What a silly analogy.

1. It's obvious that your average person neither has the space nor the resources to care for 50 cats, while cities like New York or Washington should have the size and strength to shoulder the same burden that they expect much smaller Texan border towns to shoulder.

2. Taking in stray animals is a largely non-political issue while immigration policy has huge political, social and economic ramifications. The concerted and public pushback against Trump's hawkish policies by the DNC, Democratic cities and Democrat-aligned media back in 2017-2018 was intended to undermine his immigration agenda, and it did. They knew full well what they were doing, they just expected the border states to take care of the fallout. Comparing mayors of the largest cities in the country holding a press conference and threatening to refuse to cooperate with ICE agents who have the "audacity" to enforce applicable law was almost unprecedented and cannot be compared to a random cat lady posting on facebook.

3. Democratic messaging on the issue, for example rallying cries like "refugees welcome", "no person is illegal" or "abolish ICE", signalled to the world that immigrants would be welcomed without upper limit and without regard for the legal status if/when Democrats are in charge. Therefore, their messaging has exacerbated the problem. By contrast, a virtue signalling facebook post will not have a measurable impact on the number of pets which are abandoned by their owners.

They do but the numbers are way lopsided.

Texas is like a fire hydrant on full blast while the other 2 states it's a tiny trickle in comparison. Texas should increase the bussing, it's only fair that non-border states share the burden.

I have a 7 foot privacy fence and I still get stray cats shitting in my yard.

No, zero immigrants.
Everyone of those are ILLEGAL INVADERS and should be treated as such.

Add armed guards.
Was ez.

I agree. It’s a huge problem here in Texas.

Texas could absolutely handle this situation and shut down the border on its own if the courts and the federal government allowed them to. The Biden admin has created a gigantic mess at the southern border, Texas and Arizona have been pointing this out and asking for help for 1.5 years; the Biden admin has refused to do anything to alleviate the situation for 1.5 years, but at the same time, Texas isn't allowed to send illegals back to Mexico or enforce border security with its own troops.

The Biden admin are the only ones who have the legal power to close the border or at least reduce the inflow, but ostentatiously refuse to do that, all while expecting the red states along the border to shoulder the bulk of the burden, to basically "put up and shut up".

Just build watch towers, have barbed wire fence all around, a mounted minigun on the roof and if the budget allows it, a helipad for the apache chopper.

I would volunteer today.
Where do I sign up?

Me too! I think of the old videos where NFL prospects would demonstrate their skills and at the end they would say something catchy and finish it with pick me. So pick me.
