    Also, this is political theatre. Texas border cities and Texas in general are used to migrants, to the point that they’re just a natural part of the local culture. Republicans whinge about the border, but most people affected by it are like, “WTF are you on about?”

      Also, Mexican food is incredible. One of the most visible benefits of multiculturalism. I can’t even imagine growing up in an America that only ever had English food. Boring.

        In literally every rural town I’ve been in, there’s a Mexican restaurant, and it’s always the town favorite. Celebrating a birthday? You’re getting some fajitas.

        If you ever find yourself hungry and trapped in the boonies, the Mexican restaurant is usually a safe bet.
