There's Something Going On -- April 4, 2019, T+92, Part 8

... and I think it can be traced all the way back to Venezuela....

From Drudge today, ... and not a thing from the man who should know best how to manage this, Beto O'Rourke -- after all, this is happening in his home town ... things starting to implode?


Flashback (no link): after Trump became president and started talking about the "wall, "Texas landowners along the Mexican border were ambivalent. Likewise, Texas came within one or two points of electing an open-borders advocate to be one of two US senators for the state.
That told me all I needed to know. 

Except for conservative talk radio here in north Texas no one seems to be impressed with the surge.

The "surge," of course, for Texas is a temporary problem. Most of the new folks will:
  • blend into and become part of the existing and successful Hispanic communities throughout south Texas, north to San Antonio
  • the rest will take the "underground railroad" to New York, Minnesota, and Iowa
This will be fascinating to watch.

At the end of the day, there will be a huge (positive) financial impact on the state as federal and state funds are released to assist the refugees. I'm waiting for the New Yorker to write an article comparing the great immigration waves coming to America over the last two centuries. At the end of the day, does it matter whether they came through Ellis Island legally or through El Paso illegally?
