27. So they don't need Customs and Border Patrol?

Then why have the feds doing it. Let the Texans take it over.

All of it. Including the expense of it. But we won't do that, because the cratering of the Texas economy from the loss of that sweet, sweet federal cash would bring down the rest of the country, too.

On the other hand, a gradual, but emphatic, withdrawal of federal border funds would still send a message: You don't need us handling migrants? Good. We have better ways to spend this bit of federal money...And, oh, this bit, too... And now this, this and this...

And--what's that? You want your funding back? But we're giving you what you wanted, which was securing the border yourselves. Why do you want our help now, when you said you could do it so much better than we could?

So show us all how it's done. We eagerly await the results. Just don't expect us to provide the lion's share of the funding for it if you want the lion's share of the control.
