Will see in November just how conservative they are.Interesting take from a liberal consulting firm;
"What we found
Overall, non-native Texans were much more conservative than the state as a whole, and some moved to Texas explicitly because of its conservative politics."
SURVEY: Despite GOP fears, new Texans are pushing the state to the right
Between 2010 and 2020, California essentially lost a congressional district to Texas, with somewhere around three-quarters of a million people moving from the Golden State to the Lone Star State. And the perception on the ground is that this migration has sped up since the pandemic started.chismstrategies.com
1998? It was a problem 25 years before that. Growing up around DC you constantly read in the paper and watched on the news, endless immigration raids all around Md,DC and Virginia and hauling dozens of illegals to jail while working in the landscape, hotel, restaurant, country club and many outer manual labor businesses.I've posted this before, but I think it bares a repeat in this context. My unit was assigned to assist Border Patrol for 2 months as part of JTF-6. I believe it was 1998, but it could be a year +/-. We were Combat Engineers and we would spend a month building a fence and a month riding with BP alternatively. This was in Douglas, AZ. Relevant to this statement:
The BP heavily recruited us while we were there, come work for BP after the Army, no college degree required, pension rolls over, etc. Literally none of us did. Not one. The job just looked so no-win even then. Nothing you did could really make a difference even then. Catch and release even then.
I understand how bitter and cynical I sound on this topic, but it's a ****ing decades old issue that every single POTUS and Congress has ignored, actively assisted, and only made noise about when it was politically advantageous. Neither side wants to fix it, and I deleted the rest of what I typed because I don't need to rant that rant again. Few things I can't control work me up like this, and a side order of **** Bill Clinton.
Yep.This is interesting timing. Doesn't the movie about a Civil War come out in April? In the movie, it has Texas on the side against the Federal government.

Yep.
Well no ****, it predates what I saw as a kid also. Lighten up.Nobody said the problem started in 1998. I said I *deployed with JTF-6* in 1998. No **** the problem predates my unit deploying to the border.

You run out of manual safety Glock troll posts?Well no ****, it predates what I saw as a kid also. Lighten up.
Actually arresting and deporting illegals in raids, now that's a blast from the past.1998? It was a problem 25 years before that.

Sperate the rangers back to what they were(premerger with state police). Ask for volunteers to fulfil their prior mission of protecting Texas. Take in any fit to serve. Let them loose.I suspect the federal government will federalize the Texas national guard in order to stop them from working on behalf of the state of texas.
Abbott's next option maybe to use the Texas rangers a relatively unique organization.
Lol. My father was a golf guy, with the tournaments around DC he would watch a few eash year. Like at Congressional or Kenwood clubs, twice during tournament's INS had raids when he was there.Actually arresting and deporting illegals in raids, now that's a blast from the past.
Hell no, start a new thread.You run out of manual safety Glock troll posts?
This might get him an armed march on Washington. Make Jan6 look like a kids party.very publicly use armed federal force against Texans to open the border back up for the swarm.

They do not need a detective agency(what rangers are now), they need the fighting force the rangers used to be.
