Greg Abbott and the rest of the mostly southern governors are playing with fire, upping the ante with this grandstanding show at the border, which is probably their intent.
I’m tired of their antics, though. One-issue cowboys doing their best rebel imitations, trying to muscle their way into the national spotlight. Don’t mess with Texas… the South will rise again… enough of the provincial bullshit.
Yes, immigration is a serious issue, but it’s not the only issue. And while sending busloads of unwitting immigrants all over the country might “raise awareness,” it’s not the best way to curry favor with all those perceived coastal elites who are dealing with their own challenges and don’t necessarily appreciate being force fed some morality tale.
One thing it may do is add to the bad blood that’s been coursing through the veins since before the Civil War.
