Hyperbole has never been my style. I balk every four years when I hear how THIS presidential election is the most important of our lifetime. Passionate political commentators have said that about every election since Bush-Dukakis.I cringe when I hear about this or that being the most important battle in generations… except for now since I’m the one saying it.

It’s not just our sovereignty at stake with a border invasion in progress. That alone...

The flood of migrants at the border continued in October with nearly 300,000 contacts/gotaways reported by Customs and Border Patrol. Abbott: “I invoked the Invasion Clauses of the U.S. & Texas Constitutions to fully authorize Texas to take unprecedented measures to defend our state against...

Joe Biden is letting one of the largest illegal migrant caravans in history move into the U.S., with no effort to stop it. Texas's governor, Greg Abbott, isn't. According to a very interesting report by Todd Bensman of the Center for Immigration Studies, the record-sized 15,000-strong caravan has run into interference from the Texas governor and his counterpart in the adjacent Mexican state of Coahuila, who had the foresight to sign an agreement in April about border security. Bensman writes: AUSTIN, Texas — When Mexico last week granted federal humanitarian travel permits to 15,000 U.S.-bound third-country migrants who’d formed the...
