Governor Abbott: I’ll build a southern border wall in Texas HotAir

By Thomas A. Smith

I had imagined a big, beautiful wall along whose ramparts would march soldiers dressed in Colonial era uniforms. Perhaps special firearms could have been designed that looked like old time muskets but were in fact like M-4’s. But as a second choice, I could imagine Texas Rangers, garbed in Western gear, sporting Colt Peacemakers and Henry rifles. Think Game of Thrones meets Lonesome Dove. This could work. Federalism in action.
