This Federal government overreach is insane. It's almost as if governors have no power to run their own states.

All we ask is America first and immigrants should come in legally. No one should be allowed to enter the US illegally. Must obey laws. Send them
.

Thank you Governor. God bless this country.

5000 in one day...I'd say its an invasion.

Arizona also climbing on board with Texas.

They have to seek asulum from the first country they come from, not go through six to get to US and stay and never go to the hearing. They are not allowed to do that.

What gets me angry is how they celebrate and high-five after successfully breaking our laws by forcing their way in! It’s not like they don’t know they are doing it!
They don’t give a crap that we don’t want them here!

Since the authority of the federal stupid government isnt doing their job by protecting our borders from any illegal immigrants according to the constitution then the state(s) should automatically take over and protect them. I am Hispanic born and raised in Texas and fought for this country. Send them back Gov Abbott and I will continue voting for you. Outstanding job 👏 👪

[steveh]

It is the governor's legal and moral responsibility to stop this invasion.

[KarenBass]

I'm in Texas... let the people who think they should be here should take them. I'm a victim of an illegal immigrant. One of my friends died by a 4 time deported illegal and a friend raped... get that wall up. No mercy was shown us. I'm disabled now and they get more rights than I do

"seek asylum the legal way, through the port of entry" 😉
