Dozens of Republican Texas Reps. introduced their plan for securing the border Thursday that seeks to limit the number of migrants entering the country illegally.
The lawmakers, which included Reps. Dan Crenshaw and Chip Roy, hope to finish building a southern border wall, fix the policies permitting federal authorities to release illegal migrants into the country, allow Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to deport more individuals who are in the country illegally and designate the Mexican cartels as terrorist organizations, according to the plan. U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has encountered more than 2.3 million migrants at the southern border in fiscal year 2022 and an additional 230,000 in October.
“Texans are in imminent danger, and Texas leadership is right to use all powers under their authority to defend Texas’ border and its citizens. Taxpayers in Texas are spending more than $3 billion on border security operations. Texans are being pummeled by a nearly two-yearlong border surge – left to defend their lives and their property against violent criminals and murderous cartels,” the group wrote in the plan.

The plan proposes reforms to the asylum process, pointing out that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) reported in 2020 that they allowed only 8.1% of illegal immigrants encountered at the southern border between 2014 and 2019 permission to remain in the country. The Republicans seek to implement safe third country agreements, which require certain countries along migrants’ paths to the U.S. to accept some individuals for asylum.
When it comes to interior enforcement, the Republican lawmakers want to end the Biden administration’s attempts to limit ICE arrests and deportations. The Biden administration took action in September to restrict ICE’s targets solely to those that threaten border security, national security and public safety.
“We will not stand by while the Biden Administration knowingly pushes disastrous policies with complete disregard for what our state and country are enduring. We commit to paying Texas back for border operations and damages. We commit to forcing the administration to enforce our current laws, and to leverage the power of the purse to ensure that it does. And we commit to immediately shifting policy to bring much needed security to our state and country,” the lawmakers wrote in their plan.
The White House didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.

EDITOR’S NOTE: Leftwing billionaire George Soros bankrolls everything evil – most recently the 75 pro-criminal “Soros district attorneys” who have transformed America’s most dynamic cities into degraded, crime-infested hellscapes of skyrocketing violent crime. Soros also funds drug legalization, euthanasia, open borders, globalism, Black Lives Matter, “defunding the police,” devaluing America’s currency and destroying her sovereignty. But why?
Whistleblower magazine reveals and explores the stunning truth: Soros, an atheist, literally says he’s “some kind of god,” obsessed with re-creating the world in his image. Here are a few actual quotes from Soros: “If truth be known, I carried some rather potent messianic fantasies with me from childhood…” “It is a sort of disease when you consider yourself some kind of god, the creator of everything, but I feel comfortable about it now since I began to live it out.” “You know, in my personal capacity I’m not actually a selfless philanthropic person. I’ve very much self-centered.” “I am kind of a nut who wants to have an impact.” “Next to my fantasies about being God, I also have very strong fantasies of being mad. … I have a lot of madness in my family. So far I have escaped it.”
Except he hasn’t “escaped it.” Not only is Soros totally mad, but he’s imposing his insanity on America. See Soros and the leftwing world he has created and funded as never before in “THE BILLIONAIRE WHO THINKS HE’S ‘GOD’: Why George Soros is obsessed with destroying America.”
