Texas Gov. Greg Abbott ® said shooting people who cross the border is the only tool the state is not using to deter migrants because the Biden administration would sue the state for “murder.”
“We are using every tool that can be used from building a border wall, to building these border barriers, to passing this law that I signed that led to another lawsuit by the Biden administration where I signed a law making it illegal for somebody to enter Texas from another country,” Abbott said on “The Dana Loesch Show” last week.
“The only thing that we’re not doing is we’re not shooting people who come across the border, because of course the Biden administration would charge us with murder,” Abbott later added.
Texas Democratic Party Chair Gilberto Hinojosa blasted Abbott’s remarks in a statement issued Thursday.
“The only thing stopping Greg Abbott from ordering law enforcement to shoot migrant women and children are murder charges. Time and time again, Greg Abbott and Texas Republicans have made it abundantly clear they have no morality or humanity,” Hinojosa said in a lengthy statement.
these people dont seem to understand the migration actually helps our economy. if immigrants are successfully integrated with jobs and taxes, etc. they cause less legal problems and are a benefit to the community.
but they cant see past their racism. this is all racists all the way down. there is no border problem accept when we choose for it to be a problem.
we spend 2 Billion dollars a day to protect the planet with our ‘defense’… but we cant seem to figure out how to just let immigrants come in and get jobs that no one else wants??
