Taking Control of the Texas Border: Operation Clean Sweep
“No State shall, without the Consent of Congress, lay any Duty of Tonnage, keep Troops, or Ships of War in time of Peace, enter into any Agreement or Compact with another State, or with a foreign Power, or engage in War, unless actually invaded, or in such imminent Danger as will not admit of delay.” – Article I, Section 10, U.S. Constitution
A message from President Don Huffines:
The federal government has abandoned its duty under the Constitution to protect Texas from invasion. Illegal aliens are pouring across the Texas Border and invading our state. We are overrun with murderers, rapists, human traffickers, and drugs. The rule of law has been completely subverted.
Texas must take the lead in stopping the invasion of our border. Using authority given to states under the U.S. Constitution, Texas must implement Operation Clean Sweep to repel the invasion of its border. By deploying the Texas National Guard, law enforcement, and financial assets, Texas can secure its border and the safety of its citizens.
There is nothing magical about reducing the flow of illegal aliens into Texas and other border states. The Trump Administration demonstrated how determined efforts by the U.S. and economic pressure on Mexico could slow the flow of illegals. An all-hands-on-deck effort like Operation Clean Sweep, supported by the people of Texas, will stop illegal immigration. All it requires is a concerted effort to protect the lives, liberty, and property of Texas citizens.
The key to a secure Texas Border is a courageous governor willing to put severe economic pressure on Mexico to force them to secure their side of the border.
