This is good, as far as it goes. Once they're in the country, how could you keep them out of Texas?

Not sure how to solve that problem, but I can't say enough how proud I am of Greg Abbott and his entire team through all current issues. He exemplifies all of my beliefs! Abbott for president!

They are not refugees to the current POTUS, to him they are brothers and sisters.

No doubt about that. He will do anything possible to import his very own selected future voters.

Close all the borders. We've got our own crawdads and boudin, so we can do without Louisiana. We've got our own...uh...do we get anything from OK or NM anyway? See who flinches first.

After all the wonderful people Katrina blew in from New Orleans, does anyone else see a bit of perverse humor in Louisiana's current plight?
