Not one of these politicians would allow a bunch of strangers to pour in their front door!

Any state that has a border with another country should be able to take any action necessary to defend their border

[Name-ewmh]

We have laws they aren’t enforcing. Why would we believe that they would enforce any new laws?

[TheresOnlyOneWayToRock]

Since when does congress need to make a deal to enforce laws?
Stand Strong Texas!

This is the marked beginning of the revolution.
Everybody get ready.
Stock up.
Not just ammo.
Water, Food, Tools, Lumber, Gasoline, And all of the household essentials.
It will take at least one year.
Don't try to isolate yourself alone.
We must form villages.
We must work shifts.
We must maintain a security force.
Team work.
Until then, Standby.

Texas has the right as does all states to protect their borders, people, and state safety.

Thank you governor Abbott. Despite being confined to a wheelchair, you have 10x the backbone of our current president.

Thank you Texas from Colorado! Front Range Denver is in chaos as a sanctuary city! Crime is up dramatically up here in this small Western Slope town! So much respect to the National Guard!

Time for true Americans to stand up for our rights, our Country and our Constitution. A corrupt Government has no place in America, to many have given their lives to make us free, and we all know, true freedom comes at a price, and it's time to stand tall and take our Country back.

It’s not up to the government, it’s up to Americans 🇺🇸 and we want it closed 😑 America 🇺🇸 people have the right to say No more, we’re full, no more occupancy !!
