BORDER SHOWDOWN: Texas to Defy Biden Admin\u2019s Order to Give Feds Access to Park Along Rio Grande<\/strong><\/a> The state appears to be standing firm as a Biden administration deadline of \u201cthe end of the day\u201d for the state to remove the gates and allow unimpeded access to the Border Patrol approaches. General Counsel Jonathan Meyer, on behalf of the Department of Homeland Security, communicated it to Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton in a letter on January 10.<\/p>\n As reported by Breitbart Texas, the DHS letter to Paxton was sent in response to the seizure of Shelby Park a few days earlier under a Texas statute for law enforcement and disaster relief purposes by Abbott in response to the border crisis impacting his state. The DHS letter to Paxton cited the statutory authority granted to Border Patrol agents to patrol private lands within 25 miles of the border without a warrant. The letter warned the state was impeding the federal agents with the seizure of the property and the conditions placed upon the Border Patrol for entry.<\/p>\n In response to the demands made by the Department of Homeland Security in Counsel Meyer\u2019s demand to grant unimpeded access to the Border Patrol, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton responded in a letter on Wednesday. In his response to DHS, Paxton disputed the arguments made in their cease and desist letter, saying:<\/p>\n Texas allows prompt entry into Shelby Park by any U.S. Border Patrol personnel responding to a medical emergency, and this access is not \u201climited to use of the boat ramp,\u201d as you say. TMD has ordered its Guardsmen not to impede lifesaving care for aliens who illegally cross the Rio Grande. To that end, TMD has erected gates that allow for rapid admission when federal personnel communicate the existence of some medical exigency.<\/em><\/p>\n Paxton went on to say:<\/p>\n President Biden has been warned in a series of letters, one of them hand-delivered to him in El Paso, that his sustained dereliction of duty in securing the border is illegal. By instructing your agency and others to ignore federal immigration laws, he has breached the guarantee, found in Article IV, \u00a7 4 of the U.S. Constitution, that the federal government \u201cshall protect each of [the States] against Invasion.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n The battle over control of the park now finds the City of Eagle Pass, who opposes the state seizure of Shelby Park, and the federal government on the same side of the issue. When the Secure Fence Act was passed in 2006, the city battled with the federal government over the construction of the border fencing, which would ultimately leave Shelby Park inside the border fence and walled off from the city.<\/p>\n Then-President George W. Bush signed the 2006 bipartisan fence bill after passage with the support of 80 senators, including then-senate and future presidents Joseph Biden and Barrack Obama. Democrat Senators Chuck Schumer and Hilary Clinton also supported the measure. Ultimately, the city lost its bid to prevent the construction of a 1.8-mile, 14-foot-tall border fence was constructed.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n SO. One side in this dispute\u2014let\u2019s call them the Real American Patriots, or RAPs, for short\u2014seeks to re-establish and maintain the basic, fundamental right of the citizens of the great Republic of Texas to a secure, safe, and well-protected southern border. The other\u2014let\u2019s call them Evil America-hating Traitor Scum, or EAhTS\u2014consists of RINO George, Pedo Pete Bribem, Ogabe, Schemer, Her Herness\u2122, the CBP\/FederalGovCo, and city officials of Eagle Pass, who seek to subject not only the decent, hard-working citizens of Texas but the entire nation to an unrestricted invasion of hordes of unvetted, unassimilated, disease-rife illegal aliens from all over the (Third) world across a wide-open, unguarded border-in-name-only.<\/p>\n Thankfully, though, we can trust the Republican\u2019ts in Washington to stand up for us against the Swamp traitors of the D\u5350M\u262dCRAT Party, right? Right?<\/p>\n RIIIGHT?!?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Um. Yeah, about that.<\/p>\n McConnell Ally John Thune Pushes Senate Open Borders Deal: \u2018Unique Moment in Time\u2019<\/strong><\/a> The retreat would hand the White House a key election year win and surrender the best leverage Republicans have had in decades to make substantive changes in border policies that could alleviate one of the American people\u2019s greatest concerns potentially for generations.<\/p>\n Senate negotiators have led efforts for months to pair some sort of border security package with billions of supplemental funding, primarily to advance Ukraine\u2019s floundering war efforts against Russia. The war has been deadlocked for almost a year, with untold hundreds of billions spent and countless lives lost.<\/p>\n Yet hesitancy for more foreign aid and demands for a truly substantive border package from Speaker Mike Johnson\u2019s (R-LA) Republican House led to the search for a compromise on the two issues.<\/p>\n Leaded details of the deal, which essentially amount to a surrender at the border, have received widespread condemnation, with Johnson indicating he will not move that bill through the House.<\/p>\n On Wednesday, Biden is hosting Congressional leaders at the White House to flex his muscles and pressure Johnson to surrender.<\/p>\n Thune\u2019s latest position appears supportive of Biden\u2019s tactics, insisting that the leaked deal is worth supporting.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n God bless Mike Johnson for standing firm, so far at at any rate. God damn the loathsome John Thune and all who sail in him straight to Hell for selling Real Americans and their best interests down the river\u2014the Rio Grande, specifically.<\/p>\n Both links via Sefton, who heads today\u2019s Morning Report with this image<\/a>:<\/p>\n Heh.

EAGLE PASS, Texas \u2014 As of Wednesday afternoon, Army National Guard soldiers remain posted at temporary gates erected at the entrance to a city-owned park along the Rio Grande. The park was seized by order of Texas Governor Greg Abbott and closed off to Border Patrol agents unless their entrance into the area is first coordinated with state law enforcement and the Texas Military Department.<\/p>\n\n
Sen. John Thune (R-SD) has locked arms with President Joe Biden in calling for a deal to surrender to unlimited migration that would include tens of billions in foreign aid to Ukraine.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/coldfury.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/FifthColumnComics.jpg\" "\\"FifthColumnComics.jpg\\"")
