Texas Begins Arresting Illegal Immigrants for Trespassing as Part of Gov. Greg Abbott’s Border Security Plan
2021-07-24
[EpochTimes] Authorities in Texas have begun arresting illegal immigrants colonists along the U.S.-Mexico border on trespassing charges, according to Texas Gov. Greg Abbott
... governor of Texas. Abbott is a Republican. His 2014 Dem opponent, state senatrix Wendy Davis, thought the absolute, most pressing, most important issue facing the state was abortion. Abbott beat the pantyhose off her. His 2018 opponent, Lupe Valdez didn't dwell too heavily on abortion, but she lost too...
, who has blamed the Biden administration (aka the Wilmington comorra)
...knaves, footpads, and adjusters employed by the Biden Crime Family. They leave a trail of havoc everywhere they turn their attention, be it the nation's borders, the Keystone XL Pipeline, or epidemics, sometimes on purpose, most times through sheer arrogant ineptitude. They learnt this stuff in college, you know...
for the surge in illegal immigration and has put in motion his own border security plan to crack down on illegal crossings.

"Texas has begun arresting illegal immigrants colonists who are trespassing in Texas or vandalizing property & fences. They are now being sent to this jail rather than being released like the Biden Admin. has been doing. We are adding more officers, National Guard & jails," Abbott said in a tweet Thursday.

So far, at least 10 people have been jugged
Book 'im, Mahmoud!
, with more on the way, authorities said Thursday. The detainees are being held at what had been an empty state prison in Dilley, Texas, about 100 miles north of the border city of Laredo, according to Robert Hurst, a front man for the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. The converted facility will be able to hold more than 950 people, he said.

Val Verde County Attorney David Martinez said that all of those arrested so far have been single adult men. He said he had been advised last week that the number of arrests of illegal immigrants colonists could rise to as many as 100 to 200 per day.

The arrests put in motion plans that Abbott first announced in June, when he hosted a Border Security Summit in Del Rio, during which he said individuals who enter Texas illegally would be subject to arrest for trespassing.

"President Joe Biden
...... 46th president of the U.S. We hold these truths to be self-evident. All men and women created ... by the — you know — you know, the thing......
’s open-border policies have led to a humanitarian crisis at our southern border as record levels of illegal immigrants colonists, drugs, and contraband pour into Texas," Abbott said in a June 10 statement. "While securing the border is the federal government’s responsibility, Texas will not sit idly by as this crisis grows. The state is working collaboratively with communities impacted by the crisis to arrest and detain individuals coming into Texas illegally."

During the summit, Abbott said he had directed the Texas Commission on Jail Standards and the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement to work with counties to establish alternative detention facilities to ensure enough jail capacity to house illegal immigrants colonists arrested for trespassing.

#6  An outdoor fenced security is in order. Give them a blanket and a shelter half. Let them cross back as many times as they are caught, using shanks-mare. Like andersonville plus a shebang and they are allowed to leave. Without a border we are not a country.

"And 4000 if we fill it to the brim and weld the gates shut."

#3  A Federal judge somewhere we decide this is unconstitutional and issue an injunction stopping Abbott's efforts.

I'm inclined to say 'not if they're violating state law', then Abbot can tell them to pound sand. Then again, some Obama rumpswab judge in that district's gonna do it regardless.
