The Democrats’ Plot to Turn Texas Blue

Maybe you’ve seen it on FOX: Texas’s Governor Abbott (R) declared that an invasion is happening on the southern border and moved to invoke invasion clauses of the U.S. and Texas constitutions to allow him to boost security at the border while clown reporters from lefty newspapers, like the Dallas Observer, disparagingly note that Gov. Abbott continues “invasion” rhetoric as Texas sees an increase in “migrant crossings.”

I was with the U.S. Border Patrol, Del Rio Sector, from the mid-1990s to 2000, when Governor George Bush deployed Texas state troopers and the National Guard to Eagle Pass to repel the drug cartels’ attempt to flood Texas with drugs. Their strategy to remove Border Patrol Agents from the border was effective. An overwhelming number of “migrants” would be sent across the border en masse to force Border Patrol agents to apprehend and transport the illegal aliens to a U.S. Border Patrol station.
