The Border Patrol Versus The Texas National Guard
BY Herschel Smith2 years, 4 months ago
NEW: For the first time, we witnessed the TX National Guard close & lock a gate on private property at a major crossing area in Eagle Pass, denying entry to migrants who just crossed illegally & expected to be let in. Border Patrol then came w/ a key & let them in for processing. pic.twitter.com/S1fZaTJnEi

This is easy. The governor of Texas could handle this with the stroke of a pen.
Issue arming orders to the Texas National Guard. Tell them to monitor the passing. If the Border Patrol follows orders from above and comes to open the passing, arrest them and put them into indefinite confinement along with arrested or detained migrants.
The same lack of will has occurred in Missouri where they actually have the tools to do their job but won’t use them.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has so far randomly audited 24 sheriff’s offices in Missouri in search of concealed carry weapon (CCW) details, but they all refused to comply, according to law enforcement authorities.
“None released anything pertaining to CCWs themselves, but some did partially comply by answering procedural questions on issuing CCWs,” said Moniteau County’s Sheriff Tony Wheatley.
Don’t do that. Confiscate their weapons and seize their credentials, arrest them on the spot, and either take them to the state border and release them or throw them into jail. Tell them never to come back.
This will get worse until the states stand up for themselves.
