Catfish sez:
"Are you helping us pay for it? Just wondering"
No.
It's up to YOU in Texas to pay for it.
You can choose NOT to pay, thus, no border wall across all of southern Texas.
But if you do that, you're going to "pay" another way, supporting the millions more who will flood into the state.
And worse than that (I don't know if you're in TX or not), you'll be paying even MORE when those millions are legalized and start voting for the leftists.
So... you were a manager, and I sense you know much more about matters financial than I do.
Which course of action will be cheaper and of lesser consequences in the long run?
@Fishrrman I found that response quite insulting.....
1st point.. Up to me, and the taxpayers of Texas to front the entire cost of the protection of the entire U.S? Come on..... This is the entire nation's problem, and your contention that the folks of just border states should foot the bill does not put you in a good light.
2nd point- What gives in your insult of our governor who at least is trying to slow the hoard. He has really gone out on a limb, and with risk legally and politically. The fact that 20+ other governors have come to his defense, just shows how out of step you are on the pulse of the breadth and scale of the problem. Your cavalier attitude is troubling.
At least Abbott is trying. How about you?
3rd point. What does my vocation and understanding of finances have to do with this issue on a macro scale? I am just one voice, nor would any of my drastic or draconian measures would ever be remotely be considered by mainstream political leadership. Anything I'd add here would be moot at best, but more likely derided.
Not trying to pick a fight, but Abbott deserves widespread support instead of cat calls.
