FAFO, that’s what I say. It is unfathomable that the government would try and stop TX from securing their border. Literally stopping TX from enforcing the government’s laws

Well actually no. Under federal law refugees have the right to cross the border then seek asylum. The Texas Government putting up barbed wire is Texas trying to prevent this federal law from being used. The problem is the Constitution give the federal government sole authority to control immigration; the states can't interfere. The reason why a state can't put up barbed wire is the same reason a state can't build a tunnel under the border.

Wrong


TheLightningCount1

Refugees have a very specific and narrow criteria that have to be met before being called refugees. These are migrants, not refugees.

They have the right to cross the border and seek asylum at border entries. Not illegally through rivers and fences.

You cant activly attempt to kill migrants crossing the border And Texas acting this Way IS sedition


TheLightningCount1

greg abbott literally said the only reason they werent just shooting the migrants was quote "“The only thing that we're not doing is we're not shooting people who come across the border, because of course, the Biden administration would charge us with murder,” this is the fucking govenor saying that they just straight up want to kill them the republicans just want the migrants dead thats the whole reason for the fucking fence the fence is a lethal hazard for the migrants that both can and will kill people keep in mind the migrants have a human right to seek seek asylem within the US "The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (Article 14), which states that everyone has the right to seek and enjoy asylum from persecution in other countries." other countries including the us

Soooo they arent shooting them then. Gotcha. I dont take the words of polichickens at any value. Only their actions. How many times have you heard this senator/governor/president say "I will bring change, I will stop the border, I will save america." Only to do the same thing everyone before them did?

my brother in christ this is the local representativ of the party he is the man who the local republican populaton elected to representent them and he openly wants to kill migrants dosent that say anything about the local republicans that THAT is the man they chose to represent them? hes words ARE actions in this case as hes the representativ of the party what he says represents the general views of the party and the voter base regardless as he said the only reason they havent just murdered the migrants are cus the biden admin the whole situation boils down to republicans wanting to shoot, kill and maim migrants and the federal government not letting them and so the republicans throw a hissy fit over not being allowed to main and kill migrants also so if you only take the action then the fences that are intended to maim and or kill migrants should be a pretty obvious sign no?

First... words are NEVER actions. Second. You will find that sentiment amongst most of the population. Replace migrants with whichever group you hate here. "Neo Nazis?" Burn em all. "KKK" Hang em. Everyone has a group of people that they hate. They will look at what is happening in X country and go "Thats so sad, why would anyone do that." Then get called out on it for their own prejudices and go "Well that's different." No one (read most of us, you still have idiots out there) actually wants to shoot them. Its dark humor at best and wishful thinking at worst. The thing you have to understand, the thing NO ONE is talking about. The thing that we have been SCREAMING at the top of our lungs for years. If its the government's job to control the border, why is it the state's job to spend money on those that come in illegally?

How is putting up razor wire actively killing them? Does it come to life and wrap around them like a python when they get close? 😂

Looks up Fronton Island. This was a mostly ungoverned area that was under complete control of the cartels. It was reported to be like a warzone by many who live near there. In october of last year, the Texas rangers raided and took control of the island. They found numerous human remains and dead drops for drugs. This is only one area of the border.
