    Hopefully you also understand the illegals caught today are getting court dates in 2031. Talk about passing the f'ing buck to our kids. More are coming in than babies being born in America, how long is it before Americans are the minority in their own country? Hell Texans are quickly becoming a minority in their own state, think about that.

    That's my point. We need to fix that, so they can expedite the process. The 2012 reform would have done it, and it was passed by Senate with overwhelming bi-partisan vote, only to be trash-canned by Boehner. He would not allow it to be debated in the House. That will would have built a wall + boost number of agents + expedite deportation process. It had the whole GOP wish list, but they didn't even want to talk about, and they don't want to talk about it now. They only want to complain about it.

    I dont see that happening.

    Backfired because the amount of immigrants has increased, and will continue.

    Trump is correct- banning him from the ballot based on mere accusations and opinion WILL cause procedural chaos. Basically anyone could thus be banned from the ballot based on such subjectivity.

    ...which is not 'calling for civil war' btw.

    How is that Abbots fault in any way shape or form? Its because of Biden's policies on what is going on at the border that he is doing what he's doing. Nothing he did has increased the amount of illegals coming. Biden is the one encouraging them. Not Abbot.

    And yes, as long as Biden is President it will no doubt continue. He is that incompetent.

    He is making it easy for immigrants to stay in the USA. I posted about this 2yrs ago, stating more would come. RWers thought it was amusing, Abbott only made it worse.

    How is he making it easier? The Biden Admin has already determined that they can stay until some court date far in the future. Can't make it any easier than that.

    By busing them to other areas. That law has always been there. And what Abbott is doing was the opposite of what Trump was doing.

    More are coming across and Abbott is helping them.

    Abbott is helping them. !!!!

    Doesn't take much to see his strategy is self defeating.

    FFS... They are getting summons to appear in 2031, a free smart phone with service, airline tickets to their destination of choice and they are not being told to stop.

    The only thing he is helping, is getting them to sanctuary cities. The Biden administration was already shipping them into the interior of the country. Abbot is merely directing them accordingly.

    Sorry it was this comment of yours that I was laughing at:

    "Btw, under Biden, more illegals have been arrested and deported than the previous administration. Most of the immigrants crossing the border are doing so legally, following our immigration laws."

    Comedy gold!

    It's like the left doesn't even try to be artful anymore, they just toss it out there no matter how ridiculous ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    It's gotten worse over the years. I think it's because they realize they don't need to bother being factual, their side has already won.

    There's no question that power is accumulated through seniority, that the opportunities for corruption grow with the power- and it becomes entrenched.
    There are also advantages to the experience of seniority, but without a reliable way to insure integrity, I think the visions of duty with honor get degraded until there in none.
    This can be fixed. The time is right, even Congress admits it is in dire need of rehab. We're working on it here.

    Please explain to me where I got it wrong? I didn’t purport to quote him verbatim but the essence of his remark is that it’s too bad Texas can’t just murder brown people.

    What percentage of migrants crossing the border are non-Hispanic white people?
