Cypress (United States) (AFP) - Texas, an independent country 200 years ago, now boasts a pocket of people who want that status back, advocating a separation they call Texit. Its advocates say the dramatic move -- loosely inspired by Britain's Brexit from the European Union -- would help resolve a roiling immigration border crisis and a fight with Washington over who controls the border with Mexico. That fight, pitting President Joe Biden, a Democrat, and Republican Governor Greg Abbott, has laid bare a rupture in America. "We know here in Texas, the only way that Texas will ever be able to se...

Houston (AFP) - Texas plans to construct a military base along the border with Mexico, the state's Republican governor announced Friday, as his election-year tug-of-war with the White House over migration continues to broil. A wave of illegal border crossings in recent months has made migration a key talking point in the US presidential election campaign once again, with Republicans seeking to pin blame for the record-high numbers entirely on Democratic President Joe Biden. Governor Greg Abbott made the announcement of the new base in the flashpoint border town of Eagle Pass, where he has amas...

Eagle Pass (United States) (AFP) - Texas Governor Greg Abbott said Sunday he is expanding his troops' control of the southern US border to protect it from a migrant "invasion," as President Joe Biden's administration accuses him of overstepping his authority. Abbott, flanked by 13 fellow Republican state governors, arrived at Shelby Park, in the Texan city of Eagle Pass, which has an access ramp to the Rio Grande river that forms the natural boundary between the United States and Mexico. "We are here to send a loud and clear message, that we are banding together to fight to ensure that we will...

Edinburg (United States) (AFP) - Donald Trump took his presidential campaign down to the border with Mexico on Sunday, doubling down on the hardline immigration rhetoric that was a hallmark of his first White House term. The Republican leader asserted that border security had evaporated under President Joe Biden, with "gangs of thugs" pouring into the US. "We're going to take over that border and we're going to make it the most secure border in our history," Trump said. He was speaking to a supportive group of border guards and Texas Governor Greg Abbott, a like-minded Republican who has endo...

Edinburg (United States) (AFP) - Donald Trump takes his presidential campaign down to the border with Mexico on Sunday, as he seeks to double down on the hardline immigration policies that were a hallmark of his first White House term. In recent weeks, the former president has ramped up his campaign rhetoric to extreme levels, warning that undocumented migrants are "poisoning the blood of our country" and denouncing his political opponents as "vermin." Trump plans to visit the Texas-Mexico border Sunday with Governor Greg Abbott, a like-minded advocate of tough immigration measures. The Texa...

Ciudad Juárez (Mexico) (AFP) - Migrants were stranded in northern Mexico's harsh desert after the freight train they were riding on halted for 24 hours, though they were trundling toward the border again on Saturday. Around 1,800 people, mostly Venezuelans and Central Americans, became stuck overnight in the northern state of Chihuahua when the freight train they had hitched a ride on stopped without explanation in the Ahumada municipality Friday. "All night, the cold didn't let up, and during the day, (there was no relief) from the sun," Venezuelan Jose Martin told AFP. These migrants are a...

Eagle Pass (United States) (AFP) - The sun had barely risen above Eagle Pass, Texas, when the migrants wading across the Rio Grande from Mexico had a crisis on their hands. They had tied their belts together to create a makeshift rope to hold onto but it broke, and the river was sweeping away a mother and her one-year-old baby. Such harrowing scenes are a daily occurrence on the southern US border, where thousands are crossing each day in search of their own American dream despite the dangers to themselves, efforts by Texas authorities to keep them out and gridlock on the national level about ...

Eagle Pass (United States) (AFP) - After weeks of travel on dangerous roads and rugged trails, hundreds of Venezuelan migrants experienced a bittersweet moment Saturday when they reached Eagle Pass, Texas, on the US border with Mexico, only to encounter a thicket of barbed wire and armed soldiers. "Are we safe?" asked Karlen Ramirez, who was in tears after crossing the Rio Grande, the natural border separating the two countries, and struggling through the barbed wire barriers. Eagle Pass, a town of almost 30,000, has for decades been one of the border points most heavily used by arriving mig...

Eagle Pass (United States) (AFP) - Dozens of migrants arrived at the US-Mexico border Friday hoping to be allowed into the United States, with US border forces reporting 1.8 million encounters with migrants in the last 12 months. In Eagle Pass, Texas, migrants from countries including Honduras and Venezuela crossed the Rio Grande River that separates the United States and Mexico to encounter an almost impassable wall of barbed wire preventing them from entering US territory. "I'm happy because I'm one step away... but I'm sad because we can't get through," said Noe Zelaya, a Honduran who had t...

Eagle Pass (United States) (AFP) - With their two children on their shoulders, Wilfredo Riera and Nataly Barrionuevo wade into the Rio Grande from the Mexican shore, the water soon reaching their waists. Avoiding the string of large orange buoys placed by Texas authorities to block their passage, they slog on towards the United States. From their starting point at Piedras Negras in Mexico's Coahuila state, they cross to Eagle Pass in south Texas, where that state's governor, Greg Abbott, has deployed the military in an effort to stem the migrant flow. It is 2:00 pm (1200 GMT) on a Friday, wit...
