You ain't seen nuthin yet. The latest caravan of border jumper are openly confronting, and assaulting Mexican police trying to stop them.
POS Biden has already said that he is gonna let Title 42 expire, and with that, the Border Patrol, Texas National Guard, Texas Dept of Public Safety Troopers, and County Sheriff's will be totally overwhelmed.
It's bad now, but about to get a lot worse.
How many are in the Texas national guard? If fully activated by the Governor I would imagine they could handle the border.
Almost 21,000 total, but they are restricted by federal law, just like the Border Patrol. They are in an "assist capacity" and generally unarmed. Cannot support families on Guard pay, and have full time jobs at home.
Also, Texas shares 1,254 miles of border with Mexico, and 28 international bridges.
Texas gdp is 1.5 trillion a year, but sends most of it to the United States government in the form of taxes.
In the present conditions Texas would be better off secedeing, keeping our resources, and literally going it on our own.
That move WOULD get the feds down here. For the wrong reasons.
