I'm enjoying the revolt of the truckers. (And in Europe, the revolt of the farmers.)
The Take Back Our Border convoy has traveled across the United States to bring attention to the border crisis and the reality of "open border policies."
Take Back Our Border leader Dr. Pete Chambers and Senate candidate Ben Luna, R-N.M., joined "Fox & Friends First" Friday to sound the alarm about the growing crisis, including the drugs coming across the border.
"The fentanyl is, I call it, a chemical warfare across the border. The drug trade is tremendous," said Chambers, an Army veteran.
Speaking from near Austin, Texas, a woman participating in the convoy said Americans should be alarmed at the number of "single, military-age men" who are entering the country.
"This is an invasion and our country can't sustain this... We wonder, why are you allowing this to happen in our country?" she asked.
Chambers told host Todd Piro that he believes the goal of the ongoing border policies under the Biden administration is "complete destabilization," which he said is overwhelming the system.
The noted Globalist Establishment Shill Homosexual Groomer Ron DeSantis just sent more troops and cops to help defend the border -- from Biden.
Gov. Ron DeSantis will deploy as many as 1,000 Florida National Guard troops, plus members of his Florida State Guard and law enforcement officers, to back up Texas in its standoff with the Biden administration over the U.S.-Mexico border.
The governor, who long has complained about border enforcement, announced the deployment Thursday during a news conference in Jacksonville, flanked by uniformed law officers and military personnel. He didn't say exactly how many people will make the trip.

"It's sad that you don't have a president willing to just put his foot down and say I'm not going to let this happen to my country. But in the absence of that leadership and the face of dereliction of duty we're going to step up and do our job," DeSantis said.
The fresh troops will join 90 officers of the Florida Highway Patrol, Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, and Florida Department of Law Enforcement that DeSantis has already deployed to the border, according to numbers provided by the governor's office.
Meanwhile, the GOP forced the Democrats to take another "walk the plank" vote. The newest proposal -- which should already be a law -- is to make DUI a deportable offense.
150 Democrats voted against it, because protecting illegal alien drunk driving killers is more important than protecting American lives.
Illegal alien drunk driving killers are higher on the "victim pyramid," doncha know. Murdered Americans? Quite a bit lower.
Over one hundred Democrats voted against a bill intending to deport illegal migrants caught driving under the influence (DUI).
The bill, titled Protect Our Communities from DUIs Act, passed the House with a 274-150 vote, with all voting against the legislation being Democrats, according to the roll call vote. Fifty-nine Democrats joined all 215 Republicans to vote in favor of the legislation.
Some of the Democrats who voted in favor of the legislation include Reps. Henry Cuellar and Colin Allred of Texas, Pennsylvania Rep. Brendan Foyle, California Rep. Jimmy Panetta and New York Rep. Patrick Ryan.
The bill makes driving while impaired grounds for barring a non-U.S. national from entry into the U.S. and for deportation, according to the legislation's description. The individual must be convicted of the offense to be subjected to deportation.

Republican North Carolina Rep. Greg Murphy cited an incident where Jose Guadalupe Menjivar-Alas, an illegal migrant from El Salvador, killed a 47-year-old mother and her 16-year-old son while driving under the influence in December. Before the incident, Menjivar-Alas had been deported four separate times after entering the U.S. undetected, according to exclusive reporting by the Daily Caller News Foundation.

"This month, an illegal immigrant who had been drinking and driving killed a family. This individual had been deported 4 times and arrested 3 times on DUI suspicion," Murphy said.
