Should the feds give money to Texas to handle the aliens?

Lets us go with that, so tell us......there should be one term for people who commit illegal acts.

So you are on board with T**** being locked up and being disallowed from running in 2024?

It doesn’t seem fair, other states would like to have free money just as well. Why should Texas be treated specially?
Here is an idea. Governor Adams of New York, to get even with Abbott dumping aliens in NYC, should get all of the marauders criminals that are let back out on the street and send them on buses to Texas

Absolutely agree!

Texas had all these years to secede and preserve their oh so very special Texasness, but with all their Texan swagger they couldn't get it done.

My one addition would be that NYC feed the immigrants some real New York pizza before bussing them back to Texas.

Also: Every state bordering Texas should set up toll booths on their side of the border.

"Drinks", Joe. The word is "drinks", not "chalks".

No, thanks, but I use chalk on a huge blackboard on the icebox, right next to my Nancy Pelosi refrigerator, listing all you fellers, with check marks on all my debate wins.
I thought I had lost one, but I was mistaken!!

As to help at the border....It is a Border of the United States,,,,not just a Texas Border. So yes, no question that the Federal Government, including our armies and navy and Air Force, should rush to any USA border being crashed by aliens. That is a given.
It would follow that the govt should protect our sovereignty by guarding the borders.
Instead, the govt has ...[text shortened]... now understand what the big problem is.
A country with no border cannot actually be a country.

What is horrible about the influx ??
Perhaps there should be more concern about people crashing FBI offices.
And maybe spend some $$ on a better wall around the Capital.
You know, to keep out the ingrates who claim their US citizenship because their parents were too stupid to use birth control on American soil !!

And I agree with the toll booth idea. I want to help right the Rules and Regulations non the border sign! Can you imagine illegal aliens wandering the streets and alleyways of your town, looking for ........looking for.......what? And, Finding what........

If convicted of a crime, I would be the first person to show him the requirements for running for president. Of course, he could not, and I would not want him to, with a criminal record.

I dont know about being 'locked up', it all has to do with minimum and maximum sentences for whatever crime. And yes, if he is found guilty, such sentences should be applied. Common Sense.
But HERE is the problem. Hillary et al should also be tried for what are 'thought to be crimes' that she may or may not have committed. And the rest of the huge gang that spied and did everything else to Trump, you can google it, it is there.
So, assuming findings of guilt or innocence, they will either BOTH (all) be sentenced, or neither will be sentenced. Or, she could be guilty and he could be innocent.
Anyway, I say apply the law. What else would I say? I have said to try Biden for his violating the law (the border), but if they don't, how can they possibly try Trump?

But no human is forced to live in a border. Humans are forced to 'respect' borders, however. Why, you ask? Because the humans within the border own all of the air and the land and the resources inside of the border, and have every right to keep other humans from crossing over their border into their land.
Your reference to animals, birds, totally escapes me. A sill ...[text shortened]... rison would be an example of that. Yeah, Shav, we can force a prisoner to live in a prison. Whew.

Why does not Shav respond to this post? He asked me a 'why' question, and I eloquently answered it, with civility and with no profanity.
Why don't libs respond to posts?
