Hey, Travis Co. idiots, you’ll be saving money you’re spending on all the illegal alien criminals in your jails. Now if we could get the thousands of Mexico’s children out of our Texas public schools, we’d be talking real money saved.

Ah yes, then there is Austin...that capitol city of my beloved state...so full of academic morons and mindless twenty-somethings. You are followers who will never produce a genuine leader. You are insignificant underachievers who will always yearn for what they have not earned... Austin you are a shameful example of what higher education can make of a once shining city and your very name is hateful to me. May you be brought low for your “weirdness”. Your liberal nonsense has gotten way out of hand.

They’ll have a change of heart when it starts costing them their money. Other people’s money is fine to waste, but when it’s their money they will change their tune.

possible loss of grant money

Here's a thought: Don't become addicted to "grant money" and you can't be threatened with the loss thereof.

I live in that county ....and I'm looking forward to the day that we lose that Santuary City status whether voluntarily or by force....

It's wrong, and I will continue to vote to abolish it in any way possible....let the cattle drive begin heading southward!
