As a Texan, I support this initiative and will gladly pay my part. We could even set up a “Go Fund the Wall” and accept donations from the other states.
I also support auctioning off a date with Chanel Rion to really jump start contributions!!
Love the idea. But, they better simultaneously pass legislation that allows them to immediately deport illegals who come through states like California and New Mexico, and then gain entry into Texas. They might even need their own state-funded ICE to enforce.
Get ready for the courts to block this. Precedent set during 08-16 years when states tried to do this, and it was established that it was an enumerated power to only have the federal government have jurisdiction with a states border as long as the border was against a foreign nation.
Still should just push forward, courts don’t seem relevant. No standing, moot.
Exactly. If the feds say "Stop building wall!" and Texas says "Sorry, can't hear you over the sound of hjow much I don't give a f*ck what you think" what are the feds going to do? Go in with troops? The commie regime is hanging on to their illusion of power by a thread as it is.
Government at any level in the USA only ever had power because the citizens consented to that power, meaning that enough citizens agreed to go along with or enforce government edicts, even against fellow citizens. If we remove consent, they can THREATEN to do stuff, but they won't really have the power or balls to do it.
Honestly, good. Let the enemy make the first move, and openly against a legitimate State government for all to see. Let them galvanize our resolve and give us a banner to rally under. There are a lot of patriots who would do a lot more if they knew they wouldn't be isolated and arrested as lone crazies. Let those patriots rally under the legitimate legal authority of the State of Texas in defense of their State.
Agreed, I've always felt the states should just continue the walls. Forget the federal government. Especially if it didn't cost as much as you'd think to construct it in the first place.
Why don’t we just shoot people who cross illegally? It would be so much cheaper and effective. These people are violating the national sovereignty of the USA.
Texas should be creating their own military force to repel the enemy combatants before they can get across the border. Also, land mines. The border needs to be landmined with millions upon millions of mines. Trump reversed the ban on production and use of landmines, so let’s get the border mined!
It's long overdue for the states to revoke power from the federal government, and then told the federal government where to stick it when it inevitably complains.
While I like this idea, we never stopped paying for the current wall that Biden stopped building. All of the contractors are still being paid while nothing is being built.
Amendment X
"The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."
I would like to see where in the Constitution that delegates the power to build a wall in Texas.
This is the way the states were designed to work, after all. The federal government has been given all its power by lazy states who aren't interested in solving their own problems.
The drinking age is 21 y.o. across all states due to it being a condition of acceptance of federal highway funds. See how easy it is for the feds to dishonor the Constitution and force their will upon the states?
Let the federal government help you out, and you are eternally indebted ... like the Mafia.
just so y’all know- illegals come through buses that travel internationally. they need to target bus stations. they travel from mexico into America and arrive to the greyhound bus station and then they walk out the bus station and never go back. seen it before in McAllen
If Arizona and Texas can pull it off, that covers almost all of the border. California and New Mexico are small borders in comparison, and there are already some border walls there.
Would definitely make border patrols life much easier, although in retaliation faggot liberal commies in power would probably demand they leave in walled areas unguarded for “reasons”
Fellow pedes, we need to throw our full support behind this! This is how we take back our country. Anyone know if there are any petitions to sign for this? Any organizations that have started the process? If no one replies I'll look into it myself and make a post detailing what I found. We. Need. This.
Wall is pointless because leftists exist and they will invade you. Very little you can do. Pass a law so they can't vote for at least 2 decades and have to take civic classes every 5 years.

Someone tried that for Trump and was just recently arrested for allegedly pocketing that money.
The NYC SDNY DA and Post Office hit job against Kolfage & Bannon?

That’s the one.
It was a political hit job.. I think Trump pardoned them or something
Nobody gave a fuck about the donation money, they just wanted CNN to go REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Racist repubricans donated 150 MILLION dollars to build the border wall...
It was a giant troll move and everyone got refunded
arrested for stealing? must not be in government
lets not forget that a whole bunch of gate parts are just sitting around on state property. I think they should seize them for starters.
Love the idea. But, they better simultaneously pass legislation that allows them to immediately deport illegals who come through states like California and New Mexico, and then gain entry into Texas. They might even need their own state-funded ICE to enforce.
I like the idea of state funded ICE. Federalizing things tends to mess it up.
Lol Biden might finally take the border seriously to send in troops...
... to prevent Texas from protecting itself.
Not on the Mexico side. But the California side
Both.
Throw Portland in there too
Kek
How about we make a deal, Texas covers building the southern wall while Arizona handles building one on their western border.
This!!!
Its been tried before and the result was the Jackasses sued the state to block the new law.

That's cool. But the US Supreme Court no longer has standing in Texas as far as I'm concerned.
It's moot!
The wall is already built, therefore it is moot.
True. But now's the time for them to call their bluff and do it anyway.
Texan here. Can we just go ahead and secede while we’re at it?
Better hurry before Californians and Illegals turn your state blue.
Get ready for the courts to block this. Precedent set during 08-16 years when states tried to do this, and it was established that it was an enumerated power to only have the federal government have jurisdiction with a states border as long as the border was against a foreign nation.

My opinion is if the federal government refuses to enforce laws, they forfeit the right to the states.
This is exactly right, I don't give a fuck what federal judges say on the matter either. Let them try to enforce their decrees.
So build it a few feet back from the actual border. Then it’s just a structure in Texas, built by Texas. Feds have no standing.
make them try to enforce it
Exactly. If the feds say "Stop building wall!" and Texas says "Sorry, can't hear you over the sound of hjow much I don't give a f*ck what you think" what are the feds going to do? Go in with troops? The commie regime is hanging on to their illusion of power by a thread as it is.

I think that's a realistic possibility.
Well, if they do, then we get the Great Cleansing that we all know we need. Which is exactly why they won't do it.

I love Ken Paxton. No homo.

Why don’t we just shoot people who cross illegally? It would be so much cheaper and effective. These people are violating the national sovereignty of the USA.
We have no choice but to build the wall or start shooting.
Let's do both.

No worries, Teddy Cruz is headed to Israel for their security.

Ken Paxton for TX Governor!!!
Only problem is that immigration is a Federal issue, not state. So this shit gets stopped in the courts by a Hawaiian judge.
That is oldthink. The Supremes established that there isn't anything they can do when States decide to ignore laws...
Amendment X "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."
I would like to see where in the Constitution that delegates the power to build a wall in Texas.
Unless the states just do it anyway. Judges don't have the means to enforce anything.
Build that fucking wall! Unleash militia men to hold it down! All we need is our state to back us!
I love Wendy! such a pleasant surprise for this area of AZ
Now let's take the logic one little step further:
If a state can build a wall to keep people from entering it illegally, they can also take action against those who have already entered it illegally.
Build walls on three sides of New Mexico as well.
I would like to invade her bum. God she's hot.
I volunteer my services.
Texas plans on spending 800 million AT A MINIMUM shuttling illegals. Finish the wall already.
Build a wall and landmine the border too!
We tried this exact thing in Arizona in the 90s-00s and got sued into oblivion by commie bastards.
This is the way the states were designed to work, after all. The federal government has been given all its power by lazy states who aren't interested in solving their own problems.

Let the federal government help you out, and you are eternally indebted ... like the Mafia.
Build a western wall too.
YES YES YES - A MILLION TIMES YES.
States rights matter!
If you need someone to pump rounds into invaders at the border, I am free this summer. Would be a sweet summer job >:)
If they're smart, it will be a north wall
THE MELTDOWN R/TEXAS IS HAVING IS GLORIOUS
Good. What does the federal government do for Us?
just so y’all know- illegals come through buses that travel internationally. they need to target bus stations. they travel from mexico into America and arrive to the greyhound bus station and then they walk out the bus station and never go back. seen it before in McAllen
im sure emperor biden will claim jurisdiction of the border and tear it all down
They should have done this years ago, instead of waiting for the useless Feds to do their jobs.
Too late.
If Arizona and Texas can pull it off, that covers almost all of the border. California and New Mexico are small borders in comparison, and there are already some border walls there.
Would definitely make border patrols life much easier, although in retaliation faggot liberal commies in power would probably demand they leave in walled areas unguarded for “reasons”
You have my sword
Not sure why they didn't do this decades ago. Let New Mexico have all the illegals.
Fellow pedes, we need to throw our full support behind this! This is how we take back our country. Anyone know if there are any petitions to sign for this?

Go full MAGA and put a wall around Texas to keep the commies out.
Use Federal contribution money for it.
BUILD THAT FUCKING WALL, THAT IS ALL!
Then throw the Hispanic trash over the fence.
Doesn't matter. As long as they get to the wall, Texas lets them in and sends them all over the country.
Chanel Rion!
A surprise, to be sure, but a welcome one!
