… like my mother-in-law who is 89. She was over with another relative who is about the same age and they were in the other room talking. The rest of us could hear them and and the stories they told were nowhere near reality. They were completely made up, I mean really crazy stuff.

Someone who works at the facility she lives in has long theorized that old people dream and when they wake up they either don’t realize they woken up or don’t realize they were dreaming when they were sleeping but what they dreamed becomes reality.

What’s the point? I saw a video yesterday of Pudd’nhead saying as vice president he was able to give his uncle his purple heart for being injured in the battle of the bulge. The problem is, Pudd’nhead’s uncle died in 1999 but Pudd’nhead wasn’t VP until 2008.

Now on one hand you could say Pudd’nhead is just an old guy dreaming and can’t tell reality from his dreams. But Pudd’nhead has a long history of lying which is why he had to drop out of his other presidential race when he was a relatively young man.

I read this morning the Mayor of El Paso  has declared the city unsafe. I had to travel quite a bit Del Paso for work and always enjoyed it. There are thousands and thousands of illegals waiting to stream across the border as soon as this title 42 expires because Pudd’nhead said so.

Sure, you could blame a corrupt piece of garbage like Pudd’nhead all you want and there’s a lot to that, but I also blame the governor of Texas, Abbott. I would send every national guardsmen I have to the border. Make a line and no one crosses it. No one.

I don’t understand why he doesn’t.

“Unsafe” is the very definition of the appropriate reason.

"How does, STOPPING, people from crossing, turn into; 'shoot and kill' ?"

 He's free to correct my assessment anytime he wants.  However based off his response, it's either not important, or I am correct.


"Make a line and no one crosses it. No one."

 If this means physical restraint Abbott will need much more than the TNG.  So there's the answer.

Oh, and I wouldn’t shoot the ones crossing. I’d declare war on the cartels and start dropping smart bombs from drones on cartel homes. I’ll bet we have chemical bombs to drop on plants to destroy fields. Remember how we nabbed Noriega, The Big Pineapple? We start doing the same to cartel members and drip the off in Guantánamo.

 Yeah Abbott can't authorize that.  He can declare an emergency and the TNG can assist in mitigating that on US soil.  Anything further requires more politics.


What’s the economic benefit from money sent back to relatives living in Mexico?

 My understanding is there are two part to this.  Availability of sustainable work, and the exchange rate.  A month of work in the US is worth multiple months in Mexico due to the exchange rate.

"They don’t so I have to believe either it benefits them greatly or they understand  they have little control over the criminal element in their country. Both are possibilities."

 I think both is what is going on.

 I would have thought that was evident by the lack of immigrants in TX and AZ alone.  They have to be sent somewhere right?

The surprise I think is the extensive network of organizations involved in this using federal money.
