I don’t know what they intend to do about it. If Texas is able to keep them out the Mexicans will just cross into New Mexico. There is nothing over there but than a rusty falling down barbed wire fence, no river to swim.
There were 1,650,000 illegals in Texas, about 6.7% of the population.
There were 1,100,000 illegals in the Texas workforce, about 9% of the workforce.
Without the illegals, the Texas economy would collapse.
