The land, located about 35 miles west of McAllen near the border with Mexico, would offer Trump greater ease in swiftly propelling forward his mass deportation agenda, which is scheduled to commence on Jan. 20, 2025.
"My office is fully prepared to enter into an agreement with the Department of Homeland Security, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or the United States Border Patrol to allow a facility to be built," Buckingham wrote in a letter to Trump.
"I am committed to using every available means at my disposal to gain complete operational security at the border."
(Related: Trump recently confirmed that a national emergency, aka martial law, will need to be invoked in January to start rounding up and deporting illegal aliens.)
Staying true to the campaign promises he made both now and the first time around, Trump has made immigration and border security one of his top America First priorities.
In addition to eventually completing the border wall he talked about, Trump has also pledged to reinstate the Remain in Mexico program, end birthright citizenship for children of illegal aliens (anchor babies), and deploy the military to help round up and deport the illegals. And to make all that happen, Trump further plans to declare a national emergency.
Texas is a "red" state, so the government there is on board with what Trump is planning to do. The same cannot be said of many of the nation's Democrat governors, including Gov. Pritzker in Illinois, Gov. Newsom in California, Gov. Healey of Massachusetts, and Gov. Hobbs of Arizona.
These activist governors have all indicated that they will not allow their state's law enforcement agencies to participate in any federal immigration enforcement. Local efforts in Boston, Los Angeles and elsewhere also aim to impair Trump's efforts to deport illegal aliens.
"The Texas General Land Office is stepping up to support the president-elect's efforts to restore order at the border," Buckingham further wrote about how Texas, or at least Starr County, is taking a much different approach than the Democrats. "Please let me know if I can answer any questions you may have."
Many of Trump's Republican allies are thrilled about his mass deportation plans. It turns out that illegal immigration is one of the main dividing issues in America today as leftists love it and conservatives hate it, generally speaking. One would think that all Americans would want a safe and secure country, but apparently that is no longer the case.
Buckingham, by the way, helped to secure Texas ownership of several islands in the Rio Grande River, which borders Mexico, through a surveying project her office spearheaded. Because of those efforts, all human trafficking and drug smuggling operations have ceased on those islands.
"The largest of these islands is 170 acres, and before declaring it part of Texas, it had been used as a 'no-man's land' to evade both American and Mexican law enforcement," Buckingham's letter to Trump explains. "The island, known as 'Fronton Island,' had been deemed by the Texas Military Department (TMD) and Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) as the most dangerous part of the Texas border."
"I am committed to using every available means at my disposal to gain complete operational security of our border."
