Question: Border crisis looming, what should be done?

https://www.cnn.com/2024/02/01/us/shelby-park-texas-border-history-cec/index.html

Shelby Park in Eagle Pass, Texas, has become a staging ground for state forces, the epicenter of a standoff with the federal government and a stark symbol of dysfunction at the border.

But there’s another story about this park that’s far less well known than the recent legal battle over immigration enforcement in this border city.

The 47-acre park along the Rio Grande was named after a Confederate military leader who fled to Mexico in 1865 rather than surrendering to Union troops.

A Federal Emergency Management Agency case study describing the park notes that it was named for General Joseph Orville Shelby, known to some as the “undefeated rebel.”

This is not a coincidence.

Should we change the name to Pancho Villa park so it’s more welcoming? 😂

Also, how is it not a coincidence? This a spot where many illegals come through. They didn’t plan the name of the park knowing that would happen and I’m pretty sure Texas didn’t say let’s go where the park is named after a second rate confederate general and try to stop border crossers. That will show them. This is some tin foil hat stuff.

So out of all the places where border crossings happen, this is the one where Abbott decides to take a stand and to talk about secession and rebellion...

and that's just pure coincidence...

yeah....

right....

Texans complain about illegal border crossings by people who don’t want to obey our laws. Isn’t that how Texas was formed to begin with?

Did you consider that it’s a major access point for illegal crossings that is on state government controlled land so they had access and legal control of the land?

This is fake moon landing level conspiracy stuff.

Has Alex Jones been made aware of this? I'm sure he has some thoughts....

Specious argument.

The US was largely built on the back of slavery, how dare we stand against it now.

Wasnt there a John Wayne movie loosely based on this story?

Keep trying.

Might as well claim that confederate monuments, rebel flags, and police beatings of black people at the time of civil rights campaigns were just coincidence. Fake moon landing conspiracy level.

Sure.

Biden’s strategy is very simple:

1. Get as many illegals in the country as possible.

2. Legalize them to create a permanent majority – a one-party state.

That is why they are encouraging so much illegal immigration. Simple, yet effective.

So obvious ….

Sure.

You are conflating two separate issues and wrapping it all in tin foil. The only one trying too hard here is you. Trying to tie the name of a park to the immigration issue happening at the Southern border because it’s named after a random confederate general no one outside of civil war reenactors have ever heard of. It’s a wild ride on that train of thought.

ftr, this is nothing but another version of the great replacement theory being pushed by tucker and the rest of the alt-right tribe.

Projection and confession.

They've (Rs) been saying the same thing for 30 years or more.

Of course Musk only got here in 1995, but he's white and rich so I guess he's good.

But talk about conspiracy BS.

Projection and confession.

Whether you believe Abbott chose this specific plot of city-owned land for the symbolism related to what he is currently doing or not the history is interesting.

Same thing applies. The city let the state come in. It’s their land and they can let anyone use it in any manner they approve.

Yep, the supremacy clause says a state or city can tell the feds what to do in a place they have constitutional authority to operate. sure.

Texas border convoy slammed by Eagle Pass community leade...

The 'Take Our Border Back' convoy, dubbed 'God's Army' by some, is holding a rally near Eagle Pass in Texas on Saturday.

www.newsweek.com

Anumber of community leaders from Eagle Pass, Texas, held a press conference on Friday to express their opposition to the 'Take Our Border Back' convoy, which is due to hold a rally near the town on Saturday.


Hitting out at Abbott, who instructed the state's national guard to place razor wire along the Texas-Mexico border, Fuentes added: "As a longtime resident... I've never been so appalled at a leader as our governor and what he's doing and how he's using our particular community for political theater."

Fuentes also criticized Texan authorities for taking over the nearby Shelby Park from which they then blocked access to federal agents, sparking controversy.

Fuentes said: "They've taken over a publicly funded park, our park, our history, our culture, that is where we convene, that is our green space, that is where we are connected to the river, and we don't have access to it. And if you take a walk and look down there, you can see that it's becoming a military base."

We could solve this issue if the politicians would just address the issue truthfully without political posturing.
I must be new here.
I'll let myself out.
