Texas Governor Greg Abbott has announced $250 million in initial funding for a state-constructed border wall, as his Florida counterpart Ron DeSantis dispatches law enforcement personnel to assist border patrols in Texas and Arizona. The moves announced on Wednesday signal that Republican governors are increasingly taking the surge in illegal border crossings into their own hands, as they accuse the Biden administration of dereliction. It follows new federal data showing that illegal crossings hit a 20-year high in May, when 180,034 migrants were detained at the southern border, the vast majority

Hopefully Granny Ivey will step up.
Get Miss’ippi and Louisiana to throw in, and we could form a Southern Country.

#1 - Yes, so true, and, there are more Americans who love our Constitutional Republic than hate it. The people who hate our country get more attention from the media because they are so chaotic. I love the "Trump Won" signs that are popping up all over the place. It's important that American citizens wake up (woke is past tense and not even grammatically correct) because there is too much to lose. Maybe our churches could get involved with our pastors and church members reminding us how quickly our Freedoms of Religion and Assembly were taken away from us with the covid threat.

Every republican governor needs to step up. I would contribute to TX in a heart beat to build that wall.

This is big news. States are starting to re-assert their sovereignty rights under the constitution and banding together in an alliance against the illegal and unconstitutional communist death democrat federal totalitarian leviathan which has been trying to destroy our country. Remember this government was formed by 13 States meeting and agreeing on a very limited federal government which has steadily and relentlessly over the past 90 years morphed into the obscene totalitarian monstrosity that it has become today.
Hopefully more and more states will now band together with Texas, Florida, and Arizona to seal off our borders which the communist federal government is failing to do, which was one of the fundamental responsibilities assigned to it by the States. By the States and by the Citizens of the Republic. and this pushback by the States should not stop at sealing the border. The States must refuse the unconstitutional grab by the communist federal government to rule over every single aspect of our lives. The control of Education, Welfare, Voting Safeguards, Environmental, Energy, the list seems endless, must be taken back by the States. We must get the communist federal government out of our lives. Write to your governors and urge them to join in this effort to save our Country. We are now approaching very shortly the status of "Give me Liberty or give me Death! None of us wants this but we may not have a choice if we want to be a free country today and especially in the future for our children and grandchildren. Remember we are in the majority and we must not let them Divide and Conquer us rather we must crush this communist menace once and for all so people like Pelosi, Schumer, McConnell, McCarthy, Sanders can no longer occupy positions of power.
Free America!

Dear Gov Abbott, You never had him on your side. Yours is a RED state and you are a Republican. Obama showed Biden how to do this — It's called helping your enemies fail while smiling and looking friendly — and is an old Democrat tradition.

Abandoned? Biden was never with us. He started the illegal invasion on his first day in office and it's now setting records. But don't worry, Kamala is taking care of it, she told them not to come.

The Biden administration has not just abandoned the people of Texas. They have abandoned the entire nation with their policies blatantly ignoring immigration laws, as well as other laws that they choose to ignore. Biden is violating his oath of office.

I wonder why we are hearing nothing about the California border. We have 7-800,000 illegals crossing into Texas per month. Texas is being turned into a crowded cattle car. You cannot leave your home without running into mobs of people that want your stuff.

Xiden abandoned America 50 years ago; he just wasn’t in a position to do much about it until this year. Though the illegals started heading this way on November 4 even before the counting was competed. They already understand election fraud having lived with it in their home countries for decades and saw the writing on the wall.
I hope that Arizona and NM will join with Texas and fund their own walls. California will not, of course. And although we are not a border state, we have our share of illegals living here in SC, so I hope that Governor McMaster will follow Governor DeSantis in providing LEOs to Texas. And, #2, please don’t leave us out of a new Southern Country!

Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of our country. Truer words have never been spoken. Just remember this: not one Democrat has uttered a word of protest against these America-hating programs pushed by the demented Joe Biden and his band of pro-Muslim advisors

The situation created by democrat communist is a two edged sword. The left isolates themselves in blue sanctuary cities and Washington while the outsiders, Us, we the people, fend for ourselves. Keep the elites in Washington don't let them enter red states and ridicule them if they attempt to. Tell the likes of Kamala Harris to stay away go to a bakery, purchase cheese puffs at the grocery store but just don't go to the border and the border states. Shame them eventually they will have nowhere to travel to except to Europe. Obama is running the second phase of fundamentally changing America now it's in the destruction phase Joe Biden is just clueless reading scribbled notes Jill writes for him. Joe is still too stupid and wrong headed he has been that way all his life. Abbot should but up a No Trespassing sign for Washington elites to stay away they are useless and destructive to all states.

Will this wall also protect Texas from the hordes invading from the north?

This move by Abbott and DeSantis sets up a potentially epic legal battle. If the Feds try to intervene to block resumption of building the wall, a move they could attempt either by executive order or by getting some flunkie District Court judge to issue a court order to cease and desist, then we shall have arrived at “The Federalist Moment”. That moment would be characterized by a National government from Washington DC attempting to constrain a sovereign state(s) from spending its own money to build facilities intended solely to aid in the enforcement of laws enacted by that same national government which now objects to such enforcement. Even that yellowbelly Roberts would have to take this case. And he would have to vacate the order to cease and desist. After all, it was the yellowbelly himself who made such a stout defense of the idea that it’s not the Court’s job to provide a remedy in disputes where Congress already has it in its power to provide the remedy (the first Obamacare ruling).
If the national government wants to block the sovereign states from enforcing the laws made by the national government, then, for the love of Pete, change the law! Don’t come bellyaching to the courts.

Biden did not abandon Texas, he is just filling it up with new Democrat voters.

#20, if a judge orders Abbott to cease and desist he should do exactly what 0bama did when a judge ordered him to stop the ban on deep water drilling in the Gulf of Mexico…ignore the judge.

Unfortunately the land upon which Texas would build their borderline barrier will be US soil on both sides of the barrier. That means that by the time that when future illegal aliens touch the Texas borderline barrier they will have already accrued the full mantra of Constitutional Rights simply by being on US soil, meaning that Texas will have no jurisdiction to stop and arrest them for unlawfully entering the USA, an offense that is entirely within the Constitutional authority of the Federal Government to administer and enforce. That means that Biden can simply let those illegal aliens go free in Texas and there is nothing that the Texas State Government can do about that until the illegal aliens commit some sort of offense that is violation of a Texas law.
