You need to look up “tacit.” The Governor has both vocal and has written about his support for both those States. He’s a strong supporter of the 10th Amendment and the laboratory of the states.
He did not say the Arizona law wouldn’t work in Texas, he said it was not right for Texas. He objects to the liability for LEO’s that was created by that law. The anti-sanctuary bill that he put on an emergency fast track on the 2011 Legislative slate and then added to the Special Session agenda, did not carry that liability.
Excuses. If Obama made those, you’d be screaming everyday.
