This area is reportedly home to tens of thousands of illegal migrants, and rampant drug smuggling. Many homes are not built to code, and have no access to running water, electricity, or sewage. The entire area is basically a favela at this point. It needs to be shut down. No modern country should permit this.
What are you basing these claims on? Do you have a credible source to share?
Geez, these immigrants are a problem because the government failed to bring basic services to the area. Got it, that makes sense.
These are rumors; but they are also responsible for the rain that is now falling and also any wildfire. And they are also taking ourrrrjjooovbsssss
The whole community is 40k people. If there's really 10s of thousands of illegal migrants as you claim (over 50% of the population) I'm sure it will get raided soon.
And if there's really no water, electricity, etc, and there are children living there especially, the humane thing to do is help them.
Don't you agree?
Surely the state of Texas should insure people have those things, in their homes, right?
Sounds like this whole community is built by one developer, so I imagine they are built to code and have basic utilities. Unless you have something that indicates otherwise?
Ok, so shut it down. And for those people who are Americans, kick them out of their homes with no compensation. Make them homeless. Put their family on the street.
No?
