Texas Governor Greg Abbott has written a letter to Dallas County Sheriff Lupe Valdez after she decided to scale back honored immigration detainers to a “case-by-case” basis. Governor Abbot said in his letter:
“’Sanctuary City’ policies like those promoted by your recent decision to implement your own case-by-case immigrant detention plan will no longer be tolerated in Texas,” Abbott began in his letter attached below. “Your decision to not fully honor U.S. Immigration & Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) requests to detain criminal immigrants poses a serious danger to Texans. These detainers provide ICE with the critical notice and time it needs to take incarcerated immigrants into federal custody.”
“Your refusal to fully participate in a federal law enforcement program intended to keep dangerous criminals off the streets leaves the State no choice but to take whatever actions are necessary to protect our fellow Texans,” Abbott continued. “Now more than ever, it is essential that state, federal, and local law enforcement work collaboratively to protect our fellow Texans and to ensure that our laws are upheld, not disregarded.”

Governor Abbott has developed a track record for standing up for the enforcement of Constitutional laws and protecting his constituency. The slew of illegal immigrants into the United States has gone unabated for decades and it is well past the time that someone stood up for the laws that command the safety of US citizens.
One has to question whether Dallas County Sheriff Lupe Valdez’s ethnicity was a factor for her decision to ease off her enforcement of immigration policy. In any case, it doesn’t look like the waves of illegal immigrants will start turning back anytime soon. So stay safe and be alert, especially if you live in the border states. Your police may be getting lax on the job.

Good man !!
I’m calling for a boycott on Kelly Services. My daughter worked for Kelly Services on the Apple contract they had. When Kelly Services lost that contract they fired over 1000 people. My daughter was one of those people in that meeting Kelly Services fired. They then LIED saying she quit. But during the appeal hearing Kelly Services agreed to the Texas Workforce Commission judge that my daughter DID NOT quit and I believe because she was a supervisor they don’t want to pay her. She is the only one they have denied. Now Texas Workforce Commission has denied her THREE times now. Shame on you Texas workforce commission! Can anybody help?
Awesome
Mexico is already paying for to finish the existing wall, by the $2,000,000,000 in the construction by companies IN MEXICO that now will not be built and more to come.
There is no free pass for families and no such thing as a sanctuary city or school, this is a con on the undocumented. If you listen and understand the words used by all politicians involved they only said it’s not their primary interest but still deals with immigration and ICE. Working undocumented can and need to apply for a green card and become documented. To be undocumented is a con the lazy dumb as dirt stupid are playing on America being that so many come legally every day. Money that will be denied to these cities that were for this issue of undocumented capture will now be diverted to hire more border patrol, Immigration agents and ICE agents so more change is coming than the 500,000 deported in 2016. There will be more deported.
