Texas is stepping up to the plate to help President-elect Donald Trump with his bold plans for mass deportation of illegal immigrants, and it seems they are not just talking a big game. The Lone Star State has generously offered a massive 1,402-acre plot of land in Starr County, right at the southern tip of Texas, to serve as a staging area for what might very well be the largest deportation operation this country has ever seen. That should put a smile on any conservative’s face.
The offer, brought forth by Texas Land Commissioner Dawn Buckingham, showcases the state’s commitment to tackling the illegal immigration crisis head-on. This is not just about rhetoric; it’s about action. The state has already purchased the land from a ranch owner, proving that Texas isn’t just throwing some half-hearted promises out there but is actually prepared to back its words with serious resources. After all, when it comes to border security, talk is cheap, but land is priceless.

In a message to Trump, Buckingham conveyed that her office is more than ready to work alongside federal agencies like the Department of Homeland Security and Immigration and Customs Enforcement. The proposal isn’t just a vague idea; it includes plans for constructing facilities dedicated to processing, detaining, and deporting illegal immigrants — specifically those with violent criminal records. Buckhannon clearly laid out what’s at stake: this isn’t just about keeping things orderly, but about ridding the nation of individuals who pose a genuine threat to safety.
Buckingham enthusiastically supports Trump’s commitment to deporting violent criminals and emphasized that Texas is all in when it comes to facilitating these operations. The willingness of Texas to offer its resources indicates that the state views this endeavor as essential, not just politically motivated. It’s more than just boots on the ground; it’s about ensuring that communities are safe and secure.
With a state like Texas backing him, Trump appears to be surrounded by allies more than ready to help him take decisive action. The political landscape is rife with challenges, but with significant support from states willing to step up, the dream of controlled borders and a lawful immigration system seems more achievable than ever. This sets the stage for what could turn out to be a major chapter in the fight against illegal immigration, possibly leading to a safer and more secure America.
