Texas Governor announces they will build their own wall kudos

[HJCane]

Smart very, very smart. My guess they build it then add those damages (costs) to their lawsuit against the Biden Administration / Federal Gov't to get their money back.

Why does it take Republicans with balls to get the right thing done?

Yep. Been saying this for years. Republicans won’t win until they show some spine and play by the Libs rules.

If Texans want to pay for that so be it.

Worthless and wasteful move as the vast majority enter through ports of entry. They just walk over for their day job and never return.

I'm sure a creating a new state income tax to pay for a wall that doesn't keep illegals out would go over well - especially for a Republican Governor alleging to be a conservative.

They will use the pandemic bailout money for it, like blue states do for their green programs

There will be no State Income tax in Texas. They will sue for damages against the US Federal Gov't and probably win.

What a great idea! They got all that new cheap labor from Central America hanging around. Give them a job. Pay them, take their taxes out and teach them the American way! Build the wall.

This BORDER DISASTER costs these states so much money especially Texas. I bet the cost benefit analysis shows building the wall will save them billions. Long run.

Then send them home.

No, I need new landscapers.

No, because they dont believe anything but others should pay taxes but not them. They don't understand things cost money when it comes to them only. But they do....and when it is tie to put your money into it this will go down in flames. Also, they see no value in people unlike them. They believe they are all criminals here to take their jobs, women, and privileges' rather than compete like everyone else has to.

CD, these people want sanctuary. Everyone knows that. The problem is that they are coming in illegally. If they went through the legal process of becoming American citizens they would be welcomed. It would also reduce the amount of drugs being brought into this country as well. The flow needs to stop.

You are conflating two different things though. "These people" were most of us unless your ancestry was native American or African American. You have no perspective or empathy because you were not the individual in your lineage to make it possible for you to be born here "legally". You don't think there were issues with crime when those people made it possible for you? Half the fortune 500 companies here are run by immigrants. That lineage or yours didn't just show up legally!

This is why this was a bipartisan issue for years until Trump. You guys have bought his bullshit. That doesn't mean the rest of us have to. Go look up Reagan's stance on immigration.

I wish your stance on being "legal" applied to other things in the rights platform like abortion right? Isn't that legal? Yet you fight against it right? You guys get on a high horse about legalized things except when it has to do with things the right wants to do.

Obviously everyone isn't going to have good intentions coming here. We just allow the legal system to handle those people... but don't apply that to everyone who wants an opportunity just like most of the lineage in this country.

Sorry CD, I'm not on drugs to be able to understand this rant. Since I am so ignorant, please make your rant more defined. I really want to understand this one. Please excuse me!

I was pretty clear. If you have no serious rebuttal then just don't respond. The facetious reply really isn't necessary.

Cd, all I know there are two ways to do things...legal or illegal. These people are illegal entrants to our country. Spin it if you can.

Again...I told you. You are on a high horse because the fact is there is a reason that Reagan took the stance he did. If you are seeking refuge. It is legal to seek refuge. PERIOD! You are trying to paint a picture that all immigrants that seek refuge are doing so illegally and that isn't true. What you don't understand you mock because you don't understand this fact.

There is international law and there is American law. Your lineage took advantage of the very thing you mock. Do you think your heritage was born here? You will not touch this question because the answer is NO...and it makes you appear to be a hypocrite. It wasn't unless you were brought here as an African or you are native American. If you want to meet the standard of legal from both international and American.

Yet, the right does not look at legality when it comes to things like Abortion....FACT!!!! Being legal isn't always moral right? It was legal to own human beings at one time. So what? Looking at it as a matter of legal or not legal isn't really prudent because it is a much more complex issue than that. It is either moral or not moral for me. It was moral and not moral for Reagan. It is moral or not moral for anyone with morals. I don't need a law created by humans to tell me what is moral.

 

[cdwright40]

Listen, I am woke AF. Everyone at that capital Jan 6 invaded our capital as part of an insurrection of our government. Do you think that was legal? Well, let me answer for you. Your party does not because they don't even want it investigated. Why? Because they know they will find out who is culpable and it isn't pretty. There is a bigger threat right here domestically of people who are so called "legal" than any immigrant seeking refuge. Yet, you want us to think they are the enemy because they aren't American? Again, I am woke AF and as Flava Flav said. I see clearly. My vision is not blurry. It's the victimization of people that are "other" than you are. The so called social "cleansing" of America.

I understand the fact if "non Americans" come here and colonize a country, you are breaking laws. Then call themselves "Americans". Therefore, you have absolutely no right to talk to me about what the law happens to be...just because you colonized a country and made your own laws. There is a moral component. Do you think it was legal to native Americans for you to kill them? Steal their land? Enslave people? So don't come here with a high horse talking to me about legal. If people are seeking refuge so be it. I feel safer with them than any of you hyenas beating cops with an American flag. That's for sure.
