Good guy?

Yeah he’s nice guy. Seems to genuinely care about people.

I’ve seen enough…OPEN THE BORDERS NOW

calm down Francis. Even talarico isn’t advocating for that.

We just watched his party throw the door wide open for 4 years and despite what he’s saying in the 2026 campaign season, didn’t say shite about the disaster during 2021-2024.

We already know exactly what talarico intends to do.

But I’ve never seen him advocate for open borders.

Facts, logic, or evidence mean nothing to you, so this isn’t for your benefit, but so that you know you’re either a hypocrite or an idiot going forward, let’s look at his voting record:

https://www.dailysignal.com/2026/07/16/talarico-border-security-voting-record/

quote:

---

Talarico has served in the Texas House since 2018. During that time, he has frequently voted against border security measures, often along partisan lines.

---

quote:

---

During the 86th Legislative Session, Talarico voted against House Bill 888, which allows people who misrepresent a child as a family member to be arrested and charged with a Class B misdemeanor in any county throughout Texas.

---

quote:

---

In 2021, during the 87th Legislative Session, Talarico again voted against a border security bill, House Bill 9, that appropriates $1.8 billion for border security efforts. The bill devoted $750 million to constructing an additional border barrier and $450 million to increasing the number of Texas National Guard and other law enforcement personnel at the border.

---

quote:

---

He voted “no” on House Bill 7, which created a Texas Border Protection Unit and funded border security infrastructure.

He also voted against Senate Bill 602, which expanded Border Patrol’s authority to arrest individuals accused of committing state crimes, and Senate Bill 1403, which authorized interstate cooperation and assistance for defensive border infrastructure.

Talarico was recorded as absent for the vote on House Bill 6, which allocated funds for border barriers and increased penalties for human smuggling.

During the fourth called session of the 88th Legislative Session, Talarico continued his opposition to border security measures, voting against Senate Bill 3. The bill provided funding for the construction, operation, and maintenance of border barrier infrastructure and border security operations, including additional overtime expenses and costs associated with increased law enforcement presence.

---

quote:

---

Talarico also voted “no” on Senate Bill 4, a sweeping border security bill that made unauthorized entry into Texas from a foreign nation a state crime and allowed local police to arrest migrants

He voted against House Bill 4, which prohibits the illegal entry into, or illegal presence in, Texas by a person who is an alien, establishes enforcement provisions, and authorizes the removal of people who violated certain provisions instead of arrest. The bill also created criminal offenses.

---

quote:

---

In the most recent session, Talarico voted against Senate Bill 8, which allows local law enforcement to assist the federal government with deportation efforts. The bill required counties with a population of 100,000 or more to enter 287(g) agreements with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents, allowing local law enforcement to receive delegated authority to act as ICE agents in certain capacities.

---

That sure sounds like he approves of the Globalist agenda of rejecting any restraints to illegal immigration.

Further proof that Democrats are just stupid people.

Facts, logic, or evidence mean nothing to you, so this isn’t for your benefit, but so that you know you’re either a hypocrite or an idiot going forward, let’s look at his voting record:

---

I don’t follow how reps from Austin vote on state bills. Looks like he’s toting the party line. Still doesn’t change the fact that when I worked with him on our program he was a genuinely good person who cared about what we were doing and the kids we were helping.

Regardless, Kenny P is going to win. I’m sure you’ll be excited about him taking his grift to the national stage. I know I am.

quote:

---

I know a decent number of people who have worked with Talarico on education related stuff in Central Texas, and even though I can understand why he comes across as a little weird, the people I know who have worked with him have said he is one of the nicest people who seems like he genuinely cares about helping others.

---

The Devil will deceive you any way he can. The current Democratic party, Talarico included, do not care about, or support, The American Way.

He's against secure borders because all Globalists are.

Gloablists are all EVIL people

quote:

---

You just get butt hurt when people talk shite about Kenny. Are you in the kitchen remodeling business by chance? Also I’m not voting for Talarico. I’ll either sit that one out or vote for Hans or one of the other weirdo independents.

---

No, I’ve never met him and whether he’s a “good guy” isn’t in the top 10 reasons why I’d vote for him for senator at a time while support for communism is surging.

In fact, I’d prefer that he was a ruthless a-hole.

When illegals are placed in section 8 in your neighborhood, the tranny flag is flying at your kids’ school, and your taxes go up to fund a massive increase in social programs, you can feel great about having not voted against these things because the character of the individual on the ballot.

I’ve met both. One is a nice guy who supports things I don’t. The other is a piece of shite who supports some things I do but also is a crook. It’s a shitty time to be a Texan, that’s for sure.

If one senator can cause that then I’m pretty sure we’re already fricked.

do you know how the senate works?

Also, you've basically classified talarico’s platform as “fricked”. But, hey…Paxton is a “crook”.
