As vile Gov Abbott was speechifying at RNC: My jaw is on the floor. This doesn't feel like a political rally.

The Hate is visible!!



My jaw is on the floor.

This doesn’t feel like a political rally. It reads as something far more sinister when you have thousands of people chanting “SEND THEM BACK” and proudly waving their “MASS DEPORTATION NOW” signs in the air.

of Texas who reject people like this - but sadly it seems to be popular for the majority of voters. We go further and further down the rabbit-hole every day.

Will the Republicans be punishing and exposing those that employ these workers, sometimes under the table/off the books?

Does this also apply to young white female foreign sex workers enjoyed by many men in their Party?

How will American consumers of goods and services react to the inconvenience of lack of workers leading to delayed and/or poorer, though more expensive, services and increased prices of goods? Will agents go door to door looking for immigrants? How much will this cost taxpayers? Should certain Americans because of their physical characteristics, occupations, places of worship, where they reside, etc. be compensated for their lives being disrupted and themselves and families being harassed?

Where’s all the investments to Texas? Or will it be more land owned by foreign companies driving up prices here?

Or was it just to get a shot at being a ambassador somewhere?
