**Crisis on the Border: Texas Takes Action to Secure State and Nation Amid Federal Abandonment**
In a bold move signaling a commitment to state sovereignty and border security, Texas has acquired two critical properties along the Texas-Mexico border. This decisive action comes as apprehensions of illegal crossings continue to plague the region, largely attributed to the Biden-Harris administration's ineffective border policies.
The Texas General Land Office (GLO) recently announced the purchase of a 1,402-acre ranch in Starr County, adjacent to the Rio Grande River. This strategically vital property will facilitate the ongoing construction of a border wall, complementing the state’s existing border security efforts—efforts that have seen over 30 miles of steel bollard wall erected since June 2023.
Governor Greg Abbott's Operation Lone Star has proven effective in boosting security in Texas, as illegal crossings and cartel activities have decreased significantly. In stark contrast, the Biden administration's open-border stance has led to record-high illegal immigration rates, causing chaos and insecurity in border communities.
The acquisition of the Starr County ranch is part of a larger effort to enhance security at one of the sectors that has reported the highest number of illegal crossings. This community has faced unprecedented challenges, including increased crime, damage to property, and significant strain on local resources. Even Democrats in the region are growing disillusioned with their party's failure to manage the border crisis—some have made the switch to the Republican Party in light of their frustrations.
Furthermore, the GLO's purchase of the Brewster Ranch—a sprawling 350,000-acre property—underscores Texas's commitment to both security and conservation. This ranch borders key wildlife areas and will be managed not only for border security purposes but also for sustainable agriculture, hunting, and conservation practices.
One former Border Patrol agent, Terrell County Sheriff Thad Cleveland, has noted that if the Biden administration were genuinely concerned about environmental issues at the border, they would focus on the crisis caused by illegal crossings—which contribute far more harm to the environment than Texas's efforts to secure the border.
As the stakes grow higher, and with the current administration largely turning a blind eye to the rampant border crisis, Texas's proactive measures serve as a testament to the effectiveness of state-led initiatives.
While Washington grapples with its own challenges, Texas appears to be leading the way in addressing its border security crisis, showcasing a commitment to the safety and well-being of its citizens.
As we approach the 2024 elections, the question remains: will Americans choose empowered states to take control of their safety or continue on a path paved with federal recklessness? The answer could very well define the future of American statecraft and security.
