Illegal emigration
Started by Jane Kappes
Wendy Davis just stated on Fox4 in DFW that she supports the return of the children that have invaded our state.. Personally I think she is a bag of hot air with a bad odor however, most people want this invasion stopped and support no amnesty.. Her statement gives her a leg up in the fight.. Please post your stance on Mr Obama’s amnesty plan.. If he is not impeached soon his plan could be a reality and if that is the case, all of them including their anchors, need to be shipped to blue states..
Our welfare benefits are too much for and at too high a cost.. I can’t afford cable, cell phone, lobster, strawberries, braces on my teeth or gym memberships for myself let alone someone else.. These people have better services and access to numerous things I can’t afford for myself, nor my children, therefore I do not want to pay for some else better life.. Most are here for the welfare promised (milk & honey) not to better there lives..You will need to login to join the discussion.1RepliesMC Lambeth, 10 years ago
Thanks for writing in, Ms. Kappes.
Attorney General Abbott believes it is imperative for our state to secure the border, and keep Texas safe from drug cartels and gangs that import crime to our state.
On June 12, General Abbott sent a letter to Department of Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson requesting immediate action in addition to $30M of emergency funding to allow the Texas DPS to continue their operations in response to this humanitarian crisis. Greg Abbott supports Governor Perry, Lt. Gov. Dewhurst, and Speaker Straus in their call for the Department of Public Safety (DPS) to increase its presence along the border, at a cost of approximately $1.3 million a week. Greg Abbott has visited facilities in both the Rio Grande Valley and San Antonio where those who illegally crossed into Texas are being housed, and reiterated his request that the federal government live up to its responsibility to secure the Texas-Mexico border.
Abbott states, “Texas is stepping up and doing what the federal government has failed to do – secure the porous border. The Obama Administration’s failure to enforce the rule of law has empowered transnational gangs and cartels to smuggle people into our state from around the world — including members of deadly gangs like MS-13. The Department of Public Safety will have the tools and resources it needs to curtail illegal smuggling, horrific human trafficking and cartel imported crime. Securing the border will reduce the illegal activity which – in turn – will promote the legitimate trade that helps make Texas the leading exporting state in the country.”
As a candidate for Governor, Greg Abbott has released a number of policy proposals that get to the heart of the problem. Greg Abbott’s “Securing Texans” plan, among other things, calls for:
· Providing DPS with adequate funding, personnel, and resources to conduct strategic surge operations along the border on a year-round basis, including 500 new Troopers and 20 new Texas Rangers in the Border Region, approximately doubling the current DPS presence in the region.
· In order to better assist border communities in addressing difficult cases arising from spillover crime, supporting District and County Attorneys’ Offices by increasing the allocation for the Border Prosecution Unit.
· To impede illegal border crossings, improve safety for law enforcement officers and facilitate apprehension of drug and human traffickers, eradicating invasive and non-native Carrizo cane along the Rio Grande River through a multi-jurisdictional effort and only with the consent of private landowners.
