Texas Begins Construction On Northern Border Wall To Keep Democrat Lawmakers From Returning

TEXHOMA, TX — Democratic lawmakers who fled the state to disrupt a vote on a new congressional redistricting map could soon find themselves out of a job, as Governor Greg Abbott announced the construction of a giant northern border wall designed to keep them out permanently.
Abbott issued a statement declaring that while any Democrat who did not show up to vote on the new redistricting map was vacating their seat, he would also be building a wall to prevent them from re-entering the state.
"You all can just stay up there in Oklahoma," Abbott said. "I just wanted them to come back and get to work, but then I realized them leaving was the best thing they could have ever done. We realized we can just build this wall to keep them out."
Since the politicians in question are U.S. citizens, Abbott cannot legally keep them out of the state, but he can make things difficult. That's why he authorized the reallocation of some of the materials used to construct the wall along the state's southern border to be used along its border with Oklahoma. Democrats will now be forced to enter through designated checkpoints that slow their progress.
"We may choose to allow them to come back, but they must do so legally," said Abbott. "Any of them found on our side of the wall will be swiftly deported back to Oklahoma."
At publishing time, some of the exiled Democratic Party lawmakers were reportedly hiring black-market coyotes to lead them across the northern border of Texas.

Great. That would be about the level of brain power I’d expect from him. Go right ahead and think that they’re in Oklahoma.
Out of curiosity, are California Republicans capable of doing the same thing?...
Except that unlike Texas, there aren't enough MAGA in California to do jack shit. Whereas, Texas is now becoming a purple state. Thus MAGA are getting desperate. Don't complain when the tables turn. I knew Lloyd Benson. Lloyd Benson was a fine gentleman, a great Texan, a fantastic US Senator and SURPRISE a Democrat. Ted Cruz is no Lloyd Benson...
They won’t have to. California isn’t doing what Texas is doing. We don’t even do districting the same way. We have an independent commission.
What has been suggested is a referendum on a new districting plan that the people would vote on. But it would have to override the state constitution, which I believe requires a 2/3 vote.
So, no? If they just ran away it has no bearing?
If you say so JBB....
It’s not a matter for the legislature.
You're evading...
It's a simple question.
I have answered your question twice. Maybe you should restate it more clearly if you think you’re not getting the answer you’re looking for.
Sure... thanks
Democrats: Abortion Barbie will win! Texas is a purple state! Beato will turn Texas from purple to blue!
Reality: Trump in 2024 outperformed Trump in 2016 by three points. Texas is turning more red.
