Sure, I got your poll right here.
LOL. Okay, I guess that means Hitlery will win Texas.
What did they do, poll Austin and landowners along the border?
Picking a liberal story/byline somewhat at random...have you noticed that all these so-called reporters look like they graduated high school yesterday?
Nobody is going into journalism except the true believers (read: young leftists) because the pay is horrid and will remain horrid due to a dying advertising/circulation model.
This means only the ideologues are interested. Google any byline from ‘reporters’ at CNN et al and you will see the same thing: a load of selfie-taking idiots congratulating themselves on working for a brand name without mentioning their pittance of a salary.
Somewhat incredibly, these neophytes are regularly called upon to write on complex political and economic stories despite an almost total lack of formal or informal knowledge of the subject. But their schooling has been strictly of the Marxist variety and they haven’t been out of school long enough to be mugged by reality.
They often compensate by seeking the extreme ends of any story. For example, a blurb about a new bar opening will be accompanied by irrelevant carping from MADD or the police about DUIs. In J-School they were told this represents ‘balance’ but it’s simply more of the (unnecessary) polarization they claim to abhor.
Shorter version: hiring the ignorant and printing their ignorance can only produce more of the same.
... based on phone interviews with 1,000 Texas adults regardless of their citizenship or voting status...
IOW, extended berating (interviews) with "adults" (no ages given) regardless of citizenship (illegals) or voting status (Democrats).
Pure, unadulterated BS from The People’s Republic of Austin.
Pure baloney. Texans want the wall!!!
How many of those polled are illegals? Did they go to a holding camp to do the survey?
Poll taken in the Statesman staff offices to illegal janitorial team.
Of course, I don't believe for one second that a majority of Texans are opposed to the wall anyway...
I guess the poll was taken at the “editorials” desk at the Statesman.
No one polled me.
**Spoiler alert! I support a border wall/fence/mote/crater, etc.
A poll of illegal aliens.
So the majority of Texans are illegals now? I knew it would eventually happen, but not this fast.
Is this a real publication?
I wonder how long they will keep the comments open because his own readers are disagreeing with him. LOL!
They must have conducted this poll in Austin.
Proof you can make a poll say anything you want.
Survey probably consisted of Travis county residents only....
Yeah, right. Tokyo Rose working overtime.
OK, this isn’t going to be well-received, but it’s the truth: long-time Texans are a practical bunch, and we know our geography.
There are places where a wall can’t be built or shouldn’t be built. Look at the Big Bend. In less rugged terrain, who gets the Rio Grande? Do we cede access to Mexico, or do we invade and build on their side?
Texans hate illegality, but we value practicality. (And hate eminent domain.). There are better ways.
