Abbott: Border barriers needed between New Mexico, Texas

Quote

When it comes to stopping illegal immigration, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott is focused on more than just the southern border, turning attention also to stopping people who have crossed the border from entering Texas through other states.

“There are people who cross from Mexico into New Mexico and then right over into El Paso, and that’s something we have to deal with,” Abbott told NewsNation.

Quote

He has plans to fence off the border between the two states, similar to how the state has installed razor wire along the Mexican border in Eagle Pass, Texas. That wire, along with other border barriers installed as part of Abbott’s Operation Lone Star, has faced challenges in court, where the Biden administration has argued Abbott is overstepping his authority.

“Let’s assume Texas does succeed in reducing illegal immigration to zero percent into our state, which is our goal,” Abbott said. “All those terrorists, all those murderers, all those rapists, they’re just going to go through New Mexico and Arizona and California.” 

Quote

While there isn’t robust data on whether more crimes are committed by immigrants or U.S. citizens, some experts have said the data that does exist shows immigrants commit fewer crimes than citizens.

Border crossings have dropped significantly following action by President Joe Biden to deter illegal crossings. But Abbot claims that border crossings began to slow before that, and immigration historically has peaks and valleys throughout the year.

Yeah...

This isn't to keep illegal immigrants out that come in through New Mexico.  This is to keep Texans in Texas and not let them leave, especially for things like weed or abortions.

BINGO.

Every step they take -- EVERY SINGLE ONE -- is an effort to make Texas into their authoritarian utopia.

Are there no rapists or murderers in Oklahoma, Arkansas, or Louisiana?  
 

Or is it that those states also have strict anti-abortions laws?

If he’s talking about a wall between Texas and Oklahoma, he’s got my attention.

What a fucking evil idiot 

Not to mention the pure hubris of assuming that those that cross a thousand or more miles west will still make their way east into Texas.  Why wouldn’t they stay in the more migrant friendly California or New Mexico?

This is dumbest of all dumb ideas and it's not even worth acknowledging, much less getting worked up about.  0.0% chance it happens for about a million reasons.  It's 100% performance art by Abbott.  Don't give it oxygen.

I'm sure twice and the others will be here soon enough to explain how this is ok in the eyes of the law because reasons.

As a citizen of Colorado, I am pretty sure we can get this state to pay for Texas' northwestern border wall.

lol. I could easily see the rest of the country paying for a wall around Texas. Doors optional.

We'll even line the interior of the wall with Ansel Adams photos so you can remember what the rockies look like 😜 

Who was the previous most embarrasing Texan? Ted Cruz? Andrea Yates? Blake Gideon?

Amazingly, and against all odds, Abbott stands alone as the worst person to reside in this state. 

Same as his bragging about removing people from voter registration… when a majority is from normal reasons like citizens passing away or moving. Again, evil performative idiot

Yep, 5-4 it's persmissible with Roberts shaking his head that maybe his fascist friends have finally gone too far, though only in a tepidly worded separate dissent. Thomas will write the opinion, which will concentrate on the god-given rights of fencing contractors to pay for his 3rd vacation home.

You can still get them, they'll just cost four times as much, because conservative free-market Republicans love them some tariffs.

You mean the guy who will work to destroy public education at the drop of a hat because some Pennsylvania TikTok billionaire told him to wouldn’t do that?  He absolutely will.

Because this is about appealing to MAGA and he’s not trying to dry up the jobs that bring illegal immigrants to Texas in the first place.

Not only does he not love him, he'll probably start campaigning to outlaw ramps in this country.  And Abbott will offer his full-throated support on the issue.

This is really going to piss off that vet who drove the Eagle Talon between Texas and New Mexico and wouldn't roll down his windows.

Yeah, the Texas GOP has not, once, ever, at all, even mentioned monitoring women crossing the state border to other states where abortion is legal.  And Texas DPS doesn't ever have troopers along the border to nab people coming back from NM or Colorado, where pot is legal.

Yep, that kind of thinking is the same thinking that thinks "Greg Abbott will respect the wishes of Texans and their legislators when it comes to public education"

Meanwhile, Greg Abbott went on a spending and PR spree to try and kick out any Republican legislators who wouldn't do what he said and support public vouchers.

He will spend tens and hundreds of millions of dollars of Texas taxpayer money on walls, but he isn't going to touch any of the numerous corporations and individuals in Texas who hire labor that they know is not here legally.

New? That's been the mantra as long as I've been alive.

Though in fairness to Mississippi, they recently got a bug up their ass and improved their reading scores from 50th to about 35th place. Or else 15 other states just slid behind them. Flip a coin.

Yeah, the unsaid part of that is I first heard that joke in high school, and, well, it's been a long time since I've been in high school
