Abbott Reacts to Biden’s Apathy at the Border

Guest Post by Martin Armstrong

Texas Governor Greg Abbott has done more to prevent America from invasion than the entire federal government. Abbott has explained countless times that the Biden Administration is simply lying to the American people by claiming that the situation is out of the president’s hands. More so, he rightfully believes the federal government is now, more than ever, INCENTIVIZING illegals to cross into our nation.

New York City Mayor Eric Adams requested and was approved to receive $53,000,000.00 to provide to illegal migrants. Every migrant will receive a free pre-paid debit card each month on top of the free shelter, healthcare, and electronics that the government has provided them. Homeless citizens, veterans even, do not receive this luxury. Adams said the program will save taxpayers in the state $7.2 million annually when there is no reason for citizens to pay for illegal aliens in the first place. The Associated Press posted a story to clarify that they are receiving debit cards and not credit cards, as if it is better that they will not be expected to repay.

“[The program] sounds like insanity is behind it because it really is offensive, it may be the most reprehensible thing that I’ve seen take place over the past 48 hours,” Greg Abbott told reporters, noting that these people have shown no respect for America or the legal system. “What’s going on in New York is outrageous and Americans across the country are angry, not just about what’s going on in New York, but the underlying cause for it, which is Joe Biden’s open border policies,” he said.

Biden has the power to secure the border immediately. Instead, he is incentivizing people from around the world to cross into US territory to receive their taxpayer-subsidized life.

“Biden says he needs Congress to give him the power to do whatever he needs to do to secure the border. The fact is as we all saw from what President Trump did, the president of the United States has the power. I must emphasize this. There are laws in the United States that require the president to deny illegal entry to any illegal immigrant and then if they do get in the United States, he has a legal obligation to detain those illegal immigrants,” Abbott explained.

The role of the president in securing the border is derived from the powers vested in the Executive Branch, as the president can issue executive orders to direct executive officers or clarify and further existing laws, which can include measures related to border security. This can include issuing executive orders to implement and enforce immigration laws, enhance border security, and provide resources for border enforcement. Additionally, Article I, Section 10, Clause 3 of the Constitution recognizes states’ sovereign power to repel invasions, which some argue provides a constitutional basis for states to take action to secure their borders in the absence of sufficient federal government action.

These socialistic programs almost guarantee that more people will cross into America in the days and weeks to come. Article 3, Section 3 of the Constitution defines treason as “levying war” against the United States or “adhering to [the] enemies [of the United States], giving them aid and comfort” and that is precisely what is happening to our once great nation.

I don’t trust anyone anymore. I see Abbott the same as Trump…a necessary evil with hidden motives.

There is no such thing as a “good man”. There are men in the right place at the right time who are right for God’s Purposes, who do not look Him in the Eye and say “no”.

If you want to call that “good” then I suggest you examine your definition of the word.

Just because you are used by God to further His Goals, doesn’t mean you aren’t still going straight to Hell when all is said and done. That being said, if you were to find yourself in that position? Look at it as a perfect opportunity to change the trajectory of your life forever. All it requires is awareness and a desire to change. It’s at those moments when you KNOW you have His undivided Attention! Trust that He will work with you as you are working with Him. There’s your “fifteen minutes”!

The president needs to do the job he has and is being paid to do. What would happen if the landscaper said he will only fulfill his contract if you help another landscaper financially.

Sounds like all Abbott needs to do is put up billboards in Spanish all over Texas and the invaders will bus themselves to NY.

Glad that my home state of MO is one of the 2t standing with Texas. The sheer number of southern invaders here is even more than I can recall growing up in SoCal in the 70s. But back then La Migra really did try to find and expel at least some to justify their existence and budget. Now they are “welcomed” especially by the meat processors and other “dirty jobs” type industries.

Still trying to figure out the next best jump after retirement. Looking at Arkansas, TN, KY, WV, or stay in MO south of I44. Hoping to have a little land and try some hobby farming (veggies, chickens, bees, still).

What’s insane is taking illegals and shipping them all over the US instead of back over the border.

You’re right. At first I thought the idea of shipping them to “blue cities” was good for a “give ’em a taste of their own medicine.” The screeching was good to hear. Then I realized this was an advanced move, getting the suckers in red states to finance the transportation of illegals to the inner parts of the nation. Sure, the commies did it first in the middle of the night, but got too much publicity. So, let the “right-wingers” do it.

Turning them around at the border is the only answer. Funny thing, though, the Texas National guard or DPS did that, and a Border Patrol agent ordered the Texas authorities away and allowed the “migrants” in. That was on video; happened several months ago, and I’m sure there were more incidents like it.

This is the one flag that apparently means more to folks than our own … especially our politicians at all levels who declare their allegiance to it …

That has been true for a very long time. It goes back to the ownership of the news media, to the newspapers when they were the only source of news. Many, if not most of the papers were under Jewish ownership. Anyone wanting to be elected to office had to curry favor with the papers as a practical matter. Not anti-semitism, just simple facts.

Too little too late. Where were you six years ago Abbott? Trump wanted to secure the border then and you were not interested. You have been governor since 2015. So why the sudden concern?
