Governor Abbot is building a military base in Eagle Pass to house 2,000 soldiers. He sees Eagle Pass as a strategic location. It’s Ground zero for illegal immigration into Texas.
This is an expansion of Operation Lone Star. The base should be operational by mid-April.
The Texas Guard was spread out, staying in border hotels. It’s unknown how much this costs, but the legislature budgeted five billion dollars for the border.
Gov. Abbott said Texas has multiple cases going on with the Federal government. Imagine this insanity? Watch the clip:

Kinda sounds like the U.S. Army outposts they had across the Western Frontier in the 1800’s. Abbott has proven an old axiom, that our foreign enemies have already figured out. Most loud mouth bullies, once faced with a formidable adversary, are proven cowards,. Biden is a coward.
This is great news. This may be the nucleus of a movement by the states to protect themselves from our dangerous federal government.
Abbott has become an unlikely hero. After he defied the feds, no retaliatory acton has resulted. That is a green light for more defiance.
Texas has 3 military groups associated with the Texas Military Department. Only 1 of them in national guard. Texas is prepared to defend itself, including help from other states. If the feds act, there would be a major backlash.
