Gov. Abbott Deploys Texas National Guard, State Troopers to Counter Biden’s ‘Open Border Policies’ Texas Governor Greg Abbott announced the deployment of the state’s National Guard and State Troopers to respond to the growing border crisis. Governor Abbott announced Operation Lone Star “to combat the smuggling of people and drugs into Texas” on Saturday. The operation will integrate the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) with the National Guard, Abbott said. He is ordering the deployment of air, ground, marine, and tactical border security assets to high threat areas. https://www.breitbart.com/border/20...opers-to-counter-bidens-open-border-policies/
Its from breitbart so don't know if its true. But just for the sake of argument lets say that it is. That way we can maybe actually advance a discussion instead of half the thread being about "eww! breitbart!!!". Shooting the messenger is sooo common now a days. So, assuming what was said was true....wonder how Biden will react to this? Think he'll sic the DOJ on em? Try and sue the State like Obama did with AZ? Since the stated reason is to "combat the smuggling of people and drugs into Texas" not sure if that particular route will be open though. But who knows...they may just bring out the trusty ole' "it disproportionately affects <insert race here>" mantra.
https://www.heritage.org/immigratio...ssings-now-6-times-what-obama-team-considered There is a catastrophic crisis that could add another quarter of a million to the population of illegal aliens in this country in less than a year. According to former officials in the Obama administration, the standard for a border crisis was 1,000 attempted crossings a day. Who was on the team that set that standard? President Joe Biden—then vice president—and Alejandro Mayorkas, then deputy secretary, and now secretary, of homeland security. When the Trump administration ended, the U.S. was deporting more people than were illegally coming into the country. In less than a month under Biden, the number of people illegally coming into the country is more than 6,000 per day—that’s six times the crisis level as set by the Obama team.
