I thought Texas a a big illegal immigration problem? What’s up with this?
My guess is the landowners think they can get more money out of it.
In a capitalist system, profit is the ultimate value. Patriotism is nice, but if patriotism cuts into profit it will be dispensed with. That’s called “free trade”.
This is all about border residents (i.e. legal and illegal Mexican immigrants) preventing the fence from being built and maintaining the freeflow of people, money, and drugs across the border. Not to mention the freebies their family members can get here. Nothing can stop their gravy train.
If this case holds, we are not getting equal representation under the law. The border “votes” will be worth more than ours. We are being held hostage by a violent and dangerous minority.
I'll give you a hint. The mayors and buisiness leaders aren't from Dallas or Houston. They're right along the border.
Texas can solve this problem by means of enosis with Mexico.
Many local elected officials in Texas profit from the criminal activity as do the unscrupulous businesses that hire illegal aliens. There are also landowners on the border who profit greatly from aiding the smugglers and harboring the criminals. There is considerable overlap of these groups; an unscrupulous land owner might also be a criminal employer or a political hack.
The suit is an attempt by the pro-criminal axis to protect the invasion and the criminal activity quite a few of them are engaged in.
