Come visit me in Texas. I have a nice service company I started 12 years ago that is doing well. My wife works for an established golf club maker at their corporate office. We have a 4 bedroom house with a pool we paid just over 180,000 for. I own 2 trucks and an SUV. I have 3 kids who go to great public schools.

I don't know one unemployed person in my large circle of friends and many of us own various type's of small businesses employing between 3-5 people.

It's sunny and people are happy.

We're doing so well that we can even spend 400 million of our own tax dollars to secure the US international border with Mexico.

If Texas is not a sh!thole, why should anyone think the USA would be?

If Texas is not a sh!thole, why should anyone think the USA would be?

1. The Mexican invasion ain't quite finished with Texas yet because there are even more illegal friendly destinations. Plus, much of Texas was settled by Hispanic Americans long before the current crop of illegal invaders started coming. Many of them are even more pro borders enforcement than their gringo counterparts.
   
2. My sister and her family lives in a nice North Houston neighborhood in Barbara Jackson Lee's district. Poor lady, she is even more conservative than I am, but it was the luck of the draw. Her neighborhood is fine, but you don't have to travel far to see how much of Houston has become a sh*thole. The businesses still operating all have bars in the windows. Derelicts, illegals and other petty criminals own the parks and the streets. IOW, exactly the kind of constituency which keeps electing a nimrod like Barbara Jackson Lee, just a different shade of color.

BTW, my sister is no fan of Rick Perry, even though she liked George H.W. Bush. That's telling.
