Texas Considers Direct Deportation Busing for Migrants as New Border Strategy

[Social Media]

 

Texas is evaluating a plan to redirect buses carrying migrants to federal detention centers rather than sanctuary cities, aiming to facilitate quicker deportations, according to a source in the Lone Star State government. This initiative would expand Operation Lone Star, the state's ongoing effort to deter illegal crossings at its border.  

 

 

“We are always gonna be involved in border security so long as we’re a border state,” the source stated. “We spent a lot of taxpayer money to have the level of deterrent that we have on the border and we can’t just walk away.”  

 

 

The plan, not yet approved by Governor Greg Abbott, involves chartering buses from border towns and rerouting them to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facilities, bypassing cities such as New York, Chicago, and Denver, which had previously received migrants under the busing program. By collaborating with ICE, Texas aims to expedite processing and deportation while receiving federal reimbursement for transportation costs.  

 

“That’s a way we could be involved in that, and of course they would reimburse us for paying for the [bus] contract,” the source explained.  

Tom Homan, the incoming border czar under President-elect Donald Trump, expressed interest in the proposal and hinted at a potential partnership.

 

“I look forward to discussing that with them,” Homan said, referring to his upcoming talks with Texas officials. “We’re going to help them finish this job and secure Texas, and we’re going to work in partnership. And [Abbott] doesn’t have to worry about this administration suing him … to secure the Texas border.”  

 

Texas first launched its migrant busing program in 2022, sending nearly 120,000 individuals to major cities like New York, Washington, D.C., Philadelphia, Los Angeles, and Chicago. The initiative was intended to highlight border challenges to the rest of the nation. New York City alone received approximately 45,900 migrants during that period.  

 

The program paused during the summer of 2023 after illegal crossings into Texas declined, a decrease attributed to enhanced state border security efforts. The recent election of Donald Trump signaled a shift in national border policy, as voters rejected what Texas State Representative Brian Harrison described as President Biden’s “radical open borders policies” that “made less Americans safe.”  

 

In preparation for the incoming Trump administration, Texas is already offering land for new deportation centers along the border. Texas Land Commissioner Dawn Buckingham confirmed the state’s readiness. “My office has identified several of our properties and is standing by ready to make this happen on Day One of the Trump presidency,” Buckingham said during a border visit this week.  

 

Homan emphasized that the first wave of deportations would focus on illegal migrants deemed threats to public safety and national security. This prioritization aligns with Texas’s renewed commitment to safeguarding its border and its communities, an effort underscored by its determination to partner with federal authorities for efficient enforcement.

They have to get to the point that prospective illegals are unwilling to pay criminal gangs to get them to the border, and that will happen when most are either prevented from crossing, or are deported quickly.

Of course we could designate the cartels in that area as terrorist organizations and start killing them. That would help everybody.

[Cryingdick]

This is how it should have always worked. Another example of things Biden could have easily done and didn't. Oh that's right he was too busy sending the feds to cut down the razor wire. Hopefully as each day goes by it will become clearer how crazy Biden's border policies were. 

 

Dems might even stop lying about that bill being so important at some point. The good news is they will have the chance to cooperate and sign a bill even stronger

Make anybody found using smugglers ineligible to be considered for entry. At some point if you are an able bodied adult you aren't a victim of smugglers but a willing participant in criminal activity. Obviously i don't mean little kids but adults that agree to be smuggled in.

 

For minors all efforts to find their families and return them to blood relatives in their home country is made must be exhausted before possible consideration for temporary placement in the USA.

I have a British husband so am well versed in all of that.I took him to see Spamalot on Broadway for his birthday. Then we went marching up and down the square. That would be Times Square.

 

So yeah I. Have knowledge of a British TV show that lasted 2 seasons and is older than I am .

Just to get back on topic.

i do not think it was because he was too busy to do anything about it.. I think he was more thinking that he could use those voter to win elections for the Dems. Thankfully that failed and will continue to fail.

We both recognize there is an immigration problem. Raises the question if you and or family are at risk of life  what would stop you from seeking safety? I submit the answer, in large measure is addressing the reasons people flee the country of their birth where they know the language, culture, family ties. Simply building walls? Not the answer in history.

There's a thousand things I could say in response, so obviously I'm not going to, but just a few.

 

a/ Why does anyone living in a country where life is so bad one wants to walk through the Darien and all the way up Mexico have a family at all?

 

b/ why don't they do something about their own country before running away and expecting to be welcomed into another country for the rest of their life. Don't resistance groups exist in them all- man up, join up and do something about it.

 

c/ Who is paying for them to be able to get from wherever they are to the land of milk and honey, and how are they going to repay the debt? 

If they were rich they could take an aeroplane.

Hence the push by the woke to call them something that doesn't include the word "illegal".

Al Jazeera never calls them illegal.

I'm not sure why Al Jazeera is so pro illegal immigrants as I'm pretty sure Qatar doesn't allow people in rubber boats to stay after they get to shore.

I can only speak for myself, but I would never have a family in that situation.

 

Of course I was immensely fortunate that I never had the problem to have to deal with it.

 

Lets remember that for every one of those that go into debt to criminal traffickers, thousands do not and stay in their own country.

Migrants, undocumented immigrants (they throw them away) and the good old 'asylum' seekers are the usual lies to describe them. Round 'em up and kick 'em out.

Certainly true in my case. I chose to have a working middle class retirement in a lower cost country. I could not afford the same in the USA, thus I am an economic refugee (along with millions of other Americans). Yet another "outsourcing".
