Texas offers help to Trump in controlling border

 Dawn Buckingham:

The border crisis reached unprecedented levels under the Biden-Harris administration. Still, there is finally a light at the end of the tunnel: President-elect Donald Trump will soon begin his second term as president of the United States, and he has made it clear that on day one he will secure our southern border.

Well, I’m here to help.

You may have read earlier last week that I sent a letter to Trump in my capacity as the Texas Commissioner of the General Land Office (GLO), offering over 1,400 acres of state-owned land to construct deportation staging areas and facilities for criminal illegal immigrants.

We are not stopping there. I am now extending my initial offer to include state-owned land we have identified in El Paso and elsewhere in the state for these critical purposes as well.

The federal government under President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris has not only allowed but facilitated an invasion of violent illegal immigrants into my state and country, and I am here to say the invasion ends on January 20 when Trump returns to the presidency.

The stakes are simply too high. As of July 21, 2024, there were 662,566 illegal aliens with a criminal history on ICE’s national docket. Of those, 435,719 were convicted criminals, and 226,847 had pending criminal charges. Only a scant 14,994 of them were in federal custody. The rest have been allowed to continue to harm our people and their property with impunity.

This complete failure to protect our citizens has led to the loss of innocent young Americans like Jocelyn Nungaray, Laken Riley and Lizbeth Medina. Under Trump, no longer will the rape and murder of our sons and daughters be brushed off in the name of “tolerance.”

While blue-state elected officials are already devising plans to protect violent illegal immigrants from deportation, Texas and our General Land Office are united with President-elect Trump.

This is why we have created “The Jocelyn Initiative,” in which the GLO will locate all land under my jurisdiction that the federal government can use for deportation operations of criminal illegal immigrants.
...

The Biden open borders policy was a disgrace.  It was worthy of his impeachment for failure to defend the borders both in Mexico and Canada.  Biden has let in millions of illegals and it will be a real challenge to remove all of them.  The US should start with the removal of known criminals after they finish their sentences for crimes in the US.
