    Border left 'wide open' after red states pull National Guard and police

    Border left 'wide open' after red states pull National Guard and police

    Anna Giaritelli

    MCALLEN, Texas — The swarm of National Guard soldiers and state police that governors sent to guard the Texas-Mexico border earlier this summer are gone, leaving the border effectively unmanned with just 6% of the reinforcements left behind.
    “We used to have a National Guard posted there,” Border Patrol agent Chris Cabrera told theWashington Examiner while driving along a dirt road that runs parallel with the border near the Hidalgo port of entry late one evening recently. “There was another one right over here, but they took that guy, too."
    Cabrera is the vice president of the Border Patrol union’s Rio Grande Valley chapter. On a 12-mile drive along roads that agents use to access the overgrown land along the Rio Grande, Cabrera points out a total of 11 spots where National Guard soldiers had been posted all summer. They manned mobile camera towers and could also call in sightings of illegal immigrants or drug smugglers attempting to sneak through the brush.
    Now, no one is keeping watch and Cabrera admits that agents, half of whom have been pulled from the field to transport and process illegal crossers in custody, do not even know who is coming through in those unguarded areas. Cabrera described it as "wide open."

    “We were already stretched thin with their help and having them here relieved a lot of pressure on us,” Cabrera said. “Now they took away manpower that we can't really afford for them to take away.”
    Reinforcements were called in at the start of summer. In June, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott solicited help from other states to patrol the border as more migrants were coming across than any time in the past two decades. Arkansas and South Dakota sent in state National Guard soldiers, while state troopers were called in from Florida, Iowa, Nebraska, and Ohio.
    But four months since Abbott’s call for assistance, nearly all have quietly returned home, according to data provided by the Texas Division of Emergency Management and the Texas Military Department. The 48 soldiers from South Dakota were called back. Among the state police, all 14 in Ohio, 26 in Nebraska, 28 in Iowa, and 69 from Florida have been pulled from the line, unable to endlessly work out of state.
    Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds, a Republican, said on Wednesday that the state could not continue with the costs, while other governors have said their states need law enforcement back in their communities.
    As of Friday, just 11 soldiers from outside Texas are the only out-of-state military or law enforcement help Texas has on the border, fewer than a tenth of the personnel who were there this summer.
    “They would monitor the mobile center, mobile tower trucks, camera trucks,” Cabrera said. “Nobody is bringing those out because they're not there. These were static positions where we would put a vehicle and two guardsmen in there so if somebody ran across that area, they could call it out.”

    Why the $#@! even have a border when you aren't willing to protect it.
    Joe has trashed America.
    Joe is going to crash the economy and we can't stop that train now even if we wanted to.
    Joe is hunting citizens. He and his administration is stepping all over Free Speech.
    What have you mother $#@!ers done to us? What ever you think you've done, you've done it to yourselves, too.

    Its time for Abbot and other Republican governors to call on their citizens. Deputize them and then Tell Biden. $#@! you or $#@! off. We will follow the law.


    Detain Mayorkas and any DHS for interfering.


    Texas call up Texas Rangers and sned them on missions to apprehend DHS Secretaries. Deputy Secretaries. Station Chiefs. Oh and any Deviants that are usurping the law. Label them Insurrectionists and Enemies of the State.



    BTW.....Mayorkas pulled all contracts in Texas.



    "Consistent with the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) border barrier plan, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), in coordination with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), intends to cancel the remaining border barrier contracts located within U.S. Border Patrol’s (USBP) Laredo Sector and all border barrier contracts located in the Rio Grande Valley Sector," DHS released in a statement. "CBP will then begin environmental planning and actions consistent with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) for previously planned border barrier system projects located within the Rio Grande Valley, Laredo, and El Centro Sectors."


    DHS is also calling on Congress to cancel all remaining and previously allocated funding for border wall construction.


    "Environmental planning activities will cover projects funded with DHS’s Fiscal Year 2018-2021 barrier system appropriations where construction had not started. These activities include additional biological, cultural, and natural resource surveys for project areas where no data have been previously collected. CBP will also conduct comprehensive and targeted outreach with interested stakeholders, including impacted landowners, tribes, state and local elected officials, and federal agencies. These activities will not involve any construction of new border barrier or permanent land acquisition," the statement continues. "The Administration continues to call on Congress to cancel remaining border wall funding and instead fund smarter border security measures, like border technology and modernization of land ports of entry.".....snip~

    Now Apprehend Biden's Team Deviant and do to him what they are doing to the Capital Rioters. Throw their ass in solitary confinement. No talking to attorneys. No phone calls home. Dont even give the mopes an Hour outside of their cell. Oh and find cells that are darkness. Let them live in that.

    The reaction I've heard from my friends is; "who cares?" They don't seem to care very much and are happy to let Texas do whatever they want to do since it has little impact on them directly.

    So let the state of Texas keep their national guard troops there defending the border even though the other "red" states pulled their troops out regardless of the cost.

    To save money spent by the states and federal government, I think the feds should ask the Mexican government for total reimbursement of the wall; after all we were told by trump that the Mexican government would pay for the wall 100%. We are still waiting for the check from Mexico.

    Think 3rd party for 2024 folks. Clean up America.

    Once I tell you that we agree to disagree there will be no more discussion between us in the thread so please don't waste your time continuing to argue your points because I will not respond.

    I think we should take back the money we give to Mexico and use it to build the wall. I am sure Abbott can get Citizens to step up to the plate. While making life difficult for DHS personnel. Especially Mayorkas hook him for failing to follow the law. Dereliction of duty.

    This is something that should have been done 4 years ago. But all we hear are excuses, excuses from both administrations. Good luck getting any money back from Mexico; their president kept his word to his citizens when he promised them that they "wouldn't pay a penny towards the wall". Ours didn't.

    Trump cuts aid to Central American countries as migrant ...

    Mar 30, 2019 · He has declared a national emergency to justify redirecting money earmarked for the military to pay for the wall. Mexico has played down the possibility of a border shutdown.


    Did Mexico put troops on both their borders over migration for the first time ever while under Trump? Did they not have to pay their Army to patrol the US Border under Trump?


    Was Mexico forced to open all kinds of Consulates due to Trump's Remain in Mexico Policy?


    So for the first time concerning Migration Mexico had to pay out money that they never paid out before, Correct?

    So tell us again how Mexico isnt paying for the Border wall.
