Just a bunch of billionaire Republican oil tycoons who have been overrun by illegals being used by communist influences to change the country. Amirite?
El Paso is basically New Mexico. I've driven through it a couple of times and was glad I was just passing through.
Interesting you should make that comparison. My solution to the Middle East and our border problems is to gift New Mexico, Arizona, and the Rio Grande border area to Isreal. The area would soon flourish in crop production and the border crossings would come to an end. If only Jerusalem amd the Temple Mount weren’t so important they might take us up on the offer.
Nothin but steers and beers, as the old saying goes.
As a contrast to, say Galveston, here is some New Jersey February fun:
Big hair and bigger steaks...
LOL!
Scary close.
He wasn't serious!
Never been a fan of Texas. For one thing the cowboys, and as a niners fan I loathe them. I also met quite a few people from the state in my travels in the navy and other instances and not many of them improved my perception.
Love Texas roadhouse though, my favorite restaurant.

I did enjoy my 2 years in El Paso. I do recall one afternoon, about 5 PM or so, I was going to the movies downtown to watch the Exorcist. I was standing on a corner waiting for the lights to change when I noticed there was not a single blonde headed person on any of the 4 street corners or anywhere else on the streets. I thought, wow. How about that.
I developed a "thing" for Hispanic girls during my two years in south Texas.
One of my favorite songs!
My opinion of Texas is favorable but not well informed. My mom was born in El Paso and went to high school in Fort Worth, but was sent to Athens for college because her family's roots were very deep in Georgia. I heard lots of Texas, New Mexico, and old Mexico stories growing up.
Go, Dawgs!
My brother spent 3 yrs stationed in El Paso. He called it the azz hole of the south
I was struck by the Hispanic traditions in EL Paso. While seeing a young Hispanic woman, we actually had her aunt and other relatives walk behind us while strolled after church. Also, young folks would ask permission to pass their slower walking elders on the sidewalks, “ con permiso.” I liked that and have remembered it to this day. For me El Paso was more than ok.
