Crystal City, Texas has NO MONOPOLY on such things, what do you think happens in Washington DC with congress and the senate plus all the extended departments within the gubmint.
If you have ever been down there and been involved with the people down there, the mescans vote 100% democrat (but do not know why) and always vote their relatives in.
I am a 4 hour drive from the border and am in the same district for my DC rep. Ain't that screwed up, right?
