“Texas has decreased illegal crossings into the state by 85% thanks to our historic border mission,” the spokesman, Andrew Maheris, said. “Fewer illegal crossings into Texas means there are fewer buses departing for sanctuary cities
In Texas, Republicans suck at basic government

His orange floaty balls are working!
It was announced today that Texas has removed 1 million people from the voter rolls.
Including "6500 non citizens," says Greg Abbott.

I wonder how many US natives and naturalized citizens got their registration cancelled this time. Texas just nixed ~5.5% of Texas voters.
Last time around in 2019, Texas's tally of noncitizens was .08% accurate.
80 out of 98,000 targeted cancelations.
maybe they went by surname.
check yr voter registration

$12 billion and 17 National Guard deaths for a border mission with no military value. Pure electoral stunt.
At least 17 Guardsmen have died while on Texas border mission (armytimes.com)At least 17 Texas Guardsmen have died while deployed during the contentious mission to secure the southern border in the past three years, a Texas military official told state lawmakers earlier this month.
Not one Abbot will respond to this financial and life cost.
costly and deadly, but it's also virtue signalling to a feral base -- they like that .
They don't suck at it, it's working exactly as designed to keep people from getting ID to vote.
In principle, government can be better or worse. Settling for worse is a political choice, but yeah: the purpose of a system is what it does.
They don't need the id to vote
Old Mexico, New Mexico, is there a difference???? Apparently, not.
In an effort to prevent migrant crossings from the southern border, Texas installed a razor wire along its border with New Mexico, not Mexico — upsetting the southwestern state’s governor.
Texas Governor Greg Abbott announced on September 14 that his state would be “TRIPLING our razor wire border barriers to deny illegal entry into our state and our country.” However, rather than installing the razor wire along the Rio Grande river bank that faces Mexico, KTSM on Tuesday captured footage of Texas Army National Guard troops installing it along a bank that faces New Mexico.
bad decisions that made health care worse for hundreds of thousands of Texans. ideological pigheadedness has a human cost.
https://www.propublica.org/article/t...g-consequencesThe sudden suspension of health insurance for a population the size of New Mexico has had additional ramifications in Texas, including higher treatment costs for hospitals and clinics forced to take on more uninsured patients.
Texas Children’s Hospital in Houston, the largest pediatric hospital in the country, laid off employees this year after significant budget shortfalls. A hospital spokesperson declined to comment, but, in a recent financial filing, the hospital attributed some of the challenges to losing Medicaid patients during the state’s unwinding process.
Across the state, some safety net clinics reported a 30% decrease in Medicaid revenue due to the unwinding, said Jana Eubank, who heads the Texas Association of Community Health Centers. She said the extra costs added to challenges for the already financially strapped facilities.
“Some centers are having to lay off staff. Some centers are furloughing staff,” Eubank said. “I’ve got a couple of CEOs that aren’t taking a salary right now. I’ve had centers that are unfortunately having to cut back certain services or extended hours, like behavioral health services, dental services, just because they can’t afford to continue to offer that care.”
Separately, some families that were pushed off Medicaid are also waiting more than a month for food assistance because Texas uses the same eligibility system to process applications for both.
San Antonio Food Bank CEO Eric Cooper said the nonprofit was crushed by demand this summer when families faced sudden medical bills, kids were out of school and the state had a backlog of more than 277,000 food stamp applications. The situation worsened when Texas declined to participate in a federal nutrition program, turning down an estimated $450 million that could have helped feed nearly 3.8 million poor children during the summer.
To be honest, plunging poor families into misery is probably a selling point for Texas Republicans.
Intentional cruelty to social lessers is GOP bona fides and "tuffness."
pro-life policies and politicians are dangerous to mothers

District judge thought so too.
Not that it matters, but so does Eugene Volokh.
