Sen. John Cornyn: We don't need more walls between Texas and Mexico OOPS

March 30, 2016

Building more walls between the United States and Mexico will not boost border security, U.S. Sen. John Cornyn said Tuesday.

The Texas Republican toured the Pharr-Reynosa International Bridge and visited Anzalduas Park during an all-day visit to the Rio Grande Valley.

...

Asked about the border wall -- a hot topic during the Republican presidential primary -- Cornyn said he didn't favor new fencing.

....

"When people talk about the border, so often I think they forget the advantages of our proximity to Mexico," Cornyn said. "Six million jobs in the U.S. depend on bi-national trade between the U.S. and Mexico."

They sure as hell can vote for eliminating ten billions dollars' worth of profitable trade for the state of Texas.

Right?

Even in Texas, embracing the politics of stupid crazy shit isn't going to cut it. The demographics are changing and their days are numbered. The only question is what that number is.
