He is a very honorable man with always alot of Texas common sense and he is exactly right.

Beto O'Rourke on the other hand claims walls don't save lives and they end lives.

Dan Patrick is a man of impeccable integrity and brilliance and cares about Texas. Beto on the other hand will say anything for attention.

Since moving to Texas, I have always been in a massive fan of Dan Patrick. Would be a fantastic thing if he ran for governor once Abbott decides to retire.

Abbott has been fantastic, but Patrick is even better and he touts his conservative values also which is always a plus.

Of course violence would have spilled over if not for the wall.

How many drugs would have come over? How many guns would have gone back and forth over the border? How many Americans would have woken up to find their car was stolen out of their driveway and is now in Mexico? How many kids would have been abducted and used by gangs and held as sex objects or for ransom.





These scenarios play out all over the world everyday when people that "have" are in close proximity to people that "have not". It is the main reason that people that "have" retreat to relatively safe places at night behind walls, fences and locked doors with security systems.



This is a fact of life that is somehow lost on the Democrats that think we can all live together in some Kumbaya campfire moment.

Mexican Governor deports MS 13 gang members and other criminals at the border. The wall seems to be helping Mexico and no reason it won't help America.


Mexico deports MS-13 gang members found in caravan near Texas border

"We have data that there are agitators inside the shelter, that there are members of the caravan who are provoking others, some of them belong to the Mara Salvatrucha , some others who bring criminal records in their country and what we have been doing is deporting them directly with Migration,

Ya know, when you think about how problematic the drug problem is, especially for these areas, and all the deaths and lives destroyed...using military to go into Mexico and wipe these cartels out would definitely be justified, it is basically terrorism.


The war on drugs seems to be the only war where they do not target the source of the problem....very strange and suspicious imo!!
