The state of Texas is considering shipping illegal aliens directly to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to speed up the process of deporting them once President-elect Donald J. Trump takes office.
The state could again ramp up its busing of the new arrivals but this time to ICE holding centers instead of the deep blue sanctuary cities, a part of Operation Lone Star, according to the New York Post,
“We are always gonna be involved in border security so long as we’re a border state,” a government source told the outlet.
“We spent a lot of taxpayer money to have the level of deterrent that we have on the border and we can’t just walk away,” the source added.
Texas Gov. Gregg Abbott has not yet approved the proposal.
It was the Lone Star State that came up with the innovative and smashingly successful idea to relocate illegal aliens to sanctuary cities where they would be welcomed with open arms by Democrats.
And they were, at least at first, until they began accumulating in sufficient numbers to overwhelm shelters and drain essential services intended for citizens. They soon became a huge political problem for New York City and Chicago where local leaders soured on the influx of thousands of foreign freeloaders.
If implemented, the new proposal would reroute the buses to ICE detention centers to assist the Trump administration in getting the illegals back to where they belong.
Incoming “border czar” Tom Homan is “interested in working with Texas to make it happen,” the Post reported.
Homan told the outlet that Gov. Abbott didn’t bring it up during his visit to the border this week but told the outlet “I look forward to discussing that with them.”
“We’re going to help them finish this job and secure Texas and we’re going to work in partnership. And [Abbott] doesn’t have to worry about this administration suing him … to secure the Texas border,” Homan said.
Since it began migrant relocation efforts in 2022 to bring attention to the crisis at the southern border, Texas has bused almost 120,000 illegal aliens to sanctuary cities with more than 45,000 indigent foreigners transported to New York City alone.
The buses stopped rolling this summer after border crossings dropped dramatically when Texas began to be more aggressive in controlling the border, taking matters into its own hands.
Texas has offered the Trump administration a 1,400-acre parcel of newly acquired General Land Office (GLO) land in Starr County to use for detention facilities for the mass deportation set to begin once he takes office.
“As Texas Land Commissioner and steward of over 13 million acres, it’s been my promise to all Texans since assuming my role at the GLO to use every tool at my disposal to gain complete operational control of our southern border,” Texas Land Commissioner Dawn Buckingham said in a statement.
“This is why I am offering President-elect Trump over 1,400 acres of state land on the southern border to aid his administration in carrying out their deportation plans to place the safety and well-being of all Americans first and foremost,” Buckingham added.
Texas State Rep. Brian Harrison said that when Americans voted for Trump, they “soundly repudiated Biden’s radical open borders policies” that “made less Americans safe.”
