Fairly Alarmed Here

<p>This week, my 18-year-old son asked me this question, &ldquo;how concerned should we be with what&rsquo;s happening at the Texas border?&rdquo;. Well, it&rsquo;s complicated, but my first thought was Jeff Goldblum&rsquo;s reaction when he hears the T-Rex in the distance in&nbsp;<em>Jurassic Park</em>: &ldquo;I&rsquo;m fairly alarmed here&rdquo;. I had just been reading the letter that Governor Greg Abbott released that sounded fully cribbed from South Carolina&rsquo;s 1860 secession declaration. This, of course, is not the first time Texas has threatened this. It&rsquo;s practically written into the Texas fabric to talk about seceding every few years. Many a political cartoon has gotten a laugh from playing on this stereotype. However, fully dismissing this as buffoonery or posturing would be a mistake.</p> <p><a href="https://jennifergraham798.medium.com/fairly-alarmed-here-147543c0e8ed"><strong>Visit Now</strong></a></p>
