Shelters in a Texas city struggled to find space Saturday for migrants who authorities say have abruptly begun crossing by the thousands from Mexico, testing a stretch of the U.S. border that is typically equipped to handle large groups of people fleeing poverty and violence.

The pace of arrivals in Brownsville appeared to catch the city on the southernmost tip of Texas off guard, stretching social services and putting an overnight shelter in an uncommon position of turning people away. Officials say more than 15,000 migrants, mostly from Venezuela, have illegally crossed the river near Brownsville since last week.

That is a sharp rise from the 1,700 migrants that Border Patrol agents encountered in the first two weeks of April, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials.

Venezuela was once the second richest country in the Western hemisphere. Let's hope that the Venezuelans have learned their lesson from 20 years of socialism.

Walmarts are already getting pretty crowded all day. Longer lines at the gas stations too!! Going to Walmart is like taking a day trip to Juarez.

The Dung Beetle Party voters need to take these people in and provide them with shelter, food, booze and tickets to a Taylor Swift concert. These are their “cousins”.

The Great Population Replacement continues. Am I permitted to say that out loud?

Did they apply to enter the country legally?

Or did they invade with the intent of taking what they want?

If the latter, we know they are still the same people who put Chavez in power.

The great replacement is well on it’s way.
That is why the DC swamp monsters do nothing to stop the border crossers. They are the democrat party’s permanent underclass that will always vote for them and keep them in power.

“Going to Walmart is like taking a day trip to Juarez.”

It’s that way in Colorado too. They’ll never kick them out.

The same thing is happening in my neck of the woods. And I don’t live in Texas. I’m north of the Mason-Dixon Line.

Now here’s the puzzling thing. There are always long lines at the water-dispensing station. They are filling up these large containers with water. What’s up with that? Is there no water service where they are residing?

What Bidenskyyyyy and his retarded voter base don’t understand is, these bass turds aren’t here for “asylum”. They’re here to get issued a race card and live PERMANENTLY off the backs of Caucasian American taxpayers. Elections do have consequences and these consequences are going to be bad. Americans are going to lose a lot of rights and freedoms because of these freeloading troublemakers coming here. “From ‘melting pot’ to septic tank.” It’s sad.

That won’t work. Remember when DeSantis sent 50 illegals to Martha’s Vineyard? The liberal elite living there removed those 50 illegals pretty damn quick. “We don’t have the resources to deal with them.” That was the excuse.

That kind of hypocrisy is pretty hard to beat.

If they stay in Brownsville (which I doubt they will), it will be the great population EXPANSION. Brownsville is already 95% Hispanic.

Yeah, and then they patted themselves on their backs and gave themselves awards for the “compassionate” way they handled it.

I would guess that whatever sh!thole villages they came from, there was only one or two public wells that they would queue up to for potable water.

They're conditioned that way. Just a guess.
