Gov. Abbott signs bill allowing arrest, removal of illegals by state authorities

Texas Republican Gov. Greg Abbott on Monday signed a measure to make illegal entry into the Lone Star State a state crime, giving state law enforcement a potentially pivotal tool to combat illegal immigration on its own amid perceived federal apathy.

The law, which is slated to take effect in March, would empower Texas law enforcement to arrest illegal entrants and grant judges the ability to order their deportation, CNN reported.

Under Abbott's leadership, Texas has conducted a unilateral effort to enforce its border dubbed "Operation Lone Star" that has prompted legal battles with federal government, including a dispute over the deployment of a buoy barrier in the Rio Grande river.

The governor has further pursued a policy of bussing illegals to sanctuary cities in blue states in a bid to highlight the Biden administration's lax approach to border enforcement. The scheme cleared more than 50,000 illegals sent to sanctuary cities in October, with more than 18,000 heading to New York City alone.

Earlier this year, Abbott called on other state governors to deploy their National Guard forces to the border to aid Texas's efforts.

We’re going to need a bigger catapult to shoot them back across the river.

Did the Biden occupation sue him yet?

BTW I was watching that movie from 1984 “Red Dawn”, pretty funny movie. I was thinking they should do a remake. The commies take over education and the democrap party and work with China to destroy the country, but who would EVER believe THAT could happen, ha ha!

Say all you want about Abbott but he’s the one who threw the monkey wrench in the monkey’s sanctuary plans when he sent a load of these freeloaders up to the Martha’s Vinyard sanctuary. That was a real hoot. I went through a 100 pound burlap sack of popcorn watching that comedy. Those Vinyarders turned out to be the world’s biggest band of hypocrites.

The Feds removed the river barrier and cut the razor wire so why will this be different?

This is more republican kabuki theater. If they really meant it the law would’ve went into effect immediately. What is the three month waiting period for?

They did do a Red Dawn remake, and the original villain was China, but CCP pressure had Hollywood switch the villain to North Korea.

But if they did do a remake, imagine the pearl clutching if it showed politicians, media, and military brass compromised by the CCP allowing and even assisting China in an attempted invasion.

Milius in the original did have the quisling mayor.....
