I think it’s finally time to talk about what is going on in Texas. Texas, you may recall, shares a border with Mexico and is being overrun with illegal migrants from Central and South America.

Now, before you get all righteous and indignant, remember there are thousands upon thousands of people crossing, legally and illegally, into Texas every single day. Try to imagine how you would feel if thousands upon thousands of people showed up in your state, county, city, whatever, every single day.

Hell, the mayor of New York City is pleading for help and there are only a few hundred migrants arriving by bus every day.

So, Gov. Greg Abbott has been handling this invasion in his own inimitable fashion. The latest outrages include pushing illegal migrants back into the Rio Grande, denying water to the ones who make it across the river and on to dry land, laying miles of concertina wire along the banks of the river, and the final outrage which has gotten him into trouble with the DOJ, laying buoys in the middle of the river to prevent illegal migrants from being able to swim across.

Funny how the federal government has ignored years of abuse against migrants, but the moment a string of bright orange buoys appears, all hell breaks loose…
