If the federal government won’t complete the building of the southern border wall on land seized for that purpose, we want it back so we can do the job ourselves.
Article by Art Moore from WND.
That essentially is the message Texas Republican Gov. Greg Abbott delivered to President Joe Biden in a letter Wednesday, Breitbart News reported.
“I write now to demand that you immediately return to Texans any land taken by the federal government but not used for building a border wall,” Abbott wrote.
The governor noted to Biden that before he took office, the federal government used condemnation powers to take property from Texans for the purpose of building a wall.
“Once you took office, however, your Administration made clear the federal government will not move forward with building the border wall at this time,” Abbott wrote.
At a press conference in Austin Wednesday, Abbott said the building of the wall in Texas had “officially begun” and was going on “as we speak.”
“There are state agencies talking to landowners on the border about putting up fencing on their private land to be able to prevent the dramatic influx that these landowners have been suffering from over the past few months,” Abbott said.
He said the temporary fencing will later be replaced by taller, stronger barriers. Some 450 miles of border wall — slatted steel planks 18 to 30 feet high — was installed under the Trump administration. Texas and Mexico share 1,254 miles of border.
Abbott said his administration will begin by looking at using state property and donated private property.
“We will also visit with Texans whose land was taken by the federal government to determine if they will allow the state of Texas to build a wall on their land,” he said.
In an interview last week with Breitbart Texas, Abbott said the “influx across the border is out of control, and the Biden administration has shown that is not going to step up and do its job.”
More than 180,000 people tried to cross the border illegally or were denied entry at land ports of entry in May, the highest total in 21 years.
Abbott told reporters Wednesday he will seek donations to help pay for the wall.
In his letter to Biden, he said the current immigration policies are making Texas “ground zero” for “a dramatic influx of unlawful immigrants, but all of America will suffer from the flood of dangerous drugs, human traffickers, and convicted criminals that may cause harm in other states after entering through Texas.”
“By immediately returning any Texas property that can be used to build a border wall, you will enable the State of Texas to work toward a more secure border that keeps not just Texans, but all Americans, safer,” he concluded.

Texas will finish what President Trump started.
Later this week, I will unveil our plans to build a border wall.

New Conservative Network Seeks Crowdfunding Help
They say we have to go big or go home. We’re trying to go big and bring the patriotic truth the the nation, but we need help.
Readers may or may not realize that over the past year, we’ve been bringing more conservative news and opinion outlets under our wing. Don’t take our expansion as a sign of riches; all of the “acquisitions” have been through sweat and promises of greater things to come for all involved. As a result, we’ve been able to bring together several independent media sites under a unified vision of preventing America from succumbing to the progressive, “woke,” Neo-Marxist ideologies that are spreading like wildfire across America.
The slow and steady reopening of America is revealing there was a lot more economic hardship brought about from the Covd-19 lockdowns than most realize. While we continue to hope advertising dollars on the sites go up, it’s simply not enough to do things the right way. We are currently experiencing a gap between revenue and expenses that cannot be overcome by click-ads and MyPillow promos alone (promo code “NOQ” by the way).
To overcome our revenue gap and keep these sites running, our needs fluctuate between $3000-$7000 per month. In other words, we’re in the red and hemorrhaging.
The best way you can help us grow and continue to bring the truth to the people is by donating. We appreciate everything, whether a dollar or $10,000. Anything brings us closer to a point of stability when we can hire writers, editors, and support staff to make the America First message louder. Our Giving Fuel page makes it easy to donate one-time or monthly. Alternatively, you can donate through PayPal as well.
As the world spirals towards radical progressivism, the need for truthful journalism has never been greater. But in these times, we need as many conservative media voices as possible. Please help keep NOQ Report and the other sites in the network going.
Thank you and God Bless,
JD Rucker
