Texas taxpayers sure would appreciate it. This isn’t cheap for Texas. Y’all are just lucky we are becoming more stubborn about this issue as the feds push back.
I, for one, would approve of a temporary state sales tax increase of up to 0.5% to pay for this emergency spending. A 0.5% addition to the sales tax would add $3.5 billion to the state to deal with this border invasion.

I would, too. I’m not sure how popular it would be statewide, though, and it would need some very specific language defining “temporary” and end date.

I believe there's a way on the Texas state website for an individual to contribute to the cause. If I'm not mistaken, EKG has posted a link in the past in these threads.
