You know all those migrants entering your state, fleeing the shit happening back home? Follow their example, pack up and move somewhere else. Texas being shit is nothing new and that won't change.

Man, do you think I’d still be here if I had any choice? I’m broke as hell, and the situation in this state isn’t making it any better.

Those "illegal migrants" are broke as hell too. What's stopping you that is not stopping them? You likely have an education, a profession, heck even just citizenship and US "work experience" compared to them. And the ability to take on more credit and communicate in English. Buy the cheapest bus or plane ticket out of there and don't stop until you get north west or east.

Stop using immigrants' suffering as an excuse to do nothing about people's suffering in Texas. The correct response is not "just move", it is "how can I help you organize and stand up to your government."

I'd remind you that many of the people suffering and stuck in Texas are immigrats and their families.
