Good.

Now let's see a clean sweep and total deportation before it gets overturned on some obscure technicality.

Is this OUR border or Ukraine's border. I'm confused.

You ARE confused, my boy. Seek help.

The best Supreme Court news yesterday was reported in the Wall Street Journal under the headline, “Supreme Court Won’t Block Texas From Arresting, Deporting Immigrants.”

In a 6-3 decision, the Supreme Court overturned a trial court stay and allowed the State of Texas to start arresting illegal immigrants for breaking state law. Right after that, the Fifth Circuit, in a split panel (2-1), scheduled an emergency hearing for today, suggesting the stay might be reimposed on other complicated, procedural grounds.

Depending on what happens today, the case could be headed right back to the Supreme Court. Still, it was progress, as Governor Abbott acknowledged:




The Supreme Court must decide whether or not we can commit national assisted-suicide at the border. And quickly.

Here's the footage! Including the part not shown on CNN!

LOL, how exactly do you "overrun" an armed infantry unit using a bunch of unarmed civvies? This whole NG deployment is a fucking circus.

PS. When Pukin's lapdog - Lukashenko - tried to push some "migrants" across Polish border their border guard units didn't get "overrun", because they were doing their job and using proper violence, not just posturing.

For the first time in my life, the defense forces of the United States are being used to defend the border of the United States.

Another huge executive order landed yesterday to mixed media reviews. CNN ran the story headlined, “Trump authorizes military to take control of federal land along US southern border.”




The Roosevelt Reservation is a a 60-foot-wide band of federally owned land established along the southern border of the United States by President Theodore Roosevelt in 1907. It was created by Presidential Proclamation and runs all along the US-Mexico line up to the Texas border. (Roosevelt’s Proclamation permitted Texas to police its own border area, which is also protected by the Rio Grande river.)

It was just the latest example of the Trump Team harvesting long-overlooked or unenforced statutes and regulatory pathways. No Administration has ever skipped this nimbly through the Nation’s law books, perhaps since it requires an exhaustive knowledge of byzantine, arcane, and forgotten elements of US law. Are they using AI or something?

Trump’s new memorandum dramatically elevated the military’s role in border enforcement, explicitly framing illegal immigration as an invasion requiring an emergency military solution. Finally! It expanded military authority, reallocated jurisdiction over border-proximate federal lands, and set the stage for intensified border security operations.

In particular, the memo authorized the DoD to take jurisdiction over all federal lands along the southern border, especially (but not only) the Roosevelt Reservation, for military activities including building border barriers and installing surveillance and detection systems. In other words, more bricks in The Wall.

It also gave Pete Hegseth authority to classify parts (up to all) of the Roosevelt Reservation as secure military installations, where unauthorized civilians face fines and prison sentences.

Rather than fruitlessly asking for Congressional permission, the memo invoked the 1958 Engle Act and the 1950 McCarran Internal Security Act, which together grant the President (via the Secretary of the Interior) broad authority to withdraw and reserve public lands for national defense purposes— bypassing the usual red-tape and congressional approvals that would typically be required by law.

This was only possible because of pieces Trump’s team carefully placed on the political chessboard starting from Day One. The two Acts could only be used after the declaration of an invasion and a national emergency— both of which were included in previous executive orders. How anyone can believe they are “winging it” is beyond my comprehension.

Now all they need is the 'Roosevelt Tunnel Reservation' for all the myriad tunnels criss crossing the border areas. "We're gonna need more hand grenades."

I'm sure it includes mineral rights, which allows them to dig theoretically to the center of the Earth and fill the MS13 tunnels with lava.

They need to do what they have to, but I'm tired of people wanting 10k people deported a day. Not possible and it will take time. If you cut the flow in though, that's a massive win for the country. I have no issue with the current approach.

We had millions coming in before. They'll get to the non-criminal illegals at some point but it will be slow. And yes before some moron says it I know they're illegal by entering the country. I'm talking illegals that have committed additional crime upon entering.

The rate of deportation has to increase dramatically. If Biden allowed 10 million illegals into the USA over 4 years we'll have to deport about 6800 a DAY to recover. Undoubtedly, the total number of illegals is likely twice to four times this amount. Most will vote democrat. If we start aggressively in Arizona, we might save a few seats in congress.

The energy and cost to deport is excessive compared to the self motivated invaders coming in and taking their chances here rather than their shit holes.

Ultimately, they have to starve here where it is unfamiliar rather than where they are familiar in their points of origin with language, etc. to motivate them to return. The more cancelled SS, welfare, cancelled health care, and cancelled Jesuit credit cards or anchor babies, the more self remanding back to point of origin will occur.

Oddly enough, many just want work and don't necessarily want to live here. They want to send money back to their families.

Cutting the flow across the border is step 1. Mostly Done. Shipping out killers, rapist, criminals is step 2. Ongoing. Fixing the voting records and SS is step 3. Ongoing.

Have to fix that stuff first before anyone should be defeated about the start to this presidency. From there you go to the greater population of illegals. Remember we have older illegals that will self deport. Others will self deport in fear. We're not going to see some round up of millions overnight and they're shipped out.

We've reversed the trend and got rid of a lot of bad guys in 3 months. Give it time. Understand with something like tariffs there's going to be short term pain. Landlords are going to get killed. It will reduce housing prices and investment property if they deport 2-4M in the next 3-1/2 years. And that's probably the max you'll get.
