Sunday's podcast:
The 2023 Texas Rangers with Dave Michaels, local sports journalist....
"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free." - President Ronald Reagan
Our leaders keep telling them to stay home or download the app. The illegals prefer to come the old-fashioned way, i.e. ride the train or just walk north. This is the story about the new caravan:
About 5,000 migrants from Central America, Venezuela, Cuba and Haiti set out on foot from Mexico's southern border Monday, walking north toward the U.S.
The migrants complained that processing for refugee or exit visas takes too long at Mexico’s main migrant processing center in the city of Tapachula, near the Guatemalan border. Under Mexico's overwhelmed migration system, people seeking such visas often wait for weeks or months, without being able to work.
The migrants formed a long line Monday along the highway, escorted at times by police. The police are usually there to prevent them from blocking the entire highway, and sometimes keep them from hitching rides.
Monday's march was among the largest since June 2022. Migrant caravans in 2018 and 2019 drew far greater attention. But with as many as 10,000 migrants showing up at the U.S. border in recent weeks, Monday's march is now just a drop in the bucket.
So that's the way it is as Walter Cronkite used to say. Our leaders tell them to stay home but they are not listening.
What's the Biden administration doing next? The illegals are not listening to the White House's message and staying home. Mexico won't stop them. Maybe they don't care or can't.
Of course, the Biden administration had better care and should leave a message on Lopez-Obrador voice mail asking a simple question: "Que pasa amigo"? How can Mexico stand by and let 5,000 non-Mexicans walk into their country? It makes no sense, unless the Mexican government is in on the racket or afraid to challenge the criminal elements behind all of this.

The Texas Rangers are playing well in the post season. Maybe they will finally bring the big trophy to our fans. The other big story around here is that a judge has halted another Biden program. This is the story:
A federal judge on Monday ordered immigration agents to stop taking down or cutting through concertina wire placed on the Texas-Mexico border in Eagle Pass by state troopers and National Guard members in their efforts to deter migrants from crossing the border illegally.
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton sued the Biden administration last Tuesday, claiming that the Border Patrol illegally destroyed state property when its agents cut through concertina wire on the banks of the Rio Grande to “assist” migrants to “illegally cross” the border.
District Judge Alia Moses, a George W. Bush appointee, said she would grant Paxton’s request.
“The Court shall grant the temporary relief requested, with one important exception for any medical emergency that mostly likely results in serious bodily injury or death to a person, absent any boats or other life-saving apparatus available to avoid such medical emergencies prior to reaching the concertina wire barrier,” Moses wrote in her order.
So click another victory for AG Paxton and Governor Greg Abbott. We don't know if this is a short-term or long-term victory for Texas. Time will tell.
What is clear that a federal judge is listening to Texas' argument that the federal government is encouraging chaotic immigration. You don't need to be a judge to see the chaos -- just visit El Paso, Eagle Pass, or Laredo. You will see the consequences on the streets. Or talk to the Democrat mayors on the border and they will tell you what they think of the chaos.
