    kudos to Texas and about time states start taking matters into their own hands. Waiting 3 more years for a chance at not having an incompetent moron in the White House is simply a waste of time and lives. Get the job done and wait for a Republican President to pay your state back.

    How did walls become racist (according to Democrats) when Democrats built over 900 miles of them before Trump?
    Good for Texas

    Trump was not able to get Congress to approve funding for a wall.
    First because of moderate Republicans, led by a Trump-loathing RINO Republican Speaker of the House, and then because Democrats took majority control of both houses.

    Texas cannot afford not to build the wall. The costs in Illegal Aliens on medical, education, law enforcement, and infrastructure is crushing.

    Dems paint everything as racist. That’s no longer as effective as people are waking up. The wall is happening, despite the lefts irrational opposition to it. No matter how much they stood against it, protested, rioted, ultimately they are powerless to stop progress.

    Way to go Texas!

    And because it was Trump Biden's letting all the steel fencing we paid lay out there doing nothing. Texas even offered to buy it but Biden said no he'd rather it just sit there a waste of taxpayer money all because of Trump.

    "We paid" ? I don't remember Dirty Donnie asking me if he could spend my money on steel fencing.

    As for Tejas buying it, no problem, cost plus 30%. And not with any federal money.

    If I was Texas, I wouldn't only build a Wall along the Mexico border, I'd also build a Wall along the New Mexico border to the west and Louisiana border to the East, that way the Illegals would have to sneak way up through either of those States in order to enter Texas. That might slow um down trying to walk along 100's of miles of border fence inside the United States.

    Did have to ask YOU personally, that is why you have through your stated a Congressional delegation. Texas wants to buy it with THEIR money and THEY are doing the federal government and federal taxpayer the favor so how about 30% BELOW cost else it can sit there and rust it that would make you happy just to try and stick it to Trump.

    There is still a lot of building materials on the ground near the border but Biden won't sell it to Texas.

    My congressional delegation voted against the border wall. As stated previously, I'll tell my congressional delegation to sell it to Tejas for cost plus 30% with the caveat that no federal money gets used in the purchase. No favors for states who haven't vaccinated their residents ( short about 40% as of today) and who
    continue to help spread COVID ( as in fighting against mask mandates ) thereby costing MORE taxpayer money, including federal funds.

    Silly Texans, don’t they know that walls don’t work? What they should be doing is something useful like taking pretty pictures of the illegals with drones

    walls have never been racist, I do not think Trump wanted the great wall of Trump for racist reasons, Trump just wanted his name on the wall

    Obama built walls where needed, so did Trump, so will Biden - but no one wants a great wall of Trump across the entire border

    even republicans on the border did not want a great wall of Trump

    No worries... The immigrants will just come in over the border in New Mexico, then hang a right if they want to get into Texas (although why anybody would is beyond me)

    More fake claims.
    There is no wall with the name Trump on it at the border. Its just an iron fence. If Trump building it hurts your feelings then I might suggest to grow up a bit.
    And Biden will NEVER help complete it. In fact, we have hundreds of millions of dollars in purchased fencing rotting because Biden STOPPED building the wall.
    What program is Biden instituting to continue to build the wall as you claimed?

    Perfect post

    If texas doesnt want mask mandates, then they should get ZERO funding from the federal government for healthcare for those with rona.

    If your state thinks getting a Covid shot stops the spread of Covid, I doubt they could calculate 30% of cost. lol

    I never claimed that

    I said if a wall is needed, Biden will build it, same as Obama did

    Trump's wall is dead in the water, any new walls will be Biden's walls

    Trump's walls already falling apart

    No you didn't. You said he would continue to build the wall where its needed.
    Biden he has the highest illegal alien crossings in the history of the country.
    So where is his program to build this wall as its needed everywhere they are illegally crossing.
