I see Texas doing more to stop illegal immigration than any other state. We are impacted more by it, but protecting our borders is a national problem and a responsibility of our nation.
I suggested that from afar Texas seems to show evidence of having:
1) a gravely deepening illegal immigration problem (around two million illegals now, some seven percent of the state's population);
2) a particularly vicious and litigious form of Leftism springing up in the cities; and
3) early symptoms of the same kind of electoral trends that transformed California, for example, from one of our great golden hopes to one of our worst and saddest disasters.
As for any of your problems being "the responsibility of our nation"---I wish you good luck with that one, pard.
We all have plenty of troubles of our own, as you were so quick to suggest earlier.
