Eagle Pass, Texas, a border town of 57,000, is being overrun, but, according to locals, it's not by migrants from Mexico or Venezuela creating the problem.

What's overrunning, crushing the town, congesting its downtown streets, occupying every hotel room within 50 miles and frustrating and annoying the citizens, are politicians, media and military responding to the battlecry of Texas Governor Greg Abbott.

Words like "chaos"and "invasion" are being used by residents to describe their frustration with the overcrowding in their city.

At one point 13 other red state governors were in the Eagle Pass for their own personal witnessing of the "border crisis" along with National Guard troops from Idaho, Arkansas, Florida and Tennessee and flag-carrying MAGA folk.  Media with cameras and microphones roamed the town and room rates at local hotels ballooned to $370 per night and up.

Barbed wire was placed in the Rio Grande while fencing and other wire "protected" the city, but it was primarily a political stunt staged by Texas Governor Greg Abbott, a fervent Trumpite.

Hell, even if Abbott's claim of "100 miles of barbed wire" is not an exaggeration, how does that protect 1,954 miles of U.S./Mexico border?

"We asked them not to put up the wire," said one woman, an owner of a pecan orchard, "but they did it anyway."

"It's not the Mexican migrants we're worried about, but all these convoys of guardsman," said another.

"Please don't come to Eagle Pass," said one man being interviewed.

Meanwhile, the Maverick County Republican Chair, Sandy Sassano has a different point of view:  

"We're being invaded by wetbacks, simple as that."
