Ironhold Posted November 19, 2022 Report Posted November 19, 2022 https://www.texastribune.org/2022/11/18/texas-border-military-armored-vehicles-operation-lone-star/ Story: Governor Greg Abbot of Texas has sent 10+ M113 armored transports to the Texas / Mexico border, likely for anti-cartel purposes as the armor and .50 machine guns they have are far more than what the average cartel soldier will have. Story becoming a story: Many media outlets and pundits are referring to these vehicles as "tanks" or "tank-like vehicles", generating outrage and confusion among people who don't know the difference between a main battle tank and an armored transport. So yeah, instead of talking about the news story, people are talking about the botched handling of the news story. NeuroTypical, Backroads and mirkwood 3 Quote
Still_Small_Voice Posted November 20, 2022 Report Posted November 20, 2022 We can send about $40,000,000,000 to Ukraine to help them secure their country and border but the Biden administration is just ignoring the mass influx of illegal aliens and drugs pouring into our country. It is disgusting in my opinion. I read an average of 280 Americans per day are dying from fentanyl drugs that is pouring over the southern border. scottyg and mirkwood 2 Quote
NeuroTypical Posted November 20, 2022 Report Posted November 20, 2022 Always go to the source whenever possible. Here is the source: https://gov.texas.gov/uploads/files/press/BidenJoseph_11.16.22.pdf And here is Texas' press release about the source: https://gov.texas.gov/news/post/governor-abbott-to-president-biden-texas-is-escalating-border-security-efforts Go read both links through, all the way, before you read any news articles or discussion about them.

I’m not saying that doesn’t happen, but the overwhelming majority of illegal drugs comes from other entries and is smuggled by US citizens. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2019/01/16/fact-check-mike-pence-donald-trump-drugs-crossing-southern-border-wall/2591279002/ https://www.cato.org/blog/fentanyl-smuggled-us-citizens-us-citizens-not-asylum-seekers Edited November 20, 2022 by LDSGator Quote
