Texas likely has to be extraordinarily careful who they send to the border to avoid bad press and lawsuits from the ACLU and Feds.

There's a bounty? Scalps, or do you have to haul them still kicking to the courthouse?

I think the bums sneaking in will just hit west, New Mexico is pretty receptive to them I hear.

It might happen someday- until then I say thank God for Gov Abbott. He is attempting to use the might of the State of Texas to assist the border region so that we citizens don't have to resort to anything as ill thought out as vigilante justice (which the Biden administration would know doubt prosecute just as fast as the did the J6 "insurgents").

If you wanna touch on some key points....nonpolitically of course, please enlighten.....especially as it relates to Texas's seccession (where shooting undesirables is legal ), lol

You dont have to make it political and get the thread axxed, I'm just trying to save the country, deport aliens, hang criminals, and possible make money and overthrow the deep state, non politically, of course.....Murica !

I'll trade my services of "boundary cleansing and maintenance" for beef. Trespasers will be dealt with.

I, we, have just watched the Supreme court uphold Texas law that allows for the arrest and deportation of illegal aliens, and that is why I made this post. Pretty soon it will be legal for ranchers to shoot trespassers, I'm thinking.

I have a vision....: My military company, under my supervision, could take every batch of illegals, force them to pick up garbage left behind in Texas, and take it back across with them.....I'll purify that country for coyote trappers and cattleman.....for a price...

I'll need some military grade munitions and lots of cash,

If you can't get a job with Texas Tysons foods will give you $16.50 a hour and a immigration lawyer in New York.

Yesterday I heard where SCOTUS on a 6-3 vote OK'd TX to arrest those crossing the boarder illegally. But, today I hear where an appellate judge banned the practice. I thought a SCOTUS decision was the law of the land and couldn't be overturned.

And also , illegals can have guns too...

There is a difference between "the" Supreme court and the regional ones.....


We are a very litigious country, where decision are made and repealed right and left.

I think the SC just lifted a previous stay. I don't believe they have actually ruled on the case yet.
