These Wins for Texas are Wins for a Secure America

Texas secured three judicial victories in recent days—is this the start of a winning streak for national security? First, the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans ruled that the state’s buoy barrier could remain in the Rio Grande River near Eagle Pass. In 2023, the state of Texas installed a 1,000-foot marine buoy...

Illegal Aliens Breaching Military Bases: A Growing Terrorism Threat

Being born and raised along the Texas-Mexico border, I have firsthand experience of how the border crisis and the threat of domestic terrorism has heightened. After three years and more than 10 million illegal aliens, and after a growing increase in military base breaches, enough is enough. What more is it going to take for...

Biden’s Border Executive Order Is Not Border Security

President Joe Biden is slated to sign an executive order today “to secure the border,” an action which he has failed to do since he came into office. Four years into the worst national security crisis the U.S. has faced since 9/11, the president now hints that he actually can do something to secure the...

Sanctuary Cities Reveal Their Hypocrisy

Hypocrisy runs deep in D.C., especially when it comes to the border. Today during a Congressional budget hearing, we got to witness yet another example of leftist hypocrisy when Democratic Congresswoman Lauren Underwood of Illinois talked about migrants going to sanctuary cities. Her issue was not the influx of migrants due to our open southern...

House’s Border Bill is Vastly Superior to Senate’s

By now you’ve probably read about the disastrous Senate bill released in a late Sunday news dump. Unfortunately, while the American people beg the nation’s leaders to take responsibility for border security, the Senate has instead released 370 pages of lawless insanity. What’s even more infuriating after reading this pointless bill is knowing that the...

Under Biden, We Don’t Know Who’s Coming Into the US

Pierre Lucard Emile, an illegal alien from Haiti, raped and beat a developmentally disabled person in Boston, according to prosecutors. Emile arrived at the port of entry in Brownsville, Texas “where he was deemed inadmissible and issued a notice to appear,” according to ICE. In 2023, Peruvian national Emilio Vasquez-Santamaria was charged with murder after being arrested...

At the southern U.S. border, there’s less security and more lies

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) released its October 2023 monthly update and they did so earlier than usual. That is likely because this federal government is trying to take a victory lap, though the numbers prove that a victory is nowhere in sight. Actually, the Biden administration does tell you the truth, but they are...

Justice Department sides with cartels, not Texans

Mexican government is no partner of U.S. on illegal immigration. The Department of Justice and the state of Texas faced off in a preliminary injunction hearing on Tuesday, in which DOJ demanded that Texas remove the marine barrier in the Rio Grande. While it was clear that there would be pushback from the Biden administration,...

I’m From the Border; Here Is What I Want the Next President to Know

I was watching Taylor Sheridan’s new series “Lioness” recently, and I was surprised that a specific scene was actually aired—not because it was shocking, but because it was true. A hot extraction for a CIA operative in a rural south Texas town was going down, and when it was accomplished, one agent expressed his fear...

The Biden Admin is Fuming Over Texas’ Buoy Barrier

While Texas continues to attempt to secure its border, the Department of Justice (DOJ) disagrees with its methods. The DOJ filed a lawsuit on Monday against Texas for its use of the buoy marine barrier system, a system which has been implemented to protect lives and deter illegal border crossings along the Rio Grande River. The floating...

While the Feds Stand Down, Texas Steps Up on Border Security

While the federal government is missing in action as Texas border towns are overwhelmed by illegal immigrants, the Lone Star State is taking action. Since the inception of the Texas busing program more than 20,000 migrants have been relocated from the Texas cities to “sanctuary cities” to include Chicago, Denver, New York City, Philadelphia, and...

Biden’s Border Chaos Fuels Child Trafficking

What is happening along our international borders today is not just about illegal immigration or drug smuggling. It’s also about the rapid increase in human trafficking and modern-day slavery, which is flourishing with the chaos that open borders facilitate. With a record number of unaccompanied minors crossing into the U.S., it has become increasingly difficult to ensure...
