"Operation Lone Star" was specifically created to fill the holes left by the Biden Administration. But now that President Trump is back in office and on the job of thwarting this "invasion," we still need $6.5 billion? What could we do with all that money? Teacher pay raise? Raise the per-pupil allotment? Expand Medicaid? Rural health care?
Lone Star was never about protecting the border. It was about giving Abbott et al. photo opportunities as cosplay tough guys.
Thanks for a very informative and well written article. I agree with you. Have you given any thought to running for public office as you are committed to the common good and explain the issues very well?
No, buy I can look into it. I may have posted about one or two particular companies, but not all the money. And if it’s going through the Governor’s office, they’ll be no public accounting.

Exactly.

You aren't the first person to ask. I have too many little ones right now, but maybe when they're older.
Didn’t you do a breakdown on how those billions were spent last time? By amount and contractor.
I’d want to see what contractors repeatedly get funded and their political ties. Probably uncompetitive bids, and low, no oversight.
