Not really but I'll play along
You've lived in both?
To be perfectly honest. West Virginia is Texas' little brother.
Texas is bigger and flatter with more Mexicans, Chinks, and black people. And wants to build a wall around itself.
West Virginia is smaller with more mountains, less Mexicans, Chinks, and black people (though numbers are growing). Doesn't need to worry about keeping folks out due to its mountainous terrain and shitty economy, but if in Texas' shoes would also be thinking about a wall.
