STAND WITH TEXAS!

REMEMBER THE ALAMO...AND STAND WITH TEXAS!

TEXAS BLUEBONNETS, LUPINIS TEXENSIS

Saturday, 7:30 AM.  49 degrees F at the ferry dock, much colder on the back porch up here on the bluff.  The wind is from the north, very light.  The sky is overcast and foggy, the humidity is 98% and the barometer is steady, at 29.93".
   The crisis on the southern border of the United States continues, now with tens of thousands of children, many very young and unaccompanied by an adult, flooding across, almost fifty-thousand since the beginning of the year.  The response of the Obama Administration has been to put them on buses and send them to Phoenix and other large cities where they eventually simply disappear.  The President himself has encouraged, if not actually caused, this crisis by his policies and statements. I cannot fathom why this crisis has been allowed to occur, and neither can Texans, where most of the children are crossing the border.
   Some have characterized this only as a humanitarian crisis, for which we are somehow responsible.  I would ask of  these perhaps well-meaning but delusional folks, "How many of these children will you take and adopt?"  I say delusional because this "crisis" is no more than a criminal enterprise; smugglers, "coyotes," being paid thousands of dollars to get these Central and South American children across the Mexican desert and into the United States where of course they will be cared for and given asylum and ultimately citizenship, and their parents and relatives hope to follow.
  I say criminal also because many of these abandoned, bewildered youngsters will end up in slavery, probably already bought and paid for, as prostitutes, drug dealers, gang members and domestic servants. And they will hate America for what it allowed to happen to them.
   What kind of naivety can deny that this is the ultimate fate of many, if not most, of these children who have been abandoned by their parents?  Parents that have the money to send their children on this criminal mission are no more than criminals themselves, and should be prosecuted by the governments of the countries where they live.  And, who cannot believe that many of the coyotes are being paid in advance by persons here in this country, who desire to enslave and abuse these helpless youngsters?
   The president and his administration are aiding and abetting child abandonment, illegal immigration, slavery, prostitution, and as we will undoubtedly find out, the injury to and murder of these children.  They should all be prosecuted, convicted, and imprisoned for aiding and abetting these felonies.
   What should the United States do?  I say, seal the border, take care of the children and return them to their country and their misguided parents.  And kill the coyotes.
   A country that cannot or will not enforce its borders is not a nation, but a mere geographical territory open for the taking by whomever can overwhelm it by stealth or force.  We need to look no further than   Ukraine, Iraq and many other so-called nations.  President Obama may wish this to happen, but Texas will not allow it.  Texas will enforce its borders to protect its citizens and its territory from drug dealers, slave traffickers, thugs and smugglers using innocent children as their cover and victims.
   Be prepared to watch the coming battle with the fools and worse in Washington, D.C,....REMEMBER THE ALAMO, and STAND WITH TEXAS!
