**** Beto. What a dewsh. EVERYONE knows it is an international border and there are specific rules for legal crossing. Everything else is by implication at your own dumbass risk.

Blaming Abbott for something Biden is doing.RGV AG said:
I flew out of McAllen this morning, and I quit counting at 47, and there were more, illegals (Haitins, Africans, Central Americans, and a couple of very hot Venezolanas which is something I haven't seen in a while, I am all for them!) that were going through security with forward travel docs from the US government. They get special access and get to bypass the long lines at what has to be the TSA's most in-efficient airport.
Their travel is paid for by the taxpayers and they are in the US legally as per the Feds.
The guy I know pretty well at the UA counter said that they probably do 80-100 of these folks a day. American does about the same. Now factor in that you have airports at Brownsville, Harlingen, McAllen, and Laredo, there are probably 800-1000 of these illegals traveling into the US on a daily basis. Do the math.
I detest Abbott, he is lying to and playing upon all of you that are outraged about the illegal immigration mess. This is nothing but political pandering, like the Trump did on so many things. Those F'ing bouy's won't do a damn thing to stop all the illegals that the Feds let across the bridges. Not one thing. It may lightly hamper Mexicans, they still get deported and so do some Central Americans and others that have records or no docs. But those folks cross at all kinds of other places and the BP can keep about 85% out without Wheels spending millions on pork barrel crap like he is. But it won't stop the thousands that are welcomed by the Feds.
There is basically one thing, and one thing only, that Abbott can do to kick Mexico in the balls and get some of this turned down and that is hamper and hinder commerce, but he is not going to do it because he gets money from big donor's that depend on produce, knick knacks, and all the other things that Mex exports to the US.
Trump hammered illegal immigration by threatening tariffs and Abbott caused teeth gnashing pain when he, for 3 days, had all Mex trucks crossing checked by DPS. But Abbott folded under political pressure.
The National Guard and troopers along the border is for show, costing the tax payers millions a week.
Abbott is playing all of you all that think he is actually doing something. I am so pissed off at him that if he wins the primary I may vote against him just because he has played a state as a fool and is lying to us all. He is a political animal first and foremost that is using this horrible and terribly damaging situation to try and look like a conservative bad ass. He is lying trash to me and coward with no principals. He is bought and paid for.

You cannot make this up. Literally, a Hawaii judge has stopped Texas from enforcing the border
(The judge is sitting in Texas, but he was a Hawaii judge almost all of his career)

This is all theater.

Needs to go to SCOTUS
But not for the question that seems obvious
Instead the question needs to be: "Can the Executive Branch refuse to enforce the laws in the Constitution or that Legislative Branch passes? Because if the answer is yes then effectively we don't have a republic, we have a dictatorship.
