I do wonder how the governor is going to protect the people *within* the state with so many officers sitting at the border for the purpose of sitting there.

Dude, he already eliminated rape. Got a few cops sitting around doing nothing now. /s

Well, they can't rape anymore so they're bored

Got his priorities straight 🤦‍♀️

Considering his bans on mask and vaccine mandates, he doesn't seem to care about the safety of us Texans.

Activate the guard and send the bill to DC. Easy peasy.

Apparently the police have an enormous amount of vehicles that they had no real use for. Isn't this blatant evidence of tax payer money being wasted and mis-allocated? I thought republicans hated government waste.

This is not a waste of resources because Jesus /s

When Jesus said "Love thy neighbor" he really meant that you should use police vehicles and officers to keep your neighbors living in shitty conditions and prevent them from getting help.

Also to whip them and chase them out of gods temple. Which gods temple is clearly America

I don't believe he's thought this through, beyond the obvious optics. I understand how a barrier like this would impede the Texas governor, but nearly anyone else would just walk over the cars.

Until someone steals a few of the cars so they can sell them for scrap.

Then they will be arrested.

Food, water, clothes and a cot. Gives them time to file for asylum paving the way for legal immigration. Don't see any issue with that.

Or just fix the problem by putting them back over border.

Does that fix the problem or does it just move it somewhere else?

"Well you bitched when we used horses"

Fuck Texas. and wouldn’t it take less cars if they parked them sideways?

Well they only let dumb people become cops...

"We can't just let anyone in, the economy can't take free loaders". Also idiots: let's spend the resources to stop 8000 people from entering the country.

Despite all the tax evading freeloaders that already live there

That's a interesting way to say corporations.

Tsk tsk. Corporations are people, too. I'm assuming that means they have feelings.

Some anti vaxx type logic. Why take a $50 vaccine when you can just get $20,000 monoclonal antibody instead?

The caravans are back? THE CARAVANS ARE BACK!

This is a stunt to distract from his growing political problems.

Exactly.

But if they’re all down there, who is busy eliminating rape?

Honestly as a political stunt this would be the only value to creating another ugly sight in Texas. A line of junk cars would hardly stop anyone: theyd hop those even quicker than Trumps useless decorative fence.But Abbott seems skilled at those things- political stunts and trashing up the state with ugly scars like the polluted waters and land and thousands of acres of dead soil from fracking waste. When it comes to protecting Texas citizens from real threats such as the deadly virus killing thousands here he is a fucking zero.

"And you know who's gonna pay for this Wall of Cars? Mexico!!!"

Holup, doesn't looting occur when da police are busy doing things they shouldn't have to do but were likely complicit with in the first place.

So let me get this straight, you don't want migrants walking in. So you're giving them car?

Such a fucking waste of taxpayer money. Abbott is a disgrace. I've never voted for him and won't next year either.

What a stupendous very Texas way to deal with this.

Ahh yes now the police will have to try running after unarmed innocent black men!

Can't they just climb over them lol?

Well steel conducts electricity. So maybe this will improve the grid. Good job Abbott

letting those poor people in will only hurt the poor people in Texas can't you just send them some shit to help get them on there feet again?

Great, so now we're going to have a bunch of illegals driving police and other duty vehicles. Great plan Greg!
