoys on the Rio Grande. Razor wire strung across private property without permission. Bulldozers changing the very terrain of America’s southern border.

For more than two years, Texas Republican Gov. Greg Abbott has escalated measures to keep migrants from entering the U.S., pushing legal boundaries with a go-it-alone bravado along the state’s 1,200-mile (1,930-kilometer) border with Mexico. Now blowback over the tactics is widening, including from within Texas.

state trooper’s account of officers denying migrants water in 100-degree Fahrenheit (37.7 Celsius) temperatures and razor wire leaving asylum-seekers bloodied has prompted renewed criticism. The Mexican government, some Texas residents along the border and the Biden administration are pushing back. On Monday, the U.S. Justice Department sued Abbott over the buoy barrier that it says raises humanitarian and environmental concerns, asking a federal court to require Texas to dismantle it.

They can get their own water. They voluntarily trekked through Central America to show up. If they’re worried about getting hurt, don’t try and cross into the U.S. at non-designated points. This is on them. It’s the government’s job to defend the nation from invasion

Abbott, who cruised to a third term in November while promising tougher border crackdowns, has used disaster declarations as the legal bedrock for some measures.

The article spends pretty much no time explaining the declarations, but, they go back several years, such as the one he renewed in 2021. Texas counties have declared them, as well. How many laws has Biden broken with his open borders policy? Since he won’t enforce these laws the governor of Texas should have the right to use any means necessary, short of armed conflict, to keep illegal’s out. Why should Texas have to foot the bill for Bidens illegal policies?

Anyhow, many illegal aliens supporters, like the ACLU, are very upset with Abbott, but, aren’t offering to shelter and feed the illegals themselves. Regardless, the goal here is to control the border, a core duty of the government. Especially the Congress. It’s written in the Constitution, and, since they make the laws, it’s up to the Executive Branch to enforce those laws.

    Why? If they are actually “asylum-seekers”, they shouldn’t be climbing over razor wire. If you’re going to wander around the DESERT southwest, and you do NOT provide for your own water supply, how does that obligate the US?

    President Biden didn’t have to do anything but maintain President Trump’s border policies, and Governor Abbott wouldn’t have had to take action.

    The left are constantly screaming that President Trump broke the law, and has to be Held Accountable, but somehow, some way, they aren’t the least bit interested that President Biden isn’t doing his legal duty, and defending our borders.

      Mr Dana: President Biden didn’t have to do anything but maintain President Trump’s border policies

      President Trump was defeated in the 2020 election.

      strong>Mr Dana: Governor Abbott wouldn’t have had to take action

      The Governor didn’t “have to take action”, but chose to.

      Mr Dana: they aren’t the least bit interested that President Biden isn’t doing his legal duty, and defending our borders

      To be Held Accountable must be a matter of degree. The number of US-Mexico border migrant encounters were incredibly low under President Obama, and shot up under Trump. They have increased further under President Biden. All Trump had to do was maintain President Obama’s border policies.

    Dearest Elwood:

    “Mr Dana: President Biden didn’t have to do anything but maintain President Trump’s border policies

    President Trump was defeated in the 2020 election.”

    Laying aside that the election was stolen..

    Trump boot strapped the Covid vaccines.

    Should Biden have stopped them???
