On May 28, 1924, Congress, under authority of the Immigration Act, established the United States Border Patrol as part of the Immigration Bureau, an arm of the Department of Labor. The uniformed agency, started in El Paso, Texas and was funded by $1 million and employed 450 officers. Its duties called for the prevention of smuggling, as well as the arrest of unauthorized entrants into the United States.
109,000 illegals arrested last month and an estimated 327,000 made it into our country undetected. This invasion has to stop one way or the other.
Sit on your horse on top of a ridge, look out across the country and tell me there is no God.
We are supposedly the strongest and most militarily capable country in the world, yet we are under absolute invasion without a single shot being fired. Texas will not be conservative for much longer unless this is addressed ASAP. Those numbers you posted are a drop in the bucket to the amount of people actually coming across; not to mention all the “refugees” that the current administration has released all across our state. How did it come to this..?!
For one, we know the main answer, but no one wants to admit it; especially the people that we elect to represent us. The fact is, we are addicted to money, drugs, and other sins. We also like cheap crap as a whole. We also have a lot of money to spend on things other than surviving…..we do not live within our means.
The drug and human smuggling crisis currently on our hands could be stopped nearly overnight if we closed our borders. Sure, a complete border closing would be painful (but only for a little while); especially for us border states, but it is necessary. What happened when Trump got serious about closing the borders……? He was immediately countered by every politician including our Republican Senators Cornyn and Cruz.
Money talks and BS walks. Along our southern border, just about every mayor, police chief, sheriff, and so on is corrupt and on the dime and must turn a blind eye. They must do it, because they live down there and their lives and families’ lives are at stake. Mexico has been in a civil war for years and the drug cartels have won. Our politicians are reaping the benefits of this multi-billion war while we lose our country.
The human invasion problem, drug problem, and human smuggling problem has not been fixed because the people WE put in charge have no intention of solving the problem. Too much money at stake

It is out of hand, yesterday alone 2200 were arrested between El Paso and NM. Our Governor has removed the NG, says there's no crisis, encouraging towns and cities to house them all, then goes to D.C. to ask for reimbursement. Oh yeah, 4H has had to cancel events because places where events were scheduled are now being used to shelter.
The two party system in America has failed the people. Both parties could of stopped it, but both did nothing. There needs to be an awakening of a new party in the US like the Brexit party rose up in Britain in six weeks, and stole the election.
These fools have to go. We will keep Trump though.
Trump talks alot about stopping immigration but thats all he does he about it, I'm sick of talk.
I agree. However, if Trump did close the border, even for only several weeks, heads would spin off. I think he would like to do it and really doesn't care, but I think maybe he's been aware of the backlash. I believe that every single US citizen would feel some kind of a pinch from it. Some more than others. Many people's livliehoods and the way they do business would greatly be altered. Many every day drug users that work and function daily and are a productive part of society would soon have a lifestyle change as well.
Many US citizens, Indian Nations, and politicians (from local police chiefs to congressional representatives) have figured out how to play the game regarding our open border, tax breaks, housing, casinos, gambling, government handouts across state/federal lines, etc. A lot of people for many generations have made a living off this status quo. The counties (and states) along the southern border have decided that they like to "Have their cake, and eat it too."
Although there is a lot of big talk about Trump closing the border, I really don't think that the American people as a whole would be ready for it......even many so-called "conservatives. I wish he would completely close the border. However, I think if he did, there will be no chance of him winning re-election and he realizes that. Too many people like the status quo. Just my opinion though.

Trump is imposing 5% tariff on all good coming from Mexico and will increase incrementally until they do something about the flow of illegals coming into our country.
That's great news yukonjeff! Thanks for posting, I have not heard about this.
I've been in Eagle Pass all week and I don't even know how to begin to explain the amount of big trucks coming in and out of Mexico. Those tariff's keep increasing it will get interesting!

With the wall being built the border is sytematicaly being shut. Closing the ports of entry wont stop the illegal border crossers out in the desert but that wall will.
