"State Reps. Kyle Biedermann and Briscoe Cain intend to introduce legislation soon that would fund $2.5 billion of wall construction along the Texas border with Mexico, appropriating it from the economic stabilization fund for the state fiscal year ending August 31, 2019."

quote:

Preference for the contracts and awarding of bids, Biedermann added, “for all phases of construction” would be given to Texans and Texas-owned entities.

I support a wall, but..

Those state reps are a couple of grandstanding assholes.

When you consider the endowments to the athletic foundations for programs like U.T. and A&M, this would be Trump change !

They have my unqualified support, as long as they build the wall around the entire state.

Of course you know this legislation will never go anywhere, right?

Because first it would have to get past the new speaker of the house. And then it would have to get at least 19 votes to bring it to a vote in the Senate. Oh wait, what's that? Our Lt. governor went all potato and alienated one of the 19 republicans in the Senate. So he either has to kiss Seliger's arse or get a Democrat to vote to bring it to the floor. Damn. that was a really stupid move, Danny.

This proposed legislation will likely not even get out of committee. Certainly will not pass.

Pure political posturing and reactionary virtue signalling.
