One more comment about the border issue in Texas.
Heading into the 2018 midterms, Trump tried to do the same thing: Create a border crisis and campaign on the (invented) issue that scary brown people were invading.
It didn't work in 2018 (the Republicans lost) and I am sure it won't work again.
The idea that it work will comes from being inside an information ecosystem (or bubble): They can use it to rile their base, so they think it will rile everyone.
