So anyway, back to the point, in what form or fashion is this largess that you say has been flowing to ruby red Texas?

The funds that were going to be in the Senate border bill. That the GOP killed.

As you say, there haven't been money flows heading down to Texas to deal with this. Congress hasn't appropriated any money for it. Similarly, that's why Eric Adams and other mayors in blue cities are so angry with Biden - because money hasn't been flowing to those cities, either, because Congress hasn't appropriated any money to deal with the impacts of these migrants.

So the bill included money for dealing with the impacts of these migrants. Because a large number of them are now in blue cities, not just the red cities along the border, that means that some of that money would go to blue cities also. But now that the bill has been killed, none of the cities are going to get any new funding, since Congress won't be appropriating any.

BTW, I've enjoyed this conversation - but I have to go AFK for the evening. Hope everyone has a pleasant night - and watch those NY-03 returns!
