    Members of the Texas legislature introduced legislation that would earmark $40 million in state funds to support Department of Public Safety border security operations as well as operations in Colony Ridge, a massive land development that has become a magnet for illegal immigrants.

    The news came after Governor Greg Abbott called for a fourth special legislative session, the second that highlighted Colony Ridge by name in the aftermath of investigations from The Daily Wire that found the rapidly expanding development has become a hotbed for crime, and that authorities are overwhelmed by the growing population.

    Abbott is specifically calling for legislation that will provide "additional funding for the Department of Public Safety for border security operations, including additional overtime expenses and costs due to an increased law enforcement presence to preserve public safety and security in the Colony Ridge development."

    Texas State Senator Joan Huffman and State Representative Jacey Jetton announced pieces of matching legislation that would provide $40 million to DPS for "border security operations and to ensure public safety and security in the Colony Ridge development." The bill states that the sum would be dedicated to "additional overtime expenses and costs due to an increased law enforcement presence" in the development. The legislation would also "provide an additional $1.5 billion in funding for border security operations and the construction of a border wall."

    Governor Abbott directed DPS to place agents in and around Colony Ridge following reporting from The Daily Wire that highlighted the development's blatant marketing appeals to noncitizens and the Colony Ridge developer's massive donations to the governor.

    But the legislation does not address many of the concerns detailed in a letter from 25 U.S. Congressmen, the entirety of the Republican delegation from Texas, nor the concerns of Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, who enumerated his stance in a letter of his own.

    The Congressional letter honed in on the development's business model, explaining that Colony Ridge "markets owner-financed loans with no credit checks or proof of legal residency, making the location an optimal haven for illegal immigrants amid a historic border crisis."

    "This form of real estate development and financing has created an attractive opportunity for noncitizens to cross the border and settle in Texas," Paxton similarly charged. "The development appears to be attracting and enabling illegal alien settlement in the state of Texas and distressing neighboring cities and school districts."

Should the Institutionalized Corruption of the Biden /Harris Administration, in this separate instance the Open Border Policy of our Sovereign Southern Border, be not only tolerated, but sanctioned by the raising of local spending by local politicians to pay for these now visible and known effects of rampant, and out-of-control Illegal Immigration?
  Yes, it is a kind thing to do, and a way that our county, our state can aid in this tremendous effort toward local federal foreign aid; and now, thankfully, in great abundance.
  No, our Constitutional Republic WILL NOT continue to exist, as our United States of America, if we do not control our sovereign borders, to protect our citizens, to keep them solvent and safe.
  I only consider what is topical and popular since my friends, too, only care to do the same.

The previous poll on Eastern NC NOW showcased what are many of OUR Constitutional Republic's certain obstacles to remain viable, where the top encumbrance to that continuance as a functioning Republic was the Biden /Harris Wide Open Southern Border. Understanding this overwhelming concern to real America citizens: Do you believe it important to challenge the veracity of those legislated concerns of Democratic Socialists by transporting Illegal Migrants to their Sanctuary cities, counties and states for their direct care?
  Yes; test the depth of their "compassion" by giving Democratic Socialists an opportunity to enact all Sanctuary provisions in their communities to test how much they truly do care.
  No; the Biden /Harris Wide Open Southern Border Project is designed to only inundate "Red States" to begin their Demographic Upheaval for the benefit of we Democratic Socialists, our politics.
  I generally do NOT care about politics, but it is fun watching abject hypocrites squirm; maybe I will start getting more involved.
