President Barack Obama, for political reasons, has created the immigration crisis. He is illegally granting amnesty to five million illegal aliens, and wants border security to be weakened. For Obama, American security comes secondary to expanding welfare programs and creating new Democratic voters.
And no state is more affected by Obama’s amnesty agenda than Texas. That’s why the Lone Star state just made history by passing America’s most comprehensive and toughest border law in America. This new state law provides once unheard of funding to secure the border, creates a Child Sex Trafiicking Prevention Unit to stop the cross-border sex trade while increasing penalties for human trafficking, and expands the border protection unit. The bill seeks to be reimbursed by Obama’s Federal government, which has been criminally negligent on its treatment of Texas’ Southern border.
Gov. Greg Abbott, who is probably the most conservative governor in America, discussed the threat of illegal immigration during the recent State of State address:
“We are doing this because border security has turned out to be a real challenge for the people of this state, not just on the border region but across communities across the entire state of Texas,” the Texas governor said.
Because of the magnitude of the challenge, Abbott declared securing the border an emergency issue. He added, “And the Texas legislature responded profoundly, and strongly.”
And he put Obama in his place!:
In seeking this reimbursement, Gov. Abbott said, “Texas is willing to shoulder the responsibility, we expect the federal government to foot the bill.”
And noted Texas is doing the job the Federal government is refusing to do:
The Governor ended the ceremony by saying, “Now together these laws establish a comprehensive border security plan that will keep our state and our communities a safer place.”
Abbott signed the bills into law and declared, “Texas is now a safer place.”

This is fantastic news! Texas’ border has been unsecured for too long. Texas – with its lack of an income tax and a booming business economy – is a model for what conservative leadership can look like. Just think how much better the Lone Star state would be if there was a competent leader in the White House too?

He did the right thing, however I would want to know (if I still lived in the state I was born and raised in) does this apply to all the borders of Texas? It should.
And more coming every day tic toc
I’m so glad, but why did they wait so long? They have all kinds of radical refugees/immigrants down there?
I’m all for it, Now all we need is New Mexico, and Arizona, and Louisiana to follow suit.
we will stand by our govenor 100%
Hooray for Texas! It’s about time someone stood up to that Tyrant, put him in his place where he should be. Lets just hope he don’t push his executive authority to the breaking point.
Yahoo, Texas and what about the law that if an illegal that has a crime, like murder, has to be let go after 6 months if he/she has not had a hearing or trial?
The booming business economy sounds good, until Texas stats are compared with 49 other states. Tx is in the bottom half in many areas. In per capita crime statistics, Texas is in the top of the top half in several crime areas. http://www.texastribune.org/library/data/fbi-crime-statistics-2010/
As far as new border laws for Tx are concerned, the Obama administration has violated border and immigration laws long since on the books. Why would he honor new ones ?
One wonders if this article is some type of propaganda?
you damn right I stand with Texas Im a Texas Native and Texas needs to secure its borders in fact lets go one more step stop letting them in totally we would be a lot safer as a nation.
Yes,yes, and yes again!!!!!!!
Texas!
National security is the explicit Constitutionally-assigned responsibility of the federal government—including the duty to protect this nation against foreign invaders.
By giving aid and comfort to these invading foreign Criminals, not only is President Obama and his administration committing criminal-level malfeasance, by acting against his Constitutional duty; but he is also committing treason, as defined in Article III Section 3 of the Constitution.
I see no basis for federal immigration authority in the Constitution.
The Constitution authorizes the feds to make “naturalization” rules (how to become a citizen once you’re ‘in’)…by NOT mentioning immigration itself in conjunction with ‘naturalization’ our Founders’ intent is quite clear: immigration is a State empowerment….as it should be: it’s YOUR neighborhood! YOU should decide, not someone else!
Whatever happened to the “Sovereignty Movement” of a few years ago? Possibly 30 States who stood defiantly in the face of our invasive federal government?
THIS is what is needed NOW! (backed up by armed militia)

Hell,I live in Texas and wouldn’t live anywhere else. BO hates Texas, along with most of the Progressive Liberal ass kisses that hang on his every word. Needless to say, he is not very well-liked except by the obvious few.
All P I READERS should seriously consider relocating to the Lone Star State.
We have everything here. Ever one that I know who has made the move is LOVING their life here.
Texas has everything you find in the other 49 – maybe even more, except we’re not afraid to fight for our freedom; we’ve done it before, remember?
If you like 4 seasons, a reasonable cost of living, a lot of house for your money, no state income tax or personal property tax, tons of entertainment plus mountains, desert, seashore, piney woods and the airline hub of the US, you should move here.
Better not wait to long……we’d love to have you, that is, if you’re not a rag head trouble-maker. Then you should just go home.
I STAND WITH TEXAS! I also believe that TEXAS should withhold all monies collected by the state for the feds, be withheld from the feds to fund the border security law, they just in acted. If the state kept their monies, they wouldn’t need the fed’s to give back their monies.
YES!!!!! I stand with Texas!!!!
If Obama refuses to pay, Texas should tap the banks for the collected funds for the Federal Government.
This is a great day for Texas and a great day for the United States Thankyou Texas
Good for Texas. We knew we could count on you. Now we just need New Mexico and Arizona to do the same. Pass the word on to them please. :)
Way to go Texas!!! I love Texas
Way to go Texas!
These are the pro’s, obama’s are not and he is illigal.
Good job Texas
get the one out that brought them here
Hoorah for Texas, so happy for its one of the largest opened border for immagrates to cross over on, now Fla. needs to make this stand, and Arizona. And train more officers in the deportation process, so we can get these 5 million illegals out of our country who have no ties here. And the largest illegals are muslims, they def. need to go..Obama flew millons of them in on OUR military planes. And they should leave the same way!! We need to stop this BS in its tracks, this will NEVER be a muslim Amerikka!! Not aslong as theres millions of Americans who dont want them here. You may be able to bully the POTUS, but you wont bully America!! We need to work on getting the muslims out of America!!!
Way to go Texas.
Texas is within the top 12 economies in the WORLD. They have created more jobs, per capita, than Obama or his non-existent job’s council
Neither should you ya two bit liberal complainer.
The Political Insider needs to hire an adult to edit the article headlines to remove “kid speak” like ‘epic’ and “slammed’. To be taken seriously by readers everywhere these titles should not sound juvenile.
Pat is completely wrong about going into Mexico. These days you are required to have a U S Passport to enter Mexico. A few years ago this was not the case, but today it is. That goes for Canada too.
Bill, you don’t need anything to go into mexico
we moved out of the States for many reasons
Most countries will jail you should you overstay your VISA and get caught.
To become legal in many countries you must be
1) fIngerprinted
2) YOUR CRIMINAL BACKGROUND MUST SHOW NO ARRESTS
3) you must invest in the new country; sometimes as little as $25,000 many countries want $500,000 and a promise to create jobs
Even a 3rd world country will jail people, but not the Obama administration
California lets illegals in undeterred. Then they ship them all over the country. Arizona has their hands tied and the government goes after the boarder Patrol if they even do anything to stop illegals from coming in and no one knows what New Mexico is doing. Obama has set it up so that Mexican trucks come through the boarder and most of the trucks are just waved though. Try going into Mexico with out a pass port and visa. You will go to jail.
He did the right thing, however I would want to know (if I still lived in the state I was born and raised in) does this apply to all the borders of Texas? It should.
