Shelby Park in Eagle Pass is absolutely a movie set Very well put. This is all political theater to prop up the border security industrial complex, which has made a few people very rich at the expense of taxpayers who just want modern immigration law.
We did have a stab at reforming immigration law in February or March 2024 - it wasn't perfect but it was at least an attempt - but Donald Trump scuttled it because he needed to use immigration as a political crutch for his candidacy.
Operation Lone Star is very useful to some in this state, especially border counties like mine - Kinney County - because it's made them a ton of money. I've lost track but as of last year my county made about $3 million. Yet it hasn't stopped immigration.
The OLS model would fit perfectly in the Trump Administration MO because it's showy and chaotic and makes it look like they're really accomplishing something.
But the show is just fiction, just like The Apprentice. Trouble is, people's lives are really at stake here.
The only immigrant we need to be afraid of is Elon Musk of South Africa, who is staging a coup of America with the blessing of Donald Trump.
I am watching a video of the Kinney County Commissioners Court meeting from Jan. 13 and came across some interesting information on OLS money.
At about 13:00 an official tells commissioners about grant deadlines and money totals and then at 20:00 she mentions that Kinney County has been awarded $12.5 million from OLS since 2021. The county hasn't spent that much but that's what has been awarded, she said.
I'd have to ask for documentation to understand the numbers but still. I had no idea.
I’ve seen some TV and some reporting that I now know were pure propaganda!
There were a couple of counties that disagreed with the ghe reports.
I’m in Florida and I’ve read thjngs that are untrue saying how they need to increase attention due to criminal activity related to the southern border!

Good interview. Thank you, Melissa and Bob.
Thank you for your very clear eyed assessment, Carolea. And so true about Musk. Thanks for listening!
