Texas county ratifies invasion declaration, as sheriff warns of cartel control of migrant flows

A Texas county this week ratified a declaration that the crisis at the southern border is an “invasion,” part of a growing push by some border officials to make a state-wide declaration — as the county’s sheriff warns of the control that cartels have of the migrant flows.

Goliad County was one of a number of counties who last week declared the crisis an invasion. This week the county’s commissioners court ratified the declaration, which urges Texas Gov. Greg Abbott to make a declaration for the state.

A number of Republican officials and lawmakers at the state and national levels have described the crisis as an invasion — citing the amount of deadly drugs like fentanyl coming into the U.S., as well as the massive number of migrants.

The officials and lawmakers have argued that declaring an invasion allows the state governments in Arizona, Texas and elsewhere to expand powers and remove illegal immigrants from the country. Gov. Greg Abbott recently used the word “invasion” in an executive order authorizing the return of migrants to the border, but it was not an explicit invasion declaration.

Unfortunately, Texas is in a war and Gov. Gregg Abbott is not suited to be a war time governor. In the Texas State legislature the majority of republicans are RINO / Bush traitors who along with all of the democrats will work together to keep the border completely open. Also, the RINO’s can count on support from RINO open border gun grabbing US Senator John Cornyn to ensure that there will be no federal funds to help stop the invasion.

For the most part Texans have lost faith in their elected representatives at both the State and federal levels to stop the invasion, however, most Texans still believe to some extent that the republicans in the legislature will eventually do the right thing and stop the invasion. This is delusional thinking as just like the democrats the republicans are bought pull peddling traitors who will continue to betray Texas. In my district Senator Hughs and Representative Clardy have done nothing to stop the invasion. Who is John Galt? TEXIT!

I was wondering why Texas was doing nothing to stop the flow of illegals. I hear all this complaining down there and the politicians doing nothing.
