Amidst an explosive surge in illegal immigration thanks to Joe Biden’s lenient and absent-minded policies, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott is deploying all necessary resources to “high-threat areas” along the southern border.
The program is called Operation Lone Star, in which Texas National Guard and Department of Public Safety state troopers aim to restore law and order along the border, as well as prevent drug smuggling and human trafficking by cartels, according to BizPacReview.
“The crisis at our southern border continues to escalate because of Biden Administration policies that refuse to secure the border and invite illegal immigration,” Abbott said in a statement.
“Texas supports legal immigration but will not be an accomplice to the open border policies that cause, rather than prevent, a humanitarian crisis in our state and endanger the lives of Texans. We will surge the resources and law enforcement personnel needed to confront this crisis,” he added.
Even some on team-left are worried about the situation at the border. Democrat Congressman Henry Cuellar of Texas said last week that the Border Patrol detained 10,000 illegal immigrants in just the Rio Grande Valley Sector in a period of one week.
“We are weeks, maybe even days, away from a crisis on the southern border. Inaction is simply not an option. Our country is currently unprepared to handle a surge in migrants in the middle of the pandemic,” he said in a statement.
On his first day of office, Joe Biden signed several executive orders aimed at protecting and encouraging illegal immigrants. These orders included halting construction of the border wall, reinstating the “catch and release” program and others.
Then, as expected, chaos followed.
When Trump left office, the U.S. was deporting more people than were coming into the country illegally. But, under Biden, the number of people illegally coming into the country is more than 6,000 per day.
That is six times more than the 1,000 person level set by Obama’s team to signify a crisis.
Ironically enough, the individuals that set that standard were none other than Joe Biden and Alejandro Mayorkas, then deputy secretary of Homeland Security.
And, the thousands of illegal immigrants coming into the United States are for the most part not being tested for COVID-19.
President Donald Trump said it best: “The spiraling tsunami at the border is overwhelming local communities, depleting budgets, crowding hospitals, and taking jobs from legal American workers. When I left office, we had achieved the most secure border in our country’s history.”

U.S. Constitution
Article IV
Section 4
The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened) against domestic Violence.
I believe 20 million illegal immigrants, illegally crossing our U.S. borders qualifies as an invasion.
Therefore the President and Congress are violating our U.S. Constitution.
Biggest problem what that is that they are in charge and have to accuse themselves of a violation of our constitution. That has about as much chance as America experiencing another honest election. That is unless the GOP grows some courage and does what the majority of America voted for.
Courage?
Testicular fortitude is more like it.
Too late – the so-called 11 million figure from 20 years ago they keep using is more like 40 million by now and we just gained another 150 thousand (the Border Patrol thinks) in the past 6 weeks, and the caravans are just getting cranked up. Were all those 150 thousand tested for Covid? What do you think? We have to be the dumbest civilization on Earth.
We’ve already been told those who HAVE been tested, over 140 have tested POSITIVE…
AND who’s gonna punish them for violating it??
THE GOP? hell no.
The courts? Not likely.
The military, good luck…
Joe Biden, supporter of illegal aliens and communist China aka the destruction of the United States of America. Hey Joe, when the Chinese invade our Country, they will not have to invade by the sea, the Chinese can just invade through Mexico, into the United States, with our borders wide open. Joe Biden, as President, a criminal lawless President. China collusion, right Joe?
They, along with the muslim hordes, already are.
So true. MOST OF THEM are aliready INSIDE Our nation, no-thanks to OBAMA..
I’m really starting to like Texas Gov. Greg Abbott. He’s defending Texas the same way he has a right to defend his home. Hopefully the other border states will wake up and do the same.
The only think i’d like him to do BETTER< would be to tell the troops ARM UP AND SHOOT these damn invaders…
Time to Give Texas its wish and make it a country. I will move there to support that ideology with all my life power.
shoot to stop em.
C’mon man, can you blame them for trying to improve their lives? The REAL problem is all the stupid people who voted for the commie Democrats back in November (and GA in January), and those commie tools who finagled so many of the elections in key states.
WHAT exactly ar they trying to Improve?
