take texas hypocrites for instance, which i believe would never tolerate incursion of other national guard troops, but happy to export for trump. by the way, if you pull over a non-hispanic for an ID check in texas, you would be harassing a minority. so great odds for ICE !
purple states just have too much inertia.

minnesota is the current test case, while most states retain 'gop welcome' signs in the store window.
