Hopefully other border governors do the same. We have an inept fake president that's good for nothing. All Joey is interested in is harming those in the US in trying to get more dem votes. Funny thing is the hispanics aren't all voting democrat as he hoped. Joey should definitely be arrested for treason.
Yeah, and Trump was just kidding around to get votes when he said Mexico would pay the expenses for building the wall.

It's a good thing Canadians are reputed to be a lot nicer, more advanced people or you would be clamoring for a wall to be built across the border with Canada, another quite costly expense. Who ever heard of a Canadian coming across the border to harm anybody?

Yeah, really. Texans sure don't want to overbuild and keep out all immigrants. After all, employers only have to pay immigrants, legal or not, $7.25 an hour or less if they think they can get by with it. It's too bad how people who are quite greatly against illegal immigration keep voting for Republicans who don't want to do much to crack down it. Republicans don't want to offend their donors who hire immigrants, legal or not.

Ya got that right. The end justifies the means to leftists, and they're out to cancel the US of America.
Not every expert agrees. Not even every border control admin agrees.

https://www.texastribune.org/2021/07/02/texas-bortuote experts that say the border wall is a waste of money.

So Abbott will build that wall and we will see.
Our two theories will be played out.
No I do not believe that poster knows more than me and I do not believe his experts are so much smarter or more legit than the experts I have quoted.

If it's not about Trump, why did you bring him up in your OP?

All that matters is the country was in better shape when Trump was in office. Because of Trump, Mexico agreed to retain the illegals in Mexico and we were able to get a good amount of the wall built. Joey isn't doing that. Joey doesn't want illegals to stay in Mexico. You can't deny that our border was in a lot better shape when Trump was president. Look at the condition of the border now. It's a complete failure and so is Kamalllla and Mayorkas. They say crazy things like "root causes' and 'the border is closed'. lol...such idiots. If either of their mouths are moving, they are lying. Neither of them give a crap about the border.

I thought all that mattered is that you are getting your wall.

As he should. I hope he does keep his job. He's doing good things for TX and America by wanting to keep the illegals out!! What's wrong with that? We sure don't want some idiot to take his place and not try to prevent illegals from entering. Kudos to Abbott!!

So those land owners who did not want a wall, did they get their land back or eminent domain by the state now taking their properties? The voters better wake up, between him and Disantis they are forgetting what the majority of the people want.

The wall will slow them down.

Anybody wanting in will just go some place else where there is no wall.

Might be harder, might cost them more, but anybody wanting in will come in.
