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.

Same in Massachusetts as well. ICE could set up buses outside them and fill them all day with indios and other creatures that have mysteriously materialized here. Me, I’d use a large wood chipper, and start with our local politicians and immigration “activists” first.

It is unfortunate that we haven’t had a president with the courage to militarize the border. Perhaps we will in 2024.

It’s always the ones who aren’t content with the status quo who leave. If they are escaping from Venezuela, they believe that things aren’t going to get better there. The ones left either agree with socialism or they can’t leave.

“What’s up with that? Is there no water service where they are residing?”

The water works probably locked the meter and they’re too cheap to pay the bill and the reconnect fee, or the subhuman cockroaches are so backwards that they don’t have indoor plumbing where they’re from.

More to the point they’re criminals. They broke the law.

The ER where I work in southern NJ is always full of them.

They’re never alone. It’s almost always three or four of them and the women are always pregnant.

Pop out a kid and *bingo*, instant citizenship.

The bit with the water is that there’s probably a boatload of them living all in one house.

If you have a number of people in a zone where water usage is usually at a moderate usage the utility company won’t notice anything different. If they notice one particular residence or more suddenly spiking up the meter they will notice it.

So in order to stay off the radar these parasites resort to this.

As far as they see it they’re not paying for it so....

You don’t want to visit a Walmart in Irving, TX on Sunday. You’ll think you’re in Mumbai.
