Texas Border Invasion Standoff

[Carrot of Truth]

Why is it too much to ask for our politicians to do their damn jobs?

Oh right. Because instead of doing something about it, we sit around bitching and they know they can get away with it.

That complacency only works until some nutjob goes out and does something and the people agree with said nutjob.

I am amazed that the Ds are so brazen that instead of trying to pass a law to legalize entry. They are literally openly saying they are letting illegals in.
As in, they are literally admitting to breaking the law.

Remember they literally arrested trump over the nonsense with having files at home. (something every president does, biden included. and has the right to do. and has the authority to declassify).

Meanwhile they openly and brazenly conspire to break the law

 

[Bigking321]

biden included.

Biden actually didn't. He had the classified stuff when he wasn't president and couldn't have declassified anything.

That does not mean he didn't.
It is an additional charge / act.
Ok, so you say biden did it even before he became president.
But now he is president and still doing it.

Once again, Kentucky is a "Border State" in the old meaning lol:

Basically the best idea I can come up with is alongside getting the wall finished (wish we could Theodosian Walls this bitch, but that might be a touch expensive), have holding centres set up for those that slip through, surrounded by barbed wire and armed guards with dogs.

These would not be death camps as food and medical aid would certainly be provided, but the conditions would be cramped and miserable. As these people entered the United States illegally, they’d be told their asylum application may take years. In the meantime, every day as the guards make their rounds, the inmates will be told “tell us who you are and where you are from, and you’ll be on a plane home tonight. If your country is actually a war torn shithole or totalitarian nightmare, we’ll deposit you in the nearest safe country.”

Whereafter, the inmates are transferred to a US Airforce base where they are flown out on USAF chartered aircraft. Let the activists try to sabotage that deportation.

That's basically what Australia does: They pay the governments of many of the smaller micronation islands and island nations to have detention centers set up, and if you're caught trying to illegally come to Australia in a boat, you're not rescued and brought to shore like our (UK) shitty border control and RNLI but dumped in one of these centers until you're processed.

And processing can take months, and in the meantime they live in conditions not out of place of a third-world shithole (cramped rooms, bad food, no entertainment, et cetera).

When Australia implemented this "inhumane" coughlaughcough policy, the sheer amount of illegal migration attempts plummeted to single digit levels; when they temporarily tried stopping these policies, it shot right back up again.

Gee, I wonder why?

Pay Haiti = Hunger solved as migrants eaten.
Pay Jamaica = Never see migrants again as too high to make it out of the country.

I don't know enough Caribbean stereotypes to make more for these.

Because they know the Republicans want to go back to being graceful losers and that the rest of us aren’t at the point we’ll do anything. Partially because we’re stupidly waiting for the grillbros to wake up when we don’t really need to-most of them just go with the flow of what is around them.

I mean, the dude literally just defied the entire Federal Government and did it successfully, the first time a State has won a nullification crisis in American History.

"We have never seen the point that we have right now, " said immigration attorney Haim Vasquez. "Never to that point to where we have the Texas National Guard, agents from DPS basically blocking the entrance and taking authority or control of the border."




On Monday the Supreme Court said the federal government has the authority to remove razor wire that Texas installed at the southern border. Homeland Security said Texas had until Friday to give federal authorities access to Eagle Pass. But Governor Abbott is doubling down saying he'll increase state patrol of the border, adding more barriers and more razor wire.




"We are at a very critical issue right now because we're testing, really, the essence of the Republic of the United States and whether or not the Supreme Court has authority, whether states have to abide or find a way to interpret it the way that they want," said Vasquez.




On Friday, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton refused the federal government's request for access to the border and demanded proof that the federal government has the authority to turn a Texas park into a port of entry.




Vasquez says we'll have to wait and see who takes action next.




"If the federal government backs down from this, they completely will lose the authority they have on Supreme Court precedent," said Vasquez.​

The sanctuary cities already set the precedent for defying federal authority years ago.

The fact that Greg Abbott has a page on the world economic forum webpage and has refused to denounce them makes me suspicious of him and all this.

Edit- word

 

[The Whispering Monk]

You know...now that I think about it...if I were in power somehow, I'd want to be on the WEF's member list just so I can get all their emails. I'd want to know what these idiots are thinking and planning so I can counter it.

Of course, when they ask me why what I did went against their goals I'd say, "Really?! I thought this would help bring attention to your efforts as a counterpoint so that we can all see how horribly my area of control goes."

at this point I think the WEF knows they can slap someone's name on the list to cause a stir with the dissident right. Look at what he has done in the past and judge him. He has been in office for 5 years at this point. we got a track record. it ain't perfect but we can see it.

Fair points. Though I did say I was only ‘suspicious’ not certain of him being an enemy.

 

[Lord Sovereign]

The WEF are a current in the modern river of power. Like it or not, big fish or small fish, you will have to swim in that at some point.

That aside, the WEF are weirdoes with too much money but I think some people blow them out of proportion. Our current patrician class are wrecking our countries quite handily without their help.

I would be more worried of that can I see.

BUT...

OBSERVED FROM AFAR (ITALY) he is better than my CURRENT GOVERNOR AND THE MAYOR of the region where I live.

So tell all immigrants that they will be kept in a detention center while their papers are processed. For entertainment they can watch all of the Sesame Street they want. We will outsource their meals to the same company that serves the USMC...and medical care will start with a free Covid 19 vaccine injection.

Definitely following this discussion thread. My Bold Prediction: Texas wins the standoff as the Biden administration is completely fucking incompetent.
