I’m from a ranch in SW Texas-my family has lived in SW/W Texas since the late 1780’s-I’m quite well aware of the “blue” corruption of the border areas-I remember the talk by adults about that corruption when I was a kid-but those were not the people my family hung out with-most of the democrats lived in towns and cities even back then.
I’m Latino, do blue collar work because I like it-and I have no problem calling an illegal a mojado-that is what they are-out here, if someone hires them and we find out about it, we call la migra, too...
Yeah that does not do much good anymore. Heck now a days you are lucky if they even respond.
In Falfurrias they have cut the fuel allotment so much that on a 12 hour shift they cannot even afford to patrol the drags anymore or even keep them maintained.
They may have 2 patrol vehicles out of 20 to answer calls. The rest are parked.
CSO is so strapped for cash from running out of their budgeted money by the first quarter from illegal burials and answering calls they stay parked
It is a nightmare. Texas would be better off telling the Feds to pound sand and forming a Citizens militia to deal with the problem.
