FVjWHQxXEAAjV6a (1) Texas Lt. Governor Dan Patrick told Fox News that the state is being invaded, which gives the state the power to remove migrants from the country. He said the Constitution gives Texas the “power to put hands on people and send them back.”
Fox News Anchor Trace Gallagher interviewed Lt. Gov. Patrick Tuesday afternoon about the worsening crisis along the Texas border with Mexico. The interview came shortly before a Texas border county declared the migrant surge to be an “invasion.”
“Some counties in Texas are ready to declare an invasion into their counties,” Patrick told Gallagher. “We had 230-some-thousand cross the [U.S.] border last month. That’s only who we apprehended.”
“We are being invaded,” the Lt. Gov. stated. “If we’re being invaded under the Constitution, I think that gives us the power to put hands on people and send them back.”
Kinney County Judge Tully Shahan described the conditions experienced by residents of his county as thousand pour across the border from Mexico into Texas every day.
“We are taking these steps in hopes of encouraging our Governor to acknowledge the existence of an invasion on our border with Mexico and take the necessary actions to preserve and protect the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Texas,” the county judge stated. In Texas, a county judge is the chief executive officer of the county.
Several county judges in attendance supported the declaration of invasion and urged Governor Greg Abbott to do the same.
Breitbart Texas reached out to Abbott’s office for a reaction to the invasion declaration by Kinney County and the call for him to follow suit. The governor’s office did not rule out such a declaration from Austin.“All strategies remain on the table as Texas continues stepping up in the federal government’s absence,” Abbott’s spokesman Renae Eze said in a written […]

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We just launched a GiveSendGo page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
