Immigration as an issue is largely useful to the Right as a cudgel to beat their way into a dictatorship.

Four years after Gov. Greg Abbott announced Texas would be the first state to build its own border wall, lawmakers have quietly stopped funding the project, leaving only scattered segments covering a small fraction of the border. That decision, made in the waning hours of this year's legislative session, leaves the future of the state wall unclear. Just 8% of the 805 miles the state identified for construction is complete, which has cost taxpayers more than $3 billion to date. The Texas Tribune reported last year that the wall is full of gaps that migrants and smugglers can easily walk around and mostly concentrated on sprawling ranches in rural areas, where illegal border crossings are less likely to occur.

We can see from the above how deadly the "alien invasion" really is.

"leaves the future of the state wall unclear"

The future of the wall is not unclear at all. It'll rust, collapse, or be carted away.

Interesting how such an existential threat as migration can suddenly prove to not be so existential at all.

You clowns are so predictable.

There is no invasion.

Your cause lapsed into hysteria to frighten a lot of people enough so that you could subdue them.

Not talking about the migrants here.

Talking about what you do to your countrymen.

There never was an invasion.

Here I am looking for the invading hordes in Texas, where you'd think I'd spot one or two, and they never came.

Or, if they did come, they were absorbed seamlessly and immediately into the local economy and culture.

You people try to pull this same trick with "communists".

Communists are rarer than Ivory Billed Woodpeckers.

But you manage to see them everywhere and want people to be deathly afraid of them.

It's sick and destructive.

I'm almost glad for Trump's mindless war with Iran.

It'll provide some other hypocrisy for you to obsess about besides migrants.

And the border is closed.

There will never be reliable proof of that until Trump and MAGA are gone from power.

Of all the may things you people are willing to lie shamelessly about, this is the greatest.

It shows that state wall is redundant when the Feds do their jobs.

I am willing to bet that when accurate stats concerning the border come available after Trump is dead that this is identified as yet another MAGA lie.

If you did t see it then it didn't happen?

I trust the evidence of my own eyes a hell of a lot more than what Donald Trump tells me.

I know you understand this. Trump is a Liar, and especially lies about things dear to his ego.

I also said that, if the "invasion" were actually real, that all those criminal migrants were finding honest jobs and fitting into their communities without much of a ripple.

I either case, you people are hysterical ninnies who become puffed up with anger when other people decline to be ninnies with you.
