They are trying to establish Texas as an unsafe place for illegals to cross, forcing them to go through Arizona, New Mexico and California instead. If Texas spends less on border patrol than it does on illegal residents (namely education and welfare costs), it'll be a success.

The media will have you believe it's masses of children flooding the border, but the reality is that the vast majority are adults. There has merely been a surge in the number of central American children crossing compared to normal (thanks to Mexico for giving them a 48 hour pass to travel through the country).
The teens coming from central America are looking for asylum. Then their parents will join them and not have to worry about deportation because the US does not deport the illegal caretakers of a US citizen or anyone here legally.
