“NOBODY EXPECTS!”

As midnight nears, the lights of El Paso, Texas, and Ciudad Juárez, Mexico, fill the sky on the silent banks of the Rio Grande. A few months ago, hundreds of asylum-seeking families, including crying toddlers, waited for an opening to crawl through razor wire from Juarez into El Paso. 
No one is waiting there now. 
Nearly 500 miles away, in the border city of Eagle Pass, large groups of migrants that were once commonplace are rarely seen on the riverbanks these days. 
In McAllen, at the other end of the Texas border, two Border Patrol agents scan fields for five hours without encountering a single migrant. 
It’s a return to relative calm after an unprecedented surge of immigrants through the southern border in recent years. But no one would know that listening to Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump talking about border enforcement at dueling presidential campaign events. And no one would know from the rate at which Texas is spending on a border crackdown called Operation Lone Star — $11 billion since 2021.
"Amongst our weaponry are…!”

I know that kept me in the Midwestern hellholes I lived in for five years. That number keeps going up. (The real number is closer to 2000.) *Kamala laughs.* 😹 As someone noted: Does he realize how many of his employees in the White House don’t want him back in there again? Unlike Kamala, Trump answers the tough questions. And it’s a double super-secret plan to end the war! The lack of self-awareness obviously trickled down to Vance. He was the coffee boy. I never even met him!
