Dems are lucky border district voters, just voted Rep, rather than filling the Rio Grande with tea, and withholding their federal income tax payments. Most of America, has no idea what, mostly Hispanic, American border residents, have endured since Biden/Harris took office.

Our Neighbors, drained their savings and retirement accounts, to buy another home, 5 hours from their ancestral border ranch. Daily, groups of men, traipsed thru their property, leaving, literally, tons of trash. Cut fences, allowed cattle to wander. Entire ranch water systems, are broken for a single migrant drink. Fields are contaminated, when utilized as restrooms. Ranchers are going broke. Selling is unthinkable . Who would buy such a property, except the Cartels, who would then reside next to, your remaining friends and extended family?

Our neighbors endured the above, but finally had to leave, due to safety concerns. The kids could not play outside without armed guard. Driving anywhere, unarmed, was not possible, where car trouble can equal death. Large groups of men, would regularly walk thru K-12 school yards, during the middle of the school day, necessitating school lock downs. The father now endures multi 10 hour roundtrips a week. He traded time with his children, for their physical safety.

These are tax paying Americans, residing, in a quasi war zone, purposefully caused by Dems, for years. Imagine herds of unvetted, migrant men walking thru the playgrounds of Palo Alto and Georgetown, for years . How long would residents on Martha's Vineyard or Chicago's North shore, endure groups of strange men, banging on their front doors and children's bedroom windows, in the middle of the night, looking for food , water, and Lord knows, what else?

Election Day wasn't a warning. It was a Declaration of Independence. Hispanic Americans are done, playing 2nd class citizens, for a Dem Party, far more concerned with illegal border crossers, than Hispanic Border Americans. Dems are kidding themselves , if they think these voters are ever returning to the fold, if Trump stops the onslaught.

The real lesson is that policies matter over personalities. These Texas communities have been wreaked by the Biden-Harris immigration policies and, as middle-class Americans, prove that inflation respects no ethnicity. If Democrats expect to turn "Texas blue," they're going to need to get outside their Acela corridor bubbles and spend time with these folks, and adjust their policies and agendas accordingly. Bernie Sanders gets it better than anyone in the party.
