EXCLUSIVE: Texas to Build Its Own Border Barriers, Says Governor.Texas Governor Greg Abbott told Breitbart Texas the State will immediately begin building border barriers in areas where migrants can easily cross the Rio Grande border with Mexico. The barriers will, in part, enable state law enforcement to arrest migrants for violations of state law.CONT

2) “The influx across the border is out of control, and the Biden Administration has shown that is not going to step up and do its job,” Governor Abbott told Breitbart Texas shortly before Thursday’s border summit in Del Rio, Texas. “And amidst reports of even more people coming in across the border, we know we have to step up and do more.”CONT

3) Abbott said Texas will immediately begin construction of border barriers in areas like Del Rio where migrants can easily cross unsecured sections of the border with Mexico. The governor picked Del Rio for the Border Summit due to the massive increases in illegal border crossings in this region. Del Rio Sector agents apprehended 27,890 migrants — a 1,118 percent increase over the May 2020 report of 2,289, Breitbart Texas reported on Thursday.CONT

4) “The reason why we are here (Del Rio) is because of the massive increase,” the governor stated. Border crossings used to be highly “concentrated in the Rio Grande Valley,” he explained. “Now, you know we’re upstream from the Rio Grande Valley in the Del Rio Sector and the Del Rio sector is suffering from some of the largest increases.”He said they are hearing from local residents and elected and law enforcement officials that they are seeing things they have never seen before.CONT

5) “They’re seeing a lot of very bad dangerous people come across the border,” Abbott continued. “People that they are afraid of encountering, people who are causing damage to their fences, their livestock, their crops, their neighborhoods, and their homes.”“Bad things are happening around here, and so they need help from the state to help them address this exploding crisis.”CONT

6) The governor said authorities will use existing state laws along with the authority of the State of Emergency declaration made earlier this month to crack down on those illegally crossing the border can creating havoc along the way.“What people have seen in videos across the country seems to be the Biden Administration welcoming these people to the United States,” Abbott stated. “We won’t be sending that message.”cont

7) Instead, the governor said, “If you come to Texas, you’re subject to being arrested. You’re not going to have a pathway to roam the country. You’re going to have a pathway directly into a jail cell.”“We want to be very aggressive in working with local officials and begin making mass arrests,” Abbott stated. “In working in collaboration with a large number of counties — that means we’re going to be arresting a lot more people.”cont

8) The governor said this will create the need across the state for a lot more jails.The governor explained that the barriers serve two functions in the battle against illegal border crossings. The first being physical deterrence. The second, “If they (migrants) move or interfere with that barrier, they have committed several crimes.”Those crimes include criminal mischief, vandalism of state property or local government property, and criminal trespass.cont

9) In addition, the recent declaration of a State of Emergency by the State of Texas causes the penalties for these crimes to increase by one level.“That means up to 180 days in jail,” Abbott continued. “Something that may be a Class B misdemeanor right now, turned into a class A misdemeanor. And so they can get into a lot of trouble.”“There’s even potential for state jail felonies for some of these crimes,” he explained. “So they can wind up in jail for a long time.”cont

10) Abbott said they have identified more than 1,000 jail cells that can be used to hold arrested migrants. They will begin actively working with local and state officials to identify more space. He said they may consider building additional jail space in the form of soft-sided facilities.To help facilitate this effort, Governor Abbott teamed up with Arizona Governor Doug Ducey to call on fellow governors across the nation to provide assistance in the ongoing border crisis.cont

11)“With your help, we can apprehend more of these perpetrators of state and federal crimes before they can cause problems in your state,” the two governors advised. “Texas and Arizona have stepped up to secure the border in the federal government’s absence, and now, the Emergency Management Assistance Compact gives your State a chance to stand strong with us.”Abbott said he anticipates a “high level of participation.”CONT

12)“I’ll tell you why,” he continued. “The immigration issue and the border issue is not just the number one issue of Texas, it’s the number one issue in America. And so all of these other governors, they hear the same concerns that we hear about in Texas.”Abbott concluded the one-on-one interview, saying, “Texas already has done more than any other state to secure the border, but we know that more has to be done. cont

13) And we’re stepping up to undertake an unprecedented response to the border crisis caused by the federal government.”“In the end, only the federal government and Congress can fix this, but as it stands right now, the state of Texas is going to step up and we’re going to start making arrests — sending a message to anybody thinking about coming here, you’re not going to get a free pass to the U.S. They’re getting a straight pass to a jail cell.”cont

@Dawnz Great thread. Thank you Dawnz! This reminds me of the time in The Wizard of Oz when the the good witch told Dorothy she had the power all along to get back home. Maybe the states have the power to prevent illegal entry across their borders (including states in the north). Had it all along.

@Dawnz good but again Abbott is late. Each month 180k cross illegally so a million or so are already here.

@Dawnz Texas should do what our military did at our COPs (Combat Operating Posts) in Afghanistan and Syria.A fence was installed along the perimeter of the COP and another fence installed 100 yards inside of the outer perimeter fence.'Anyone' who entered the area between the two fences was immediately shot by snipers. After a few of these 'occurrences' things got real quiet.

@America01st @Dawnz No, states can't enforce federal immigration law. SCOTUS so said, but there may be a point were states just start doing what they want, and force the fed to choose between acquiescence or sending troops in to fight the state governments.

@Dawnz Gov Abbott has done a lot of great things for Texas and I love the guy. It does make you wonder what took him so long to figure this out? Maybe those emergency powers were an impetus to think outside of the box (along with the stronger laws). I can't wait to see how this goes down - quickly I hope!

@GmanFan45 Before people say Abbott is "late"..This all has been in the works.But like most things,delays shouldnt be laid at his door.There are planning stages,meetings with mayors,lawyers,permits,approvals from various law enforcements etc. He wasnt just sitting on his thumbs.Sometimes,the wheels do turn slowly,but this takes time making sure everything is done legally,everyone involved preparing,etc. He didnt just wake up recently and say"oh, I should do something"

2) @GmanFan45 This has been worked on for a long time, while at the same time,and on the heels of dealing with the deep freeze we went thru a few months ago,when he dealt with major power crisis, which came about as a result of three severe winter storms sweeping across the United States on February 10–11, 13–17, and 15–20; a massive electricity generation failure in the state of Texas; and resultant shortages of water, food, and heat..He's doing a fantastic job as our Governor

@Dawnz maybe you are better in tune with Texas than I am so will defer to your experience. I'm used to DeSantis and he seems to be more of a take the bull by its horns guy but both styles can be equally effective. Thanks Dawn!

1)@GmanFan45 Its not about differences in the two governors style as much as the things they each are dealing withBoth men are governing their states excellently.Things Gov Abbot is doing took a lot of time between the planning and the execution of the plan,involving a lot of processes/meetings by a lot of different people to bring it to a successful plan that can be acted on.

2) @GmanFan45 Its going to take all of these wonderful people to make this happen like I said,its not about styles,its about different situations. You stated something to the effect that it took a long enough time for Abbot to do something. No it didnt.He was on top of it from the beginning

@Dawnz if he was thats great but it seems they were not prepared for a Trump loss and ready with a disaster scenario. Maybe he did I am not familiar with processes on that but a major crisis happened quickly and the border has been left wide open so that is why my impression that it was late came from. I'm more familiar with things in my state of Florida. But yes very glad Abbott is moving on this.

@GmanFan45 Trust me, he was and has been prepared.In Abbott's situation the planning involved a lot of different people,different agencys,courts etc. He didnt have the luxury of setting those people's timetables.He's had to line up jails across the state to put those arrested.There will be that many.Thats just one hurdle he faced.It wasnt just signing an EO.I follow him closely as it affects us here in Texas.
