The Department of Homeland Security believes posts by human smugglers on social media platforms have caused the migrant surge at the border. The smugglers connect with the migrants on Facebook, promising safe passage across the border for thousands of dollars.

The Health and Human Services Department (HHS) asked the Pentagon if officials could house unaccompanied migrant children at two Texas bases:
[Pentagon spokesman John] Kirby told ABC News at his ongoing on-camera news conference that he did not have many details, but that HHS had asked the Pentagon to house unaccompanied minors at Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland, Texas and Fort Bliss in El Paso, Texas.

We all knew why President Joe Biden's administration did not want media around the border or talking to agents. But now he can no longer deny it. Axios published photos of an overcrowded border patrol tent in Donna, TX. Rep. Henry Cueller (D-TX) provided the photos to "raise awareness about the situation" after someone gave them to him over the weekend.

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy told reporters the border patrol agents he met warned him about "suspected terrorists are trying to cross into the United States via Mexico." The left went crazy, calling McCarthy a liar or laughing at him. Rep. Reuben Gallego (D-AZ) tweeted that as the chairman of the subcommittee on Intelligence and Special Operations he never heard of this news.

While the current administration in Washington, D.C. uses National Guard troops as part of ongoing political theater, Texas Governor Greg Abbott is deploying his state troops to address a real security crisis. This weekend, Abbott and the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) launched Operation Lone Star to combat smuggling people and drugs into Texas.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott announced he ended the state's mask mandate with an executive order and opened businesses to 100% capacity. Leftists began their freakout even though private businesses can keep their mask requirements. I'm sure local governments will hold their own as well.
