Without any announcement or open debate, the Republican-controlled Texas Legislature passed a biennial state budget that will effectively halve the amount dedicated to its multi-billion-dollar border security operations—from a proposed $6.5 billion down to about $3.4 billion.
It’s almost as if there was never actually a fuckin crisis in the first place
There was a crisis for some time. The southern border was so overrun that humanitarian conditions were appalling.
Want to see something funny though? Suddenly, the numbers dropped to near ZERO.

Honestly don’t know if the numbers were faked to make Trump look like a hero or if people wised up and stayed back. Immigration slowed in his first term, but not like that.
Or they’re lying about the data.
The crisis is now within the border, not on the other side
All that money that could’ve been spent building houses and infrastructure.
It’s because of DEMOCRATS that Republican Stronghold TEXAS DEFUNDED THE POLICE DURING A FEDERALLY RECOGNIZED INVASION!
So progressive of them.
