NO – NO – NO… Not THAT kind of Gold Rush!

One CBP agent showed me a cellphone video depicting “migrants” coming across the border while flashing middle fingers.

I recently traveled to give a speech. I stayed in a hotel where a group of U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents were also staying. I spoke to several, mostly men, but a couple were female. The average person I spoke to had been with the agency for over seven years.

Many people told me, all off the record, that before the Biden administration, they thoroughly enjoyed their job. Many were retired military members and felt that protecting the border allowed them to continue their service to the country. But now, several said they were “counting down the days until retirement.” Continue reading →

War Tensions: “Army of God” Convoy Heads To Southern Border

The war tensions are expanding. The “army of God” convoy is heading to the southern border as tensions elevate between President Joe Biden and Texas Governor Greg Abbott.

The “army of God” is a convoy of truckers siding with Greg Abbott. They have decided to embark on a journey from several locations across the Lower 48 to the southern border as tensions soar between the state of Texas and the Biden administration.

“Fellow citizens and compatriots … I call on you in the name of liberty, of patriotism and everything dear to the American character to come to our aid with all dispatch,” Pete Chambers, one of the coalition’s leaders, wrote. “If this call is neglected, we are determined to sustain ourselves as long as possible and act like soldiers who never forget what is due to our own honor and that of our country.”

The convoy plans to “send a message” to all levels of the ruling class about the need to secure the board amid the multi-year invasion of millions of illegals. Chambers believes Americans are “besieged on all sides” by evil “dark forces.”… (Continue to full article)

HALF of all US governors side with Texas in border dispute over security and say he is leaving country open to ‘invasion’ from illegal migrants

Over half of America’s governors are backing Texas’ Greg Abbott in his bitter standoff with President Joe Biden over who should have the authority to apprehend migrants at the border.

Abbott reasserted the state’s right to protect its own border after the Supreme Court ruled the Biden administration could take down razor wire Texas had installed along high-traffic areas of the border. Meanwhile Texas Border Czar Mike Banks told ranchers Wednesday the state could install razor wire on their private property free of charge, the state official told a packed room of ranchers who met just outside of Eagle Pass, Texas.

Abbott said the federal government failed at its duty to enforce laws and states had every right to step in to protect their borders… (Continue to full article)

‘Terrifying’ video of border crosser saying ‘you are going to know who I am’ is another reminder that Biden’s policies are letting terrorists come into the U.S.

A shocking viral video of a migrant crossing illegally into the U.S. and issuing an eery warning displays the ‘terrifying’ reality of Biden’s border policies, says a top Republican.

The video shows what appears to be a Middle Eastern migrant giving an ominous warning to a reporter after crossing the U.S.-Mexico border into Arizona.

‘If you were smart enough, you’d know who I am,’ the migrant says. ‘But you are really not smart enough to know who I am.’… (Continue to full article)

OPINION: Texas’ Border Stunt A clash between Texas and the Biden administration over who controls the Texas-Mexico border continues to escalate

This comes in response to a recent Supreme Court decision , where the court allowed federal officials to dismantle a wire barrier along the border, prompting a legal battle initiated by Texas. Texas argued that this action, aimed at aiding migrants, infringes on state sovereignty and damages Texas security measures.

In response to this decision, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott released a letter arguing that Texas has a right to control the border and that it supersedes federal government control. Abbott’s accusation that the federal government has breached the Constitution by having “broken the compact between the United States and the States” is almost identical to South Carolina’s 1860 declaration of secession… (Continue to full article)

Rulers Send Troops To Texas Amid “Civil War” Fears

Members of the ruling class of certain states have sent troops to Texas in case a civil war breaks out with the federal ruling class. Lines have been drawn and the naive slaves are already siding with which master they want to be ruled by.

The rulers of multiple states began sending personnel and resources months ago to combat increased migrant encounters at the United States-Mexico border, with one state saying “nothing is off the table” as tensions threaten to boil over between Texas Governor Greg Abbott and the Biden administration.

Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt, one of the 25 who signed the letter, told Newsmax on Thursday: “I mean right now you’ve got the federal agents who are cutting the wire and then you’ve got the Texas National Guard on orders to put up wire, this is a powder keg worth of tension. It’s a very weird situation, we certainly stand with Texas on the right to defend themselves.”… (Continue to full article)

Biden Blackmail Intensifies: Won’t Shut Border Until Congress Coughs Up Ukraine, Israel Funds
As Republican governors circle the wagon around Texas, President Biden on Saturday doubled down on a reluctant agreement to secure the southern US border – but only if if Congress passes a bipartisan bill that would also allocate funds for Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan, and would still allow as many as 150,000 illegal crossings per month!

“If that bill were the law today I’d shut down the border right now and fix it quickly and bring a bipartisan bill that would be good for America and help fix our broken immigration system and allow speedy access for those who deserve to be here,” Biden said, according to Fox News’

Except, as many have pointed out, Biden doesn’t need Congress, or the bill, to do that right now… (Continue to full article)

Biden Sets Deadline as Half US Governors Support Texas
Biden has given Texas Governor Greg Abbott a 24-hour deadline to allow federal agents to clear out Eagle Pass or “face consequences,” according to Texas Congressman Wesley Hunt.

Half of US governors, including Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis are siding with Texas in the border dispute saying, “Biden is leaving country ‘vulnerable’ to illegal immigration.”… (Continue to full article)

Protest Convoy Headed to Southern Border Is Calling Itself an ‘Army of God’
A trucker convoy of “patriots” is heading to the U.S. border with Mexico next week, as the standoff between Texas and the federal government intensifies.

The organizers of the “Take Our Border Back” convoy have called themselves “God’s army” and say they’re on a mission to stand up against the “globalists” who they claim are conspiring to keep U.S. borders open and destroy the country.

“This is a biblical, monumental moment that’s been put together by God” … (Continue to full article)

Feds Back Down, Won’t Remove Razor Wire at Border

Border Patrol has “no plans” to remove razor wire placed by Texas along the southern border, a senior Customs and Border Protection (CBP) official told Fox News on Friday, stressing a “strong” relationship with Texas despite an ongoing legal battle between the state and the administration.

But this BATTLE goes on… (Continue to full article)

The MAGA Truckers Are Back — And Heading to the Border
A convoy of Jesus-loving truckers will converge on the southern border next week in a battle to stop what they say is a migrant “invasion,” as Texas remains locked in a standoff with the feds over razor wire it installed along the Rio Grande in Eagle Pass.

But the event—called the “Take Our Border Back Convoy” and promoted by far-right media — is advertised as a “peaceful assembly” of active and former law enforcement, military, ranchers, bikers, business owners, and “Mama Bears.”… (Continue to full article)

GOP Governors Have Already Sent Troops to Texas Amid ‘Civil War’ Fears

Multiple Republican-led states began sending personnel and resources months ago to combat increased migrant encounters at the U.S.-Mexico border, with one state saying “nothing is off the table” as tensions bubble between Texas Governor Greg Abbott and the Biden administration.

Abbott has voiced displeasure over Monday’s 5-4 Supreme Court decision, which vacated an injunction from an appeals court and allowed federal Border Patrol agents to remove razor wire installed at the border by Texas officials under Abbott’s direction. It does not prevent Texas from erecting new wire… (Continue to full article)

Supreme Court not done with border issue while Texas vows to ‘hold the line’
Monday’s decision in which the U.S. Supreme Court sided with the Biden administration against Texas efforts to secure a lengthy section of southern border won’t change those efforts in the short term, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott vowed.

It’s a topic the nine justices could face again with deciding if President Joe Biden’s refusal to stem to flow of illegals crossing the border constitutes an invasion or is a question of immigration.

For now, the Supremes reversal of an appellate ruling means federal Border Patrol agents can cut concertina wire, installed by the the State of Texas to stop illegal immigrants, while litigation continues… (Continue to full article)

Biden endorses emerging deal to give US new power to clamp down on border crossings

Senate negotiators have agreed to empower the US to significantly restrict illegal migrant crossings at the southern border, according to sources familiar with the matter, a move aimed at ending the migrant surge that has overrun federal authorities over the past several months.

Under the soon-to-be-released package, the Department of Homeland Security would be granted new emergency authority to shut down the border if daily average migrant encounters reach 4,000 over a one-week span… (Continue to full article)

A city of 710,000 struggles to cope with 40,000 migrant arrivals
Nearly 40,000 migrants have arrived in Denver over the past year, making a city with a population of just over 710,000 the top destination per capita for newly arrived migrants crossing the U.S. southern border and traveling north in buses from Texas.

The influx is taking a toll on the city’s public safety net. Starting Feb. 5, Denver will limit the number of days migrants can stay in shelters and send those who exceed their stay out onto the streets… (Continue to full article)

Denver Officials Conduct Two Sweeps of Migrant Encampment in One Week
Denver city officials have conducted two sweeps of a migrant encampment located at 51st and Emerson streets within a span of just one week. This move is part of efforts to enforce the camping ban on Denver-owned park property. The actions have sparked discussions about the challenges posed by increasing migrant arrivals in the city.

The initial sweep took place last week, and on Monday, Denver Parks rangers discovered unattended items, including tents, still occupying park property. In response, a 48-hour notice of removal was issued to address the presence of these items… (Continue to full article)

Ex-FBI officials warn Congress of ‘new and imminent’ border danger: ‘The country has been invaded‘
A coalition of former FBI officials has issued a warning about a “new and imminent danger” for the U.S. at the southern border, suggesting the country has “been invaded” by military-age foreign nationals.

In a letter sent last week to congressional leaders in the House and Senate, the retired officials “express our concern about a current, specific threat that may be one of the most pernicious ever to menace the United States.”

The letter warns “the United States is facing a new and imminent danger”… (Continue to full article)

Many Fear We’re on the Brink of Civil War as GOP Governors of 25 States Stand with Gov. Abbott
The border policy standoff between Texas Governor Greg Abbott and the Biden administration has reached a new level of intensity, drawing support from a coalition of 25 Republican governors who back Abbott’s efforts to secure the state’s border.

After Landing on the Beach in San Diego, Illegal Immigrants Vanish

Before officials could capture them, more than 20 illegal immigrants were seen on camera entering a San Diego beach by boat early on Thursday morning and then fleeing into the streets of La Jolla.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) reports that at around 5:30 a.m., the Joint Harbor Operations Center alerted CBP law enforcement agents about “two suspicious vessels” bringing suspected illegal migrants towards Ocean Beach, and about two hours later, Windansea Beach.

However, when CBP Air and Marine and U.S. Border Patrol agents arrived, all they discovered were the abandoned boats… (Continue to full article)

Biden Admin Has Released 6.2 Million Illegal Migrants into U.S. in 3 Years, Often Through ‘Parole’ Loophole‘I’m quite offended’
The 2023 inflow included 900,000 migrants who were released after they walked up to official border gates plus 1.1 million migrants who were released after they crossed through gaps in the border wall, said the CBO agency, which acts as an advisor to Capitol Hill legislators.

Roughly half of those migrants — 1.1 million — were let into the country by October 1, via Biden’s use of the “parole” loophole in border law, the CBO reported. Biden and his Democrat allies are now trying to expand the parole doorway… (Continue to full article)

‘This is not over,’ Texas says after Supreme Court lets Biden administration remove razor wire at US-Mexico border
Razor wire is still up along a contested section of the US-Mexico border a day after the US Supreme Court voted to let federal Border Patrol agents remove the barrier installed there as part of Texas’ Republican governor’s security initiative while the state’s legal challenge to the wire-cutting plays out.

A CNN team in Eagle Pass, Texas – recently the epicenter of the migrant crisis and near where three migrants drowned this month – spotted the razor wire Tuesday morning. The high court ruled 5-4 on Monday in a victory for President Joe Biden in the ongoing dispute with Texas over whether Border Patrol has the legal authority to cut concertina wire installed by Texas on the banks of the Rio Grande… (Continue to full article)

The Texas National Guard responds to the Supreme Court’s order to remove the razor wire in Eagle Pass by installing even more.
Governor Abbott has said “Texas will not back down” as it defends its border.

The recent actions of the Texas National Guard in response to the Supreme Court’s order have sparked a heated debate among the public. The Guard’s decision to install even more razor wire in Eagle Pass, despite the court’s order to remove it, has raised several questions about the state’s authority and its conflict with federal laws.

One reader pointed out that it might not be the National Guard, but the Texas Guard that is responsible for the action. This highlights the complexity of the situation and the potential confusion over the roles of different state agencies… (Continue to full article)

Stand-off on the Rio Grande: Texas National Guard faces off against the federal government in a fight over razor wire
A tense standoff between Texas National Guard troops and the federal government escalated on Tuesday after the state’s military said it would “hold the line” in a battle for control of a stretch of the border with Mexico.

The long-running power struggle between the once-independent state and the Biden administration was sparked by Texas authorities placing razor wire at a park on the banks of the Rio Grande that has seen high numbers of illegal crossings. Last week, the Texas National Guard blocked federal border patrol troops from entering the area in the town of Eagle Pass, accusing them of destroying the fortifications… (Continue to full article)

51st Texas county declares invasion at southern border
One day after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled against the state of Texas in a legal battle with the federal government over wire barriers at the border, Montgomery County officials unanimously passed a resolution declaring an invasion and expressing support for Gov. Greg Abbott’s border security mission, Operation Lone Star.

After the vote Tuesday, Montgomery County Judge Mark Keough said he wanted to say something “in response to the Supreme Court ruling yesterday to allow Border Patrol agents to remove Texas barriers. I believe it is time for Texas to show some civil disobedience… (Continue to full article)

BORDER SHOWDOWN: Texas Defies Feds — ‘We Will Continue to Deploy Razor Wire’
The Texas Military Department says it will continue to “hold the line in Shelby Park” in their efforts to “deter and prevent unlawful entry into the State of Texas.” Under Operation Lone Star orders from Governor Greg Abbott, the Texas National Guard’s actions continue despite a second demand letter from the Department of Homeland Security to release control of the park seized by the State earlier this month. Governor Abbott pledged to continue deploying razor wire along the Rio Grande border with Mexico.

Shortly after DHS officials issued a second letter to Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton demanding accesses to Shelby Park in Eagle Pass, Texas, a defiant Governor Abbott posted, “We will continue to deploy this razor wire to repel illegal immigration.”… (Continue to full article)
