Texas border bills carry $1.5 billion plus price tag

Texas allocates $1.5 billion for border wall extension

Republicans in Austin allocate $1.5 billion in state tax dollars for an additional hundred miles of border wall, raising questions about the worthiness of the investment.

Houston - 1.5 billion - that's the number of your state tax dollars that the republican majority in Austin is moving to invest in more border wall - a hundred miles more - give or take.

As a reminder to both the panel and our viewers -our boundary with Mexico stretches more than 12 hundred miles.

With that in mind - I ask two simple questions - is this a worthy use of our public funds...and once constructed, will it significantly reduce the number of undocumented crossings?
