This was all political theater by former governor Rick Perry. Those same state troopers were prohibited from inquiring about immigration status or detaining obvious illegal aliens once they get past the border. Still prohibited at this moment, despite a new law that is supposed to take effect this September.

Only now, in 2017, do we have a law requiring those DPS troopers and other LEO's to ask about status and detain illegal aliens stopped in the interior of the state, and that will definitely be litigated in court, so I doubt that it will actually take effect next month.

And it was Trump that made that possible, not years and years of open border, red state leadership. The best analogy for Trump I see is future John Connor, from the Terminator franchise.

But there was one man who taught us to fight, to storm the wire of the P.C. camps, to smash those globalist mother@#$%ers in the junk. He turned it around. He brought us back from the brink. His name is Trump. Donald Trump.

We have been, and are being invaded by an irregular army.

The US shoreline of the Rio Grande ought to be a kill zone for anyone crossing from Mexico. And if Mexico is really serious about stopping the flow of cartel guns and money into their country (they aren't), they should do the same thing on the South side.

Texas highways look different than they did when I lived there. So do the police cars.

It would be a great day if this were to happen.

They apparently have more than one as well. One of those is powered by Mercury, and the other sports Yamaha power.
