Have you ever been to the border between Texas and Mexico or ever even gone to El Paso? Drive along I-10 through El Paso. Difficult to tell Mexico from Texas.

In Brownsville Mexican kids walk across the bridge, board school buses and off they go to Texas schools. Why are Texas taxpayers paying for medical care for adults who are not U.S. Citizens and for kids through Medicaid if both bio parents are not U.S. Citizens?

Lot of this could be prevented if Straus, Speaker of the House since 2009, would allow bills to come up for a vote when the Legislature convenes. If we just simply cut off the jobs and benefits it would help a lot. Straus and many others will not say NO to the Chamber of Commerce and big business. In Texas the Governor does not have as much power as in other states.

The big picture for me is, look at the problem and fix it Put up with the inconveniences and backlash. Do what the law allows Don’t go too far and get completely eliminated, but fix it

Texans, from what I see in daily life, way wimpy. In NY we say, ‘hey. Don’t be rude speak English!’ When I say that in Texas the white people around not to mention everyone else, say hey, we’re uncomfortable wit face to face confrontation like that. Take your New York accent and go home, Yankee”

That’s what I see. And it pervades to their government

I think it’s wimpy

Close the border.
