I will leave you to find the links....google Mexican Wall not wanted by Republican Texans.....Lots of reading to back up this CNN report.
Indeed, alot of people can't seem to grasp the close links and ties that border communities have with the other side of the line. The border communities are alot like Puerto Rico, they are caught between two worlds. They are neither Hispanic, nor Anglo ... rather a mix of both. Consequently the local Republicans tend to oppose things like building massive walls and mass roundups.

So what part of believing them now on anything, did you miss?
What part of the people describing that their land was cut in half and their houses were on the river side of the wall? Or that a wall can't be built hugging the river bank? Or interfering with the flood plan as per the treaty with Mexico? What part did you miss?

Hilarious.

These people give no second thought of hurting others are somehow oblivious to the fact that the sword they use could be a double edged one.
Tt makes me happy to see trump voters having it blow up in their face.
Yup.
Karma.

Being on the south side of the wall doesn't put them in Mexico. The official border isn't changing.

Trump tweets are the only source everyone should rely on for accurate news.

Normally, I do not find joy in other people's problems, but this one is really too good to pass up ! We have been saying that Trump voters will not change their minds about voting for him UNTIL something he does hits them square in the eyes.

We see so many Trump cheer leaders on here, applauding every time he signs one more of his vindictive Executive Orders, and they will be laughing until they get that "OH S*** !!!!!!" moment when one of his orders affects them. There are a lot of people in for a rude awakening when they realize they have shot themselves in the foot by electing this madman.
