Texas Counties Declare ‘Invasion’ as Border Crisis Escalates
Several Texas counties have declared a border “invasion” and are hoping governor Greg Abbott will follow in their path and issue a similar declaration for the state.
“We’re being invaded. The facts are there,” said Kinney County Judge Tully Shahan at a press conference in Brackettville, Texas. “This is real. We want America to know this is real. America doesn’t know what’s happening here.”
The New York Post reports that the counties were contacted by Ken Cuccinelli, a former Trump Department of Homeland Security official, “who has talked them into believing they can use the ‘self-help provision of the Constitution to declare an invasion.”
“This gives the governor, decided similarly, the authority to repeal that invasion,” Cuccinelli said at the press conference Tuesday. County officials from Kinney, Goliad, Terrell and Uvalde Counties criticized the Biden Administration’s “open border policy.”
The Post writes “Cuccinelli claims now that the Kinney County Attorney, a legal authority has declared an invasion, Gov. Greg Abbott can “repeal” immigrants. He envisions a Title 42-style program, where immigrants– even those seeking asylum– are automatically deported if they cross into the Texas border.”
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has resisted calls by the same group, the Center for Renewing America, to declare an “invasion,” in the past, according to the Texas Tribune. The group has been known to reach out to states across the country “looking for any local government that would be4 willing to go along with it, the spokeswoman for the organization told The Post.”
While officials know declaring an invasion does not grant any legal authority, they hope it will at least bring attention to the border crisis. The Post reports of the press conference Tuesday:
The officials each shared stories of how their communities are being inundated by immigrants as humans and drugs are smuggled through their small towns on a daily basis.
The number of reported migrant encounters along the US-Mexico border once again made history in May — hitting a staggering 239,416 encounters, according to the latest available monthly Customs and Border Patrol statistics.

New House Judiciary Report: Biden-Harris Funneled Taxpayer Money to UN to Support Open-Border
A new report released just before the weekend details how the Biden-Harris administration funneled millions in taxpayer dollars to the United Nations to support their open-border initiatives.
The House Judiciary Committee’s GOP members released the 12-page report Friday, titled “Inside the Biden-Harris Administration’s Open-borders Alliance with United Nations Bureaucrats”. The report shows how there have been an estimated 5.8 million illegal aliens released into the U.S. since January 2021, with an additional 1.9 million illegal aliens deemed as “gotaways.”
“The images of mass illegal immigration and chaos at the southwest border became a political liability for President Biden and Vice President Harris. But rather than fix the actual problem of illegal immigration, the Biden-Harris administration engaged in misdirection – teaming up with open-borders bureaucrats at the United Nations to allow aliens to bypass the southwest border altogether,” the report states in its executive summary.
Approximately $67.1 million of U.S. taxpayer dollars was spent by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) to fund the Safe Mobility Offices (SMOs), with the International Organization for Migration (IOM) spending another $14.6 million in taxpayer funds for the initiative, equating to over $80 million in total.
The report goes on to note the State Department announced the Safe Mobility Initiative in June 2023, a plan to allow illegal aliens to “sidestep” the southern border. It was implemented under the direction of the Biden-Harris administration.
TheUNHCR reportedly said the initiative would let migrants “avoid the risks associated with onward movement,” meaning undocumented migrants were swiftly moved from the southern border and into the interior of the U.S. to avoid the “damaging optics at the border.”
The initiative further enables aliens outside of the U.S. to consult with foreign nationals working for the UNHCR, and the International Organization for Migration. These organizations facilitate illegal migrants to resettle in the U.S. through various means, including labor pathways and family reunification.
According to the report, the Safe Mobility Offices are located throughout Guatemala, Costa Rica, Colombia, and Ecuador and are all paid for with taxpayer money. The committee estimates under the Biden-Harris administration, more than 18,000 aliens from Central and South America have resettled in the U.S. through the initiative.
