(3,551 posts)There is absolutely nothing happening here except a massive heat wave. All of the border areas of Texas are highly Hispanic and heavily favor the Democratic Party. It's just race baiting. The only problem we have with the border is it's still shut down. I really want to go to see my dentist and eye doctor. A lot of people i know have relatives on the other side and I've met a lot of US retirees who live across the river. On any given normal Sunday before the pandemic many thousands walk across to Mexico and almost as many walk to the USA. On the Mexican side you don't need an ID, but you have to have one to come to the USA. Violence has been pretty close to zero for years. The border patrol has agents every mile and sends planes and helicopters to scan the border in the mornings and evenings. I don't think anybody in the Rio Grande valley worries much about undocumented immigrants hoping to make a better life for themselves.
