Here’s the deal we’re all supposed to have with our local government. We hand over our tax dollars, and they handle the basics: good roads, safe streets, decent schools. A straightforward arrangement, right? It’s a foundational piece of the American system, built on a simple premise of trust and responsibility.
But that trust is fragile. It crumbles the moment radical officials decide our money isn’t for serving the public, but for bankrolling their pet political causes. Suddenly, the covenant is broken. And what’s happening in Texas’s largest county is a masterclass in this kind of cynical betrayal—a jaw-dropping example of politicians using your money to fight against your values.
From ‘The Daily Wire’:
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is suing the state’s largest county for allegedly spending $1.3 million in taxpayer funding to help illegal immigrants fight deportation.
In October, the Harris County Commissioners Court allocated the money to “radical leftist organizations” BakerRipley, the Galveston-Houston Immigrant Representation Project, Justice for All Immigrants, KIND, Inc., and the Refugee and Immigrant Center for Education and Legal Services to provide “direct legal representation to immigrants in detention or facing the threat of deportation,” according to Paxton’s office.
This isn’t just a budget line item. This is an open, calculated act of rebellion against the American people and the rule of law. Harris County is weaponizing public funds to actively sabotage federal immigration enforcement and defy the Trump Administration’s mission to secure our border.
A Brazen Betrayal of Taxpayers
Get a load of this number: $1.3 million. That’s not chump change. Think about the good that money could do for the actual citizens of Harris County. It could have meant new equipment for law enforcement, critical support for homeless veterans, or maybe just filling some of the potholes that plague every American city.
Instead, the county’s progressive-controlled court laundered it to activist groups whose entire purpose is to find loopholes for illegal aliens. Attorney General Ken Paxton hit the nail on the head: they are “robbing Texans to prevent illegals from being deported.” It’s an astonishing abuse of power that declares war on the very people who fund the government.
Open Defiance of American Law
The official excuse for this scheme is even more infuriating. Their defense? “Due process.” Please. Harris County Attorney Christian Menefee actually tried to sell this as ensuring everyone “in our communities” gets a fair shake. It’s the kind of slick, dishonest wordplay the Left adores.
Let’s get something straight. The “due process” for someone who breaks into our country is a deportation hearing. By funding an army of lawyers to jam up that system, Harris County isn’t promoting justice; it’s manufacturing chaos. And Menefee’s claim that he’s “standing up for Texans” is a farce. Apparently, his definition of a “Texan” is anyone who manages to stumble across the border. It’s an open attempt to erase the meaning of citizenship.
Putting Americans Last
Let’s not overcomplicate this. This is about who comes first. The officials in Harris County have made their choice, and it wasn’t you. Their warped moral compass points toward illegal immigrants, while the law-abiding citizens who pay their salaries are left behind.
This is the end game of the progressive ideology: a nation without borders, where American citizenship is treated as an inconvenience. They are using your money to give a leg up to non-citizens that they would never dream of offering to you. It’s a profound insult, driven by a deep-seated contempt for the very idea of a sovereign America.
This battle in Texas is more than just a local news story. It’s a warning flare. The cancer of leftist activism isn’t just in Washington. It has metastasized into our city halls and county commissions. We have to wake up, pay attention, and support patriots like Ken Paxton who are willing to fight this infection before it consumes us all.
