Sure, I agree that Greg Abbott is an asshole. That doesn't necessarily make him wrong, though? I'm not looking at his actions, it's obviously political theatre.

Sure, I agree that Greg Abbott is an asshole. That doesn't necessarily make him wrong, though? I'm not looking at his actions, it's obviously political theatre. The actions that appear to be revelatory to me are the ones by Democratic-led cities that went from grandstanding of their own to immediately backpedaling when the burden of providing social services to illegal immigrants was shared with them. Greg Abbott is taking a bad situation and sharing it with his neighbors, but they were closing their eyes and saying "there is no problem, and it's good actually" until they had to deal with it themselves.
