ICYMI – Troops with the Texas National Guard, assisting Governor Greg Abbott’s Operation Lone Star, have gained the edge on migrants invading our southern border. A razor sharp one. The coils of razor wire they deployed to fill gaps worked so well, they’re being reinforced with more.
Border secure in Texas
Joe Biden and the federal government refuse to do a thing to prevent the crisis they created, so Texas is defending their own border. It’s already working and the numbers of invading migrants have dropped dramatically.
As Fox News reports, the “Texas National Guard began installing more razor wire along the border this week to stop illegal immigrants from crossing into Texas from Mexico.”
Governor Abbott couldn’t wait to post the news on Twitter. Along with images of National Guard troops “unraveling bundles of razor-lined wire at the border,” he noted the guard are “installing additional layers of razor wire in high-traffic areas for illegal crossings.”

Unlike Alejandro Mayorkas, he plans to resist the invasion, not help it along.
As of Monday, January 2, at the Texas-Mexico line, guard members are “working around the clock to secure the border in the federal government’s absence.”
That follows up on his recent press release “highlighting actions taken by the state through Operation Lone Star to take on illegal immigration where federal agencies have failed.”
Multi-agency effort
The “multi-agency effort” put into action by the conservative governor has “led to more than 336,000 migrant apprehensions and more than 23,000 criminal arrests since its launch in March 2021.”
Out of those arrested, “more than 20,000 felony charges were filed.” Because Texas remains conservative and prosecutors actually prosecute, you can expect those convicted to be off the streets for a while. It’s not just “migrants” pouring across our border.
Besides the human smuggling, there is a whole lot of drug traffic coming across the border and it’s killing Americans by the thousands.

As Governor Abbott relates, “the Texas Department of Public Safety, which is collaborating with the National Guard to execute Operation Lone Star, seized more than 354 million lethal doses of fentanyl.” Razor wire isn’t the only way to keep out dangerous threats.
“Operation Lone Star continues to fill the dangerous gaps left by the Biden Administration’s refusal to secure the border. Every individual who is apprehended or arrested and every ounce of drugs seized would have otherwise made their way into communities across Texas and the nation due to President Biden’s open border policies.” That pretty much sums it up.
Word is swirling on the street that even “liberal” Colorado is going to start busing illegals to New York City. Boulder can’t even give their own meth-smoking homeless a library to shelter in. Migrants will simply need to find sanctuary elsewhere.
