I honestly don't understand Texas's obsession with horse cops. Well, aside from the obvious intimidation tactics and cowboy aesthetic. We've got a bunch in the city and (like a lot of police equipment) they seem unnecessary. CBP at least has some kind of justification for terrain mobility but like...come on. We're talking about migrants and refugees here, this is a textbook problem policing is not a solution to even without being on a horse.

Also a day later and I'm still not over that Tulsi post where she's complaining that human rights violations are happening because the border isn't restrictive enough. This is ultimate contrarian centrist brain. Even better - this is just the standard conservative talking point now as Abbott is getting in on the fun too:

Gov. Greg Abbott placed the blame for the influx of migrants camped under a bridge in Del Rio, Texas, squarely on the Biden administration Tuesday.
...
"Because the Biden administration is doing nothing to secure our border, it has been the state of Texas that has had to step up and address this challenge," Abbott said during a visit to the border city.
...
Abbott said the "open border" policy of the Biden administration has encouraged people to come to Del Rio. He had a clear warning for those considering traveling to the border. "If you think about crossing this river in Texas you might end up with handcuffs, going straight to jail," he said.

Abbott called for ports of entry in Texas to be shut last Thursday. The next day, U.S. Customs and Border Protection closed the Del Rio port of entry to trade and travel. He has also called on the Biden administration to make federal emergency declaration for the state of Texas because of the situation on the border.

Just an unreal grift from everyone involved with this.
