"If the wall would help I wouldn't mind. But it won't help. It'll be a big expense, a big problem, ugly as hell and unfriendly to Mexico," said Moody, 84, born in Galveston and heir to one of the largest and oldest fortunes in Texas
...and whose fortune he owes to the broken backs of the humans his family exploited that are in the U.S. working illegally and so cannot force him to pay an them an honest wage, decent wage.

Sometimes you wish you had someone phone number so you could call them and tell them what a smuck they are. And what propoganda from the reporter. Where was the barf alert tag on this one?

I'm not a fan of the "barf alert", preferring to let others reach their own conclusion. As someone already pointed out here, you can expect to see more of these slanted articles. I intend to expose them here.

Moody and the rest of the land owners along the border need to get used to the fence that “we the U.S. are going to make sure is built!

During the Cuban Missile Crisis the 49th Armored Division (Texas National Guard) was mobilized into Fort Polk, La. One of the Galveston’s Moody clan was called up as a bitter ER (Army Enlisted Reserve) to help fill our ranks. I was on the staff of the company of which he was assigned. He was really a snob! Within a week of his sign in we received a telegram from Vice President Lindon Johnson directing us to have the Moody child at the Fort Polk air field at a specific time to be picked up by a plane that would ferry him to Houston. It was the last we saw of him. Needless to say, all the other Er’s had to stay until we were demobilized.
