The Gateway Pundit ^ | November 15, 2022 | Kristinn Taylor

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) declared an invasion on the Texas border with Mexico, invoking the U.S, and Texas constitutions. Over five million illegal aliens have crossed the U.S. southern border with Mexico since Joe Biden assumed the presidency on January 20, 2021 and threw out President Trump’s successful policies that had secured the border.

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 an invasion. I’m using that constitutional authority, & other authorization & Executive Orders to keep our state & country safe:” hi

Deploy the National Guard to safeguard the border, and to repel and turn back immigrants trying to cross the border illegally Deploy the Texas Dept. of Public Safety (DPS) to arrest and return immigrants to the border who crossed illegally, and to arrest illegal immigrants for criminal activity; Build a wall in multiple counties on the border; Deploy gun boats; Designate Mexican drug cartels as foreign terrorist organizations; Enter into a compact with other states to secure the border; Enter into agreements with foreign powers to enhance border security; Provide resources for border counties to increase their efforts to respond to the “border invasion.”

The old inter-German border offers some suggestions: barbed wire. Electrified wire. Machine gun towers. Anti-personnel mines. Attack dog runs. When my Dad got his country briefing, he was warned that if stranded in East Germany, DO NOT attempt to breach the East German border. You would die.

"He should have done this when he was first elected."

Absolutely agree. The GOP is only putting up token resistance to the Great Replacment.

So far in 2022: 2.76M
2021: Almost 1.7M ... over half of them from countries other than Mexico.

Interesting timing. Lake was promising to do this a couple of weeks ago and the day she “loses”, Abbott does this.

I grew up in GITMO. We had a fence topped with razor wire. After that a large minefield. There was a road through the middle of the minefield guarded by heavy firepower: 50 mm guns and worse.

Worked remarkably well. Some people swam the bay, but many were eaten by sharks.

Unfortunately, there are no fresh water sharks in the Rio Grande.

I knew a Marine who had been stationed at GITMO. He extended there, because the liberties for him were excellent, as a native Spanish speaker. He’d fly to neighboring islands for the SCUBA and the people. He said they’d watch the Cubans laying minefields outside the perimeter, then at night they’d go out and move the mines....

Enter into a compact with other states to secure the border;

No sharks?

No problem!

Enter into a compact with Florida to supply alligators for border protection.

Wait till the cartels start shooting. Then we’ll see who owns the border.

Good job Governor! Glad you are willing to stick your neck out and risk it all for the people of this nation. This is a historic declaration!
