Shouldn't we treat the cartel like an enemy of our nation?

[curtisbrown]

Can you arrest people that are helping the gangs? American politicians that are complicit shouldn't be exempt from this.

[maryblessing]

American citizens, you know what we’re up against. Be ready to defend yourself, your family, your property, your community, and your city. ❤

[TRONABORON]

Govenor Abbott- can you also arrest the Governor's of CA, CO, IL, NY. as "ACCOMPLISES." ⚖️

[jackuzi]

We spend $100 billion to fight Russia in Ukraine, but nothing to defend ourselves.

[gonzo]

Thank you Texas for being the first state to have the balls to do something about the criminals

[jimdunkle]

How about letting the citizens defend themselves against the criminals!!! As a citizen, if you don't have insurance, it may cost $100, 000 or more to defend yourself in court. And then the criminals can sue you just for defending your family! It's time to stop this BS! There are BAD people here and our GOV let them in!!! And if we defend ourselves, we are the ones who has to pay!!!!

Where is the national guard? Where is DHS? Where is the Biden Admin? State governments should not be burdened with national border security.

Look at them 6 brave men standing in the back. They serve the state of Texas putting their life's on the line daily to keep up safe!! Thank you for your service!! I appreciate you guys!!

[yvonnecuret]

Oh my GOD! Help us all and PROTECT Us from this situation here in Texas! ❤🙏❤️🙏❤️

[munsterr-izow]

I submit that the current admin should now be expelled and prosecuted for allowing criminals into the country

[maryjo]

Why isn't the Biden administration held accountable for this mess we are in!!!!

[passionatecanadian]

As a Canadian and former Border officer. Remember, we cannot keep, what we are unwilling to protect!

[janemoore]

Thank you Texas for your efforts to keep Texas and the rest of our country safe from these criminal gangs. I am grateful.

[karencalderwood]

Thank you Texas for doing your best to protect Americans! We appreciate you.

[Oilfieldtrash]

We need all citizens to protect themselves

[christopherbasham]

Why bother with the courts to solve the problem? Let the Texas National Guard solve the problem. You know how.

[menotyou]

Good job texas. Keep doing whats important for your citizens.

[Theendisnear]

GOD Bless Texas! Thank you Gov. Abbott!

[beni]

And just another thing we can thank the incompetence of the current administration for.
