Thanks are in order to the governors of FL an UT for dispatching state National Guard troops to support operation Lone Star.
Texas operation Lone Star, Gov. Abbott's current initiative, doing Biden's job, which he refuses to do. So far it has cost the state of Texas some 2 Billion dollars, resulting in 376,000 illegal aliens apprehended, 28,000 criminal arrests and 416,000,000 lethal doses of Fentanyl confiscated. Texas has bussed 19,000 illegals to NYC, Chicago, DC and recently to CO.
The governor's recent deployment of TXANG and DPS to Brownsville has essentially sealed that illegal point of entry using miles of razor concertina wire backed up by troopers. Crossings dropped from thousands/day to less than 50 overnight.
While crossings have decreased at all points w/title 8 replacing title 42, numbers were much higher in areas not benefiting from personnel & fencing and authorities are apprehensive while waiting for the other shoe to drop, as there are still "tens of thousands gathered on the south bank of the Rio Grande River waiting to cross". Overnight @ Del Rio, Tx. DPS reported a group of approximately 100 gathered on the Mexican side of the Rio Grande in preparation to enter but were discouraged by orders not to do so.
DPS Lt. Olivares reported that 4-5000 illegals are currently being held at the border, not counting those released by federal authorities with court dates.
To those who say the border cannot be controlled, the Bracero program was very successful in providing needed farm labor and helping to control illegal entry for years. Operation Wetback (obviously named prior to the politically correct era), was equally efficient, both described below:
Quote: Operation Wetback
During World War II, the Mexican and American governments developed an agreement known as the Bracero program, which allowed Mexican laborers to work in the United States under short-term contracts in exchange for stricter border security and the return of illegal Mexican immigrants to Mexico.[12] Instead of providing military support to the U.S. and its military allies, Mexico would provide laborers to the U.S. with the understanding that border security and illegal labor restrictions would be tightened by the United States.[13
