Texas or Tejas, what's your opinion?

It appears that most here are against returning to the `46 borders.

My family was here before the American revolution but I only lived in Texas in 1957 and 1958. Too young to know anything about it at the time. thankfully my job brought me to the state many times over the years though.

Sorry I wasn't more clear.
I was asking if the stories are true?
Does anyone in Texas or Arizona give a hoot?

Is there anything that is being done to stop it? Or is there nothing to stop? Originally Posted by Marcus Aurelius

I have friends near the border. They have found illegals in their backyards looking for stuff to steal, or even just food and water, on their journey north. Ranchers have confronted illegals on their land in the act of killing their livestock.
People who live on the border care very much about this problem.

I was in Eagle Pass recently, it was just after dark. The town is eerily silent, nobody is outside. The only where you see activity is at commercial centers, which are all well-lit and with armed security in the parking lots. The town sits right on the Rio Grande, across from a much larger Mexican city.

Went to the casino a few miles south, along the border. Took a wrong turn and ended up on a dirt road, and was very shortly detained by the Border Patrol, and was held until they could establish that we were just wayward citizens who took a wrong turn. We had to pass through another "checkpoint" with staffed with mean green uniformed men and angry snarling dogs on our way back home.

Oh, they're doing something, but with the new orders they're under, named "Turn Back South" vs arresting and then removal just sends them back to attempt it again the next night. The leftist Hispanic voting blocks are established that the Reconquista is just going so well for them, before you know it, we'll again be called "Tejas" and be part of the United Mexican States.

As it should be. A little bit of do unto others goes a long way. I absolutely love Mexican culture. I have a house in Northern Mexico that I don't visit right now because it's too dangerous. But when things settle down, I'll go back to visiting there about a week a month.
