Saw on NewNation this morning where some Texans living near the border have taken all the valuables out of their homes. One man said he and others have resorted to not locking their homes anymore because of the growing number of break ins from immigrants. Less damage if the house is unlocked, no broken windows or door frames.

One home had a surveillance camera showing an immigrant smashing a large window to gain entry into a home. The homeowner wasn't home at the time but saw the break in on his phone. He called the law and the immigrant was apprehended in the home. He claimed he broke in the home because he saw a phone on a table and wanted to use it to call 911. After further investigation, they found there was no phone and the man had a phone himself.

Life is cheap down on the border and always has been. Looks like property is on that list with 12 of the last 16 years having Biden and Obomber in charge.

I heard from my gun seller a guy came in from AZ and said they moved to WI from border and just left the house two blocks from border because it had become worthless. People bathing in their pool, trash on the lawn, metal border fence cut thru with grinders every time it was repaired, cut like hinges to drive back and forth.

I was friends with a Korean War veteran, who lived on a ranch on the border, right after getting out of the service. He lived with a bunch of other young vets. They had trouble with Mexicans coming over, stealing, rustling cattle and cutting fences. They started shooting towards and throwing grenades at the invaders. The invasions stopped. I once asked him if they shot or killed any of the Mexicans. He told me they never bothered to check.

We had to leave our pickups unlocked too close to downtown in New Orleans a couple of years ago. Drivers side windows add up. The officers told us they had had 30 such call outs the night before and his partner insisted that wasnt anywhere near the record.

And that was in a nice neighborhood.

Shoot and shovel, probably wouldn't last long.

Been telling yall this for years Just need to dig some deep trenches with a Big Dozer, no need to shovel, just send public works out to pick up the dead ones and throw em in the trench. Need A10's making strafing runs along the border, Spook up in orbit rained down heyull on anyone coming from the south. Send out notice that all will be killed that try to breach our country. Men, women and children. Dont show up if you dont want to die. Then deputize all who wish to serve as bounty hunters to collect all who have entered and force load them into the big Hercules transports with WWII era static line chutes on them. shove them out over the Brazilian jungles and tell them its near mexico city. If we are gonna allow lawlessness, then lets practice such in return. Any elected person that dares speak out gets to make the jump with the invaders upon their return. Take their wife and kids with them. one way to shut up the stupidity and actually accomplish something positive for this country,

Include the elected politicians on the big transport planes with the illegals but provide them with dummy parachutes.

I’m disappointed in the people of Texas. Always thought they took care of business.

go to Eagle Pass, El Paso and Del Rio and look towards the river. they are there in droves. Perhaps we begin flying them to where you live at the rate they are invading. Pretty sure you would see it then

If your gonna shoot, shovel & shut up with those numbers coming over the boarder, better have a good sized excavator & plenty of diesel fuel.

That's why Biden didn't go there.

Couple of them get shot by a citizen the law would be there quick and wouldn't be a catch and release for the citizen.
