I would be surprised if they actually went to Texas. They say cities in red states, but strangely they seem to never go. Hmm…

They want to do this in Democratic areas to hopefully ultimately reduce the number of voters.

Edit: I am no longer surprised :(

They’re here, in Houston at least. Red state but the big cities are blue. The people in Houston have no love for this shit.

ICE Houston makes over 1,500 arrests during 10-day operation

U.S.-born Houston teen says ICE agents beat him and his father during early-morning stop

And just 1 example showing how we really feel about it:

Thank you very much, I appreciate the correction!

I haven’t been paying as close attention to the rest of the country because of the unending horror.

Yes I believe they're coordinating with Abbott. Basically, "We don't want to hurt you, Greg, but there are tons of brown people in your state who aren't self-deporting. Where are your political enemies concentrated?".

Abbott hates Houston…he loves that this is happening. No coercion needed, trust me. He’s just as evil as Trump, Miller, etc.

Every election he tried to put in new measures to make it more difficult to vote in the more populated counties because he knows it’s only a matter of time before the folks in the cities boot him and his asshole friends.

There's no voters to reduce unless they remove citizens. Illegal immigrants cannot vote, but they are included in census data

That’s correct, but there are legal avenues for people to get citizenship and therefore to be able to ultimately vote.

Throw them out early, they don’t even have that option.
