I applaud our service members who did not shoot.

But it could of easily turned out to be different.

New videos on Thursday show a "riot" of illegal migrants attempting to enter the United States from Mexico at the El Paso border in Texas as a reporter said the Texas National Guard was "overrun by migrants."

Crossings on the southwest land border in Texas totaled 68,260 in January, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection data—a drop from the 149,806 migrants who entered in December, but still among the highest rates in the country, further encouraging state officials to try and take matters into their own hands.

Efforts by Republican Texas Governor Greg Abbott and other conservative officials to enact their own immigration laws, allowing for the arrest, detainment and removal of suspected illegal immigrants, continue to be litigated.

After the Supreme Court voted Tuesday to allow the law—Texas Senate Bill 4—to be enacted, the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals placed the legislation back on hold.





The scene was described as a "riot" by New York Post reporter Jennie Taer, who said that there were hundreds of migrants who had "decided they had enough" of Texas soldiers returning them to Mexico.

"This is the moment when TX National Guard became overrun by migrants rioting to get across the border here in El Paso today," Taer wrote in a post on X, accompanied by a different angle of the scene from the U.S. side of the border. "We were there and saw it all happen. Absolute chaos here."

In a separate video posted by Taer on X, she described the moment Texas National Guard became "overrun by migrants" as a fence is seen being pulled down. Taer also described the scene as "absolute chaos."

All we need is a giant wall of derp!



You love this shit. Otherwise you'd be calling your GOP reps to pass the bill they asked the Democrats to pass instead of shooting it down. Buh-bye

I bet you love this...... what is you call it?

Chit?

Watch all of it then chime back to us

 
MAGAs WANT to see guns firing at immigrants. They're drooling at their keyboards hoping for it.
The video shows us how our troops showed restraint.
 
I support passing Senator Lankford's bipartisan immigration bill so that our Border Patrol has the resources it needs to prevent things like this from happening. In contrast to the soft-on-crime radicals in Congress (and on the Republican presidential ticket) who want to defund the border police.
 
For what? Not shooting a crowd of unarmed people?


They didn't demonstrate "restraint", they followed the law. Do we applaud people for following the law regularly?
LMAO

What a joke defending these clowns.
 
The silence from the left here is acknowledged.

Looks like Kent State.

I advocated giving the Border Patrol the resources they need. That's not silence, you simply ignored it because it's inconvenient since you wish to defund the police.

Looks like Kent State.
What a weird comparison. Are you suggesting that the Texas National Guard should have killed the migrants? Are you suggesting that the outcome at Kent State was a good thing? What are you even trying to say?
 
As climate change gets worse, you’re going to see more of stuff like this.

I don’t like it but we are already seeing climate migration.

We should go ahead and pass the bipartisan immigration bill to shore up our border now.

This is a good post.

Biden is ready to fix the border.

Trump and the GOP want to play politics instead

Nonsense.
The O/P said the opposite. I'm going to assume he's voting for Trump.
I, too, applaud our border patrol for showing restraint. If Trump is the nominee, I'm voting for him.

You appear to be tossing shit at the wall and hoping it sticks.

Biden had over three years to fix the border. This is his border crisis and IMHO, will be the main issue that keeps him from winning reelection.
 
What’s nonsense about not cheering for people acting as they are expected?



And?

Participation trophies all around!

No one doubted that 😂

You should apologize for making an irresponsible statement where you used violent rhetoric.
