Yes we should use whatever level of force is needed to stop these border incursions. As long as Comrade Biden is in charge, however, if Governor Abbot authorized it, the Biden regime would probably prosecute everyone involved in the federal courts. We need Trump back to do what the leaders of Latvia, Hungary, and Greece has the courage and responsibility to do.

What should not be overlooked however is the use of non-lethal force. Why was tear gas not deployed in a robust fashion against this border breach, for example? Being Texas, cattle prods would be easy to get ahold of and would have worked wonders to halt the breach. There are some great videos of Polish border guards using water cannon to blast illegal aliens back to the other side of the border. Why doesn't texas buy some of them? In the meantime, they could deploy fire trucks to have some of the same effect.

Appointing a special counsel to investigate and prosecute misuse of the courts for election interference would do a lot to get democracy back on a solid footing in our country. Biden is operating the same way that Putin or Stalin operate or operated, and even like Hitler.

This doesn't say much for the N.C. delegation. If the vote were closer on getting the bill passed, I wouldn't expect Murphy to come through in that scenario. Anyway, that's my opinion.

Actually surprised to see Murphy voted against it. Is he running for re-election or something?

It looks like Bobbie is following the Stalinist mantra that if you tell a lie enough times it becomes the truth. The badly flawed border bill he refers to was drafted by a Democrat dominated "bi-partisan" committee, with the GOP representation on it a Chamber of Commerce sellout named Lankford, who openly says he sees no difference between legal immigrants and illegal alien migrants. The bill did nothing of any significant to cut the migrant flow and quite a bit that would have encouraged it to become larger. It was pouring gasoline, not water, on the fire of illegal immigration.

Real Republicans reject the notion of doing "something" even if it is wrong, as the Lankford endorsed bill clearly was.

Stan, that is just the usual mindless deflection from Little Bobbie. Presumably, he is well aware that NONE of the 2020 election controversies happened in Beaufort County, or even on the presidential level in North Carolina. They happened in major urban counties of Pennsylvania, Georgia, Arizona, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Nevada. Even in those places, the problems were concentrated in particular counties. and in many of them Republican election observers were kicked out of the vote count, a huge red flag that something is amiss.

Republicans who rejected republican drafted legislation on the issue....so there is that.
I guess it makes such a good campaign issue, no sense in doing anything.

Completely not true. Slandering your friends and neighbors who run BC elections is pathetic.

It is easy enough to figure out the insurrection of summer 2020. It was stirred up by two Marxist extremist organizations, BLM and ANTIFA, who were looking for any excuse to foment violence and insurrection. Both Marxist groups want to destroy America,

What is particularly encouraging in this poll is that voters on the left are also swinging behind an anti-immigration party and rejecting the globalist parties of the establishment.

A governing party spending taxpayer money to target voter registration of voter blocks aligned with the governing party is political corruption and abuse of office. People should indeed go to jail for that.

When a voter outreach program is nonpartisan, and not targeted at specific voter blocks, such as allowed registration at a Motor Vehicles office, this is nonpartisan, and a good government approach. When the target is a particular voter block, like college students, which have a heavy partisan skew, it is a different matter entirely.
