At this speed, I don’t think we’ll survive 4 years under the present administration.
I don’t know how the border states will survive another onslaught of illegals into the country.
Will Border Patrol, US Customs & Immigration, and ICE refuse to obey the “edicts” from Uncle Joe?
Or will they blindly obey and make excuses like “It’s just my job. I have bills to pay.”?
If they refuse to guard our border, then I hope the Governor’s of the states will take some action to prevent (10’s of thousands?) of people swarming into their states that they’ll be forced to “take care of”.
If the state government doesn’t do anything, will the citizens of those states do something?
Or will we continue to take whatever they dish out?
I’m afraid “going gulch”, “snub”, “voting with our dollars” and “dragging our feet on compliance” won’t address this looming threat.
What say you?

Well, neither the governor of NM nor the governor of CA will do anything but encourage this invasion, so the efforts of TX and AZ will amount to nothing but a detour.
Well, I guess it’s up to the citizens (not far lefties) of said states then.
If they don’t at least try and do something, then I won’t feel sorry for them.
I can imagine mass exodus from NM to other red states to spread their far left voting as well.
Why can’t they stay and fix the mess they created instead of running to another place? Are they too outnumbered? Too scared?
In CO, 75% of the state is red, but the “front range” (which includes Denver metro-north) runs the whole state because of population (like most blue states).
They don’t care about the farmers, small biz, tourism, etc. Just their “dystopia”.
I guess it must go back to the conservatives obey the law thing. 🙁
I’m certain that you have listed the most significant reasons:
In the case of NM, I think the apathy is complicated by cultural phenomenon. This is a very poor State with many dependent upon the government dole. Such dependency, which was addressed at length in Bill and Zo’s latest conversation, breeds nothing but an innate fear of “stirring the pot.”
I guess I just can’t stand the thought of people giving up their country and freedoms without doing something. It’s about the only thing that gives me hope some days.
That we’ll not go down whimpering. 🙁
Remember the Dinosaurs. They were around for all those millions of years. Perfectly adapted to the environment. Thriving in wealth and abundance of resources. Ruling all the surface on land water and air. And living in the past was never a problem, as the present was not any different.
Then, when things changed, all they knew was to repeat the same. And were looking to a relatively fast demise.
Yeah, laws are great. When created by moral people for other moral people and keep working in a similar environment. And obeying them is superior to not doing so.
Then as things change, guess where that will lead.
Just to add some more information, illegal immigrants do not stay near the borders. There are no jobs for them there in economically depressed zones. They move on to communities where they can be hired, illegally of course. It’s similar to the Amazon free shipping issue. Decades of buying cheap products produced with cheap labor is costing us more than we realize. It is time to give up convenience and cheap prices for actually putting an American to work. If the building trades and the agricultural industries didn’t need to hire migrants, they wouldn’t keep coming across the border to work. Face it now, we are going to have to spend more on produce and we are going to have to start turning over products, and if it says “made in china” put it back on the shelf and walk away
You are absolutely correct!
One thing that has long baffled me is this nation’s extremely selective concern for national security. Illegal aliens crossing our borders and working those cheap, “unwanted” jobs is likely the largest national security issue of the past 50 years. Once across, there is no viable means to track these folks, and that continues to place us at risk for violent incursions that could happen anywhere in the lower 48 states. Aside from the fruit Stasi of the PRCA*, we have no border checkpoints in this country (thank God!), so interstate movement is unhindered and unchecked.
Protecting our homes from the threat of such incursions is not racist — it is justly and righteously discriminatory. We need to demand such policies at all level of our society.
