Razor Wire Results in ‘Massive Reduction’ of Illegal Immigrants Into Texas:
Epoch Times ^

Posted on 02/05/2024 1:14:40 PM PST by Ronaldus Magnus III

Installing razor wire along the U.S.-Mexico border has led to a “massive reduction” of illegal immigrants crossing into the United States, according to state governor Greg Abbott, who said he has widespread support for the defensive measure.

“More than half of the governors are now joined together in support of a very important proposition. And that is, we are guaranteed by the United States Constitution the right of self-defense if states face imminent harm or invasion,” Gov. Abbott said in an interview with Fox News on Sunday.

Interesting. I did not know that. That explains a lot. So basically Arizona and Commiefornia need to close off their borders and the problem is solved. But of course, good luck getting them to do that.

At least California asked for them.

Why don't come through New Mexico too? I've asked that question several times in FR but no one provides an answer.

The NM border is extremely rough country. Hard desert. The kind you don't want to walk through. Most of the traffic, (from what I've read) is bussed within 5 miles of the border. There are literally no roads along a lot of that stretch in NM. Just hot by day, and cold by night. Hope that helps!

Sure doesn’t appear to be that way...all news stories show them climbing under, around, over and through the razor wire - even with tools to cut it. After they cut it, hundreds, probably thousands pour through...

Put the pressure on Hobbs in Arizona. Excellent plan!

Cool beans, now we just need to put razor wire around Californicatue, but that’s been needed for decades anyway.

“Why don’t come through New Mexico?”

Some do, following I-25
and state road 285 north
from Ft Stockton by vehicle.
Resources for invaders are
few and far between. Water
available only from stock
tanks (if traveling by foot).
Distances between New
Mexico’s larger cities is
the main reason there aren’t
many coming thru this
corridor.

The moat’s already there. Just stock it with ‘gators and piranha fish, and maybe lasers on their heads, too. But that might prevent them from mating and multiplying. And the piranha might just eat the ‘gators, so it might be one or the other, but not both, and no lasers.

If they get too aggressive, just call on Amos Moses. He’ll hit ‘em on the head with his stump.

So barricades work? Well, who would have thunk it.

Aside from everybody.

Land mines.

Needs less people to man them.

In New Mexico at the beginning of the Biden administration we had a lot of illegals and they were mostly women and I think they were mostly for the sex trade.

The California libs are just like Biden they let them through they don’t care they think they’re going to get votes.

Our governor and Biden are besties so maybe she’s asked him to go easy on New Mexico. She’s already unpopular I’m pretty sure she won the governorship the way Biden won the presidency so maybe she doesn’t want people being mad at her.

I know Gabe Vasquez was all for the land grab in our county and he’s seeing how much pushback he’s getting and all of a sudden he’s sitting on the fence and yes I think he won the same way that our governor and Biden won.

Oh yeah and most importantly we had a whole lot of fence completely built.

I know I’m giving a lot of reasons and I don’t know this for a fact but I think they protect the drug trade in the far South West corner. Those guys just want to pass the drugs along and get back home and get another load.

Good walls, good razor wire, and machine guns pointing south make good neighbors.

It is 100% temporary, however good it works. They’ll simply just start having a person or 2 bring wire cutters.
