Great idea, but let us consider and act - why do we have to wait until we succeed to do this now. We Texans can secure our Texas border with Mexico, and to hell with the Federal border with Mexico.
Then we could tax all entries into Texas, with illegal entrants being taxed most highly before they are sent back across the Texas border.
Wonderful idea. We ought to start banging the drum and make that an issue for the upcoming gubernatorial campaign.
First stop, get our state legislature to adopt and enact the same anti-illegal immigrant laws that Oklahoma put in place recently.
Their illegals looked like a wagon train leaving the state before the ink was even dry.
