Who do youTHINK lives in a southern border town...Mexicans...duh!
That's what I was thinking. Many of these towns, cities, and counties have become heavily Central American anyway, so they figure (correctly) the more that drop anchor there the stronger their political power will be.
The majority of them know nothing about America, her history, or what it means (really means) to be an American. The flag and National Anthem is just something they have to endure prior to a baseball game. For many of them it's party on, we control your country now, Gringo!
“The rest of America may fear what comes over the invisible line that separates Mexico and the United States. But not the people of McAllen.”
I wonder how fast the request will be made to the imperial federal government for assistance funds.
