Texas has stopped providing new funding toward building a U.S.-Mexico border wall after lawmakers quietly approved a new budget that does not include funding for the project
Funny how no one talks about Mexico paying for a border wall anymore.
It’s almost like it was a giant sham to funnel money.
Because border crossings have flat lined.

OTOH, take a closer look at the dates. I no longer trust this source as it looks like they’ve been told to cut the numbers. OTOOH, crossings likely did drop when Trump took office. Fuck if I know.
No it’s fucking right. It’s just almost not at all related to the president.

Except Trump, ON BOTH FUCKING ENDS!!! The level of public cruelty to immigrants and the overall agenda has had an absolute chilling effect on everything from border crossing to international tourism. AND the initial surge was due to his policies.
At least the libertarians at the Cato Institute think so according to their reasearch.
