We still have that in my County for County jail inmates. They aren’t chained but they are in striped uniforms with an armed deputy following them in a truck. I saw one group that had yellow placards on their backs that told what they were doing time for. For example “I was driving drunk” or “I was arrested for theft”, stuff like that.

As is often the case, the best solution for Texas is the simplest solution; catch them, put them on buses to the US out of Texas.......wave them on through. The Feds arent going to protect the Texas border, let them deal with the problem in LA or Chicago, but keep them moving right through Texas.

Or we could dump them on them on the southern tip of South America and see how fast they can get back.

A crowdfunding campaign would quickly pay for that.

What will be the cost of cleaning up if Muslim terrorists go jihad in our cities.

It’s not just people from the Americas flooding into our borders

Regardless of what it costs, illegals cost us over $1 trillion dollars a year when everything is calculated relating to costs associated with illegal activities. If it cost 25 billion to arrest and try them so wnat? We are cutting down o. The skyrocketing costs of illegals here in the US. A $25 billion dol.ar Wall is a drop in the bucket compared to what we would save by keeping out nearly all the illegals and booting the ones here out. We would be saving near $1 trillion a year. Even at 1/2 the cost it would still be a massive bargain to build the wall!

Not doing anything about illegal invaders is going to cost us more.

Send them to some remote island off the coast of Alaska and air drop supplies once a month.

They want to be in the US?

Well, the Aleutian Islands are.

And dare the commies in Washington to try to stop us. If they get back too fast, drop them a little further south and let them swim a little.

Each migrant costs about $80k a year vs. about 30K a year pay for picking fruit or cleaning hotels.

I recently heard the number was $65 million a day for the border mess. It is NOT cheaper to house them and feed them in a cage.

Just do it!
It cost taxpayers money to have a MILITARY, too!
What good are they if they can’t keep the USA safe?

Worth keeping criminals out just as
we keep our country from being attacked!

Is there anyway that Abbot could make his own deal with President Obrador of Mexico?

Bulls**t. It was never theirs to begin with. Mexicans never were part of the American Southwest and it was the Spaniards who first engaged ‘’Native Americans’’.

“Stolen’’ your ass. Don’t ever post anything to me again. You’re an idiot.

Can’t they just shoot them as members of an invading army?

The Mexican Army has a hard time recognizing border bridges so cross as it strikes their fancy. Nothing is ever done to them.

Members of an invading army wear uniforms and are subject to the Geneva Convention and other international agreements. People not wearing those uniforms would be spies and subject to other rules, correct?

Better to move these people to Gitmo for holding and processing. And let them walk into Cuba anytime they want to leave.

It wasn’t Mexico that owned it.

It was Spain.
