    Well, if Republicans really wanted to stop undocumented aliens, they would make it a felony to employ them. In Texas, about 8.5% of the workforce is reckoned to be undocumented aliens. Certain industries, like home construction , which has been booming have much higher rates. In Florida it's only a misdemeanor to hire illegal aliens. A $500 fine to be imposed for each illegal. You know how many prosecutions there have been under Desantis? If you guessed higher than 0 you've got it wrong. 

    Every spring, a whole lotta day laborers head off to the USA to do the summer high seasonal jobs Americans won’t do. Like clockwork they head home for the winter. Mexican families have been dong this for generations. They show up in the same towns their grandfather came to to pick fruit or do hard labor in construction. 
    Good people that work hard and are excellent neighbors. 
     

    Employers in the USA face a $9,000 fine if they fail to verify the identity of every staff by filing an I-9 form for every worker.

    Of course the undocumented workers can easily procure all sorts of ID and a social security number.
    According to Social Security, $13 billion per year is paid into the social security fund with zero chance these workers ever receive benefits.

    I agree this influx of illegals is not sustainable. The flow of illegals needs to be plugged before any legit discussion can happen. If the democrats were truly interested in stemming the flow across the border they wouldn't have fought so hard against a secure border aka a nice barrier.

     

    Right now we have zero honesty about the border situation coming out of the White House. Biden's press sec recently stated the illegals can't just walk across the border. And no one calls her on her lies.

    Unemployment at 50 year low. 
    11 million jobs listings.

    Belief in Qanon is in there with belief in vodoo, black magic, sorcery, etc.  It's disturbing that the Republican Party has degenerated to the point that a large number of its members believe this.  It's scary that a past and potentially future President is catering to this kind of primitive superstitious nonsense.

    Republicans can’t win without the weirdo demographic.

    Rather than be abused and called a raving ...ah yes I see you edited it hmm. From yesterday, here is an excellent summary of Biden's lies and corruption. Fully corroborated by witnesses involved. Just imagine if this was Trump. And just look at the lack of transparency and desire to investigate these dealings with nations the US is currently having difficulties with. I think we will need to wait until after the midterms to get the transparency you so desire.

  5. Texas is a sinking ship because it IS a <deleted>h0le state. I've been there. Wouldn't take a nice big house for free. If you are well traveled you will understand why Texas is feces. 

    The infrastructure is terrible. The weather, The food. The attitude.

    Homophobia, racism, xenophobia, misogyny, and religious bigotry are alive and well down there. Not to mention the women's rights thing. Lots of churches and shooting ranges though.

    Texas state “leaders” are theocratic overlords who have quashed every attempt by local government to improve the lives of it's residents.

    They are poorly educated who are proud of their willful ignorance, mock science and education. A majority I've encountered can't even do basic subtraction.

    75% of the intelligent folks ones encounters are transplants.

     

    Texas can’t educate their kids for 21st-century jobs because the "Talibanesque" Christian fanatic Educational Boards refuses to them teach real science and history.

    I guess you havent read the stats for internal migration in the US.  Florida and Texas are the two most popular states for people to migrate TO.  Strangely, the places that are being abandoned are.... California and New York. Wonder why.

    Silly. Right wing media likes to portray Ca. and its progressive polices as a failure...and many believe it apparently...

     

    Ca. attracts more investment capitol the the other 49 states combined.

    Ca. is the worlds 6th largest economy?

    Ca. pays 17% of the Federal taxes.

    10% of the Fortune 500 companies located there.

    Ca. has a $97 billion budget surpluss.

     

    Ca. is the most desirable place to live on the planet.  And therefore... it's very expensive. 

    The average home in California is over $860,000 .66% higher than national average......so some are moving to cheap states like Texas where housing is 6% lower than average.. 

    Texas is cheap because it's a <deleted>hoIe.

    The chart below show a steady rise in population with a 0.44% drop in population in 2021.

     

     

    Ca population:
    2011 37,703,593
    2012 38,055,785
    2013 38,342,642
    2014 38,644,802
    2015 38,913,507
    2016 39,127,855
    2017 39,328,926
    2018 39,476,064
    2019 39,529,566
