This is racist. It is wrong. And I condemn it without reservation. There is absolutely nothing Christian or conservative about looking at a crowd of young Texans at a college football game, seeing the color of their skin, and declaring that they are a “problem.” These are 20-year-old kids cheering for their university—not political props and not targets for racial attacks. We can have serious debates about our nation’s immigration laws. I have strong views about immigration policy, and Americans have every right to demand changes to federal law. But opposing an immigration policy does not give anyone license to demean people because of their race or ethnicity. And let’s be clear: the Texas Railroad Commission regulates our oil and gas industry. It does not set federal immigration policy. Texans deserve Railroad Commissioners focused on the responsibilities of that office—not using a statewide campaign as a platform for racial division. This does not represent my Christian faith. It does not represent my conservative principles. And it does not represent the Republican Party I believe in. As a Texas Aggie, I’m always happy to take a friendly shot at the Longhorns when the opportunity presents itself. That rivalry is part of what makes these two great universities so special. But this goes far beyond college rivalry. We should be willing to call racism wrong no matter who says it, what party they belong to, or how politically inconvenient it may be. This is wrong, and I want no part of it.
I heard UT graduation this year looked like this. I didn’t believe it. The problem is now obviously far worse than anyone imagined.

It's becoming uncomfortably racist here in the Dallas suburbs. Here are the facts: - Indians are 2% of DFW and own 5.3% of its businesses - DFW's Indian population more than doubled from 2000 to 2010 and is at 220,000 today. - Asian Indians are the majority in many Frisco subdivisions, and Frisco is one of the wealthiest, fastest-growing suburbs in America. - In Frisco, where Indians are the largest Asian group: Asian median household income is $190K, median home $642K, poverty 3.5%. Name the DFW suburbs with the most Indian families: Frisco, Plano, Allen. Now name the ones with the best schools and highest home appreciation. Same list. They are literally providing more jobs and paying more in taxes per capita than the average American, and they are overwhelmingly here legally through the most vetted visa process we have. This is what 'ruining the neighborhood' looks like apparently. "They are the reason no one can afford homes here!" The fix for expensive housing is building more houses, and nearly half of DFW construction workers are also immigrants. The people getting blamed for the housing shortage are the ones framing the houses. My wife and a friend recently hosted a nonprofit Children's Entrepreneurship Market. Guess who most of the winners were? Yep. Isn't America supposed to be competitive? They make us better. The H1B program has real abuses. Outsourcing firms gamed it for years. Fix the program, YES! Agreed! But the families at the mandir in Frisco aren't the program. They're the people the program was supposed to be for. Mark me down as pro Indian.

Listening to the Yanks talk about the #WorldCup is crazy. They deadset think they’re going to walk all over Turkey, Paraguay & us Aussies. With how arrogant their pundits have been I hope they get punted at the group stage. #Socceroos #USMNT #Turkiye #paraguay

i love that they picked the billy joel track. while everyone’s reaching for sinatra or empire state of mind, this stands out so beautifully and makes the city feel less like a postcard and more like a place. thank the lord, good commercials are so back.

When Texas A&M shows up on one of the biggest stages in sports! 👀 Today we crossed the finish line with @FRosenqvist and @MeyerShankRac as they delivered a HISTORIC victory at the Indy 500 — showing the world what it means to stand together as a force for GOOD. Congrats and Gig ’em, Felix!!! From the entire Aggie family — we’re proud to stand with you for one of America's most iconic Memorial Day weekend traditions. 🏁🔥

It was inspiring to watch the Artemis II launch yesterday — @NASA’s first crewed mission around the moon since 1972. Our space program has always captured an essential part of what it means to reach beyond what we thought was possible, and I hope the four brave astronauts on this mission will inspire a new generation to follow in their footsteps.

Texas A&M had more wins in both Football and Basketball. They made the College Football Playoff. They are a higher seed in the NCAA Tournament. The Aggies ARE SUPERIOR to the Longhorns.

.@jamestalarico: I've had a lot of interviews with national media. No one's ever asked me about the cost of housing. No one's asked me about the cost of prescription drugs. The only thing the media wants to ask me about are trans athletes. The only minority destroying this country is the billionaires. Trans people are 1% of the population. Undocumented people are 1% of the population. We are all focused on the wrong 1%. Trans people aren't taking away our healthcare. Undocumented people aren't defunding our schools. It's the billionaires and their puppet politicians

6 months ago we launched this grassroots campaign for the US Senate to bring working people together. Because the biggest divide in our politics is not left vs right — it’s top vs bottom. Today is Election Day. Find your nearest polling place: jamestalarico.com/vote
