Sadly our governor, Governor Abbot, has proven himself to be a calculating, not a principled, politician when it comes to border security. He announces "bold" action which sounds good in sound bites but turns out to be ineffectual. The same goes for his latest. As some have said , it is nothing more than catch and release, only catch in one place and release at the border. Time to declare an invasion, Governor. Then return to Mexico and places south.
Yes, they are.
Is Texas still building their own wall?
Agree! This Executive order does nothing. I voted for Huffines for Governor. Abbott needs to take matters in his own hands.
“The key question is which side of the border is he releasing on?”
You’re thinking maybe Texas should invade Mexico and release them there?
Wow, I recall only seeing one woman treated badly in Texas, it was in a Bank of America. Were you in a private business?
Yes, trying to correct a prior transaction in that business, which is my right. I was issued a criminal trespass warning by police at the request of the business manager. Has never happened to be before in my entire life. Thanks to squish Abbott.
I thought about this, but if they could do official business in Mexico, they can just cross again.
I can’t bring myself to vote D, but I sure won’t vote RINO either.
He is no Sam Houston! What a coward.
Defend the border with NG troops, with loaded weapons and permission to shoot invaders. You don’t have to kill a lot of people, before they quit coming.
He’s a Bush-ite through and through. You can put John Cornyn in the same boat !
You’re asking ME this question? This thread is saying Abbott’s measures are crap because he’s MERELY rounding them up, as if doing so is doing nothing.
Sorry, I interpreted your post incorrectly.
I voted for Huffhines as well
Abbott is either personally convinced or has advisors who push him to moderate on much seemingly thinking someday the left leaning independents are goign to vote for him.
They aren’t but he maintains that course anyway.
He’s better than Irish Bob for sure but I have to think there is someone better who can get elected.
I’m hoping Matt Rinaldi will run for Governor in 4 years. He could beat Abbott easily. Maybe Abbott just won’t run again. We can hope.
