Texas Lieutenant Governor David Dewhurst announced a Texas-led three-week effort that he says reduced illegal immigration, smuggling, and human trafficking to a standstill in the Rio Grande River section of the U.S./Mexico border.
The Lt. Governor spoke with me in an interview for Breitbart News; he stated: “In the Rio Grande Valley sector, nearly nothing moved in those three weeks. We shut it down. We had teams of Texas law enforcement in the brush, high altitude aircraft, gun boats, and more," he explained. “Our intel revealed that the Gulf cartel was growing frustrated with our three-week effort.”“The border issue is just about dollars and cents,” Dewhurst said. “This proves Texas can do the job the federal government has refused to do — to invest in the border and shut it down from illegal activities that are hurting Texans and other Americans.” He added: "Texas will protect our own citizens and other Americans from the criminal gangs that are destabilizing our state and our nation.”

Yeah, the State can shut down selected sections for a limited time, there just are NOT enough resources available to shut it ALL down, permanently. The cartels are frustrated because they have to redo their 'normal' routes which of course cuts into their profit margin.
ReplyDeleteBorder security is a national defense issue - one of those 'pesky' duties enumerated in the Constitution. The Several States should NOT have to do it alone. Period.
Yes and they won't let them secede.
DeleteYou are right about that. The FedGov will not let us succeed. They (Holder & Co.) will come out next week with a Federal lawsuit claiming something. Just watch. We could keep it closed permanently. But it would take the methods of old. Where the Rangers would just shoot them as they slept.
Deleteshoot them as they slept.
DeleteSeems reasonable to me. :)
Sounds cheaper to! For what its worth. Thank you Texas! Somebody has to do the governments job
ReplyDeleteMight be, come to think of it.

It is clear our government is aiding the invasion of this country by terrorists. The Obama Administration is busy covering up their complicity allowing illegal aliens invading this country for political reasons. The administration wants millions of illegal aliens here so when Obama grants them all amnesty and the become instant democrats.
Call me crazy many have but the administration has a plan. The terrorists are being allowed into America for a reason. Obama needs a reason to declare martial law and once enough terrorists are here and causing problems, he can. Once that is done, he will give blanket amnesty to all illegals and become President for life.

Seems insane, but our president clearly is, so may well be. :)
