Embrace the suck, Lori.
What’s the matter, Beetlejuice? Are you scared that the central american “youths” are out breeding the local Teenz?
Why does Texas need to spend the money to address all those things? The lack of awareness from these people is astounding. Well ex mayor, the border just moved farther north.
Send every last one of them to Martha’s Vineyard.
8000 is a weeks worth in one Texas border sector.
What makes her so sure it is Texas who is sending them? Texas, given the choice, would send them back south. The feds are shipping them north east and west.
Miguel was asked where he wanted to go. Miguel said Cheekoko. It was his/her/they choice. What’s inhumane about that?

She should have sent the letter to the Cartels.
“Agreed. Her city is not safe for man or beast.”

Texas is being invaded, and Abbott is still just doing publicity stunts.
Someone should have also told Groot that there was an answer to the problem if her & others like her were really interested in a solution.
