Strange that Texas, which wants a large population of people deported, would also be the first to choose to "open it's doors" and say "bring them all here"
They offer land freely in their backyard to build what essentially could turn into the equivalent of a slum or ghetto.
I would imagine more like concentration camps.
When the paperwork, effort and/or cost gets too much they'll just start killing them.
Its Texas. They just have to leave it open during the winter. Or the fall. Or the summer. Or probably the spring in a year or two.
Climate change and the inevitable week long power outages because of a self "managed" grid is more than enough to cause mass deaths.
McAllen is only 65mi from the ocean; a hurricane would be horrific. It's not like Texas gets hit by hurricanes a lot, right? Right?
Correct, and keep cashing the federal checks for "border security" Trump will arrange with them.
I can't imagin a neighbouring country accepting a large influx of people quickly or willingly. So Texas may find themselves "looking after" the people they send here for a long time.
I may be wrong on the process, but in Germany i believe it started with a community or neighbourhood being walled off. Think of a suburb or maybe a few large city blocks. People had to come and go through checkpoints and some were not allowed to leave.
After which these walled communities became slums or ghettos. Then the Nazis began to ship peoples from these walled communities out to Poland and neighbouring countries (that they invaded) into concentration camps.
History always repeats itself unfortunately.
They need a camp where they can concentrate on helping them!
Private prison gets built there $$$
its right next to the border where texas will happily toss them in the river, or force them to the other side. 'problem solved'.
