The government should not be in the charity business. I can't afford this country anymore and I work full time. How can you justify giving 30% of wages to someone who came into this country under criminal pretense. Is that anyway to start a relationship with your new neighbors?
Abbott is a great man and so is Texas
Kamal wasn't it you said "Do you NOT COME HERE"
Now your telling them to illegally cross the Rio Grand?
You were right the first time around
At least Abbott is doing something while Biden ignores and lies about the problems
NO MORE ILLEGALS PERIOD
Can’t lose that revenue huh Democrats
So If I understand this right the Federal Government wants to treat law breaking illegal immigrant crossing with kid gloves and break out the red carpet for them. And not give these border states any money to help curb or prosecute theses illegal law breaking people wanting to cross into our country. Hey the way I see it if the U.S. Government will not come up with a plan to handle the illegal crossing at the border in 3 years then it becomes the states problem. It is so simple to solve this problem make them come into the U.S. the legal right way like everyone else. Why should these people be treated any different then people coming into the U.S. legally.
I was at a retirement seminar and the speaker spoke on how he quit his job after he made well over $950,000 PROFIT within 3months he invested $120,000. I need guidance on what investments to make.🚀🚀🚀…
So did Abbott come from Russia ?
A six foot ladder can easily get you over that buoy wall…. Remember the Alamo ??
US won't b peaceful 2 live in With Democrats runnin US.. illegals r outlaws..
FIX US DOJ AND BORDERS!!!!!!!!! PLEASE!!!!!
Texas government is doing gd job.. With Biden in WH US will b a lawless worst than 4rd world.. letting illegals in might as well open borders n let US drown into oceans ..
This is why Texas keeps getting rated as the worst state to live in. I live here. It is.
Keep up the great work, Governor Abbott .
Well if the federal government blah blah blah blah blah blah blah well how about this will if the federal government. The daily shootings in Chicago and every city in the United States and added up in the end of the day how many lives matter how about that blah blah blah blah the federal government and you'll worry about some migrants coming over to work
Another word salad from a bafoon VP what's un American is Giving the country away to illegals why?????? Backwards leadership BS.
Texas signed a law to eliminate water breaks for construction workers. Why would they worry about water breaks for immigrants.
They aren't looking for a pathway to citizenship , they are after the gold paved streets promised by the cartels
Our welfare program needs reform to support citizens
What are those who not long ago cried out that "All Lives Matter" saying now? What do they look like?
Recall inhumane Gov Abbott.
We don't want the illegals here. They did this to themselves. We have a saying here. Don't Mess With Texas.
Kamala is looking into the root causes.
Cameltoe Hyena womansplains so you children can comprehend
Feds don't run the states
😂 The ending of the empire 😂
Cry me a river…
Explain how Biden caused a hundred years + of illegal immigrant crossings.
Abbott should be charged with third degree murder.
"I as an extremist VP focus on different things, things approved of by me, so I'm perfectly perfect, like perfection, which is perfect, is perfect."
Somebody promised to build a wall down there and make Mexico pay for it, but I've forgotten his name.
Federal government has no control in any state . No state has to obey by fed laws nor inforce laws
We won't talk about them breaking the laws crossing the border
The doj like all of DC is corrupt AF.
So sad Gop is first to hire every illegal that sucefully cross
Well if the Federal Government will not secure the wall, and they will not give extra money to Texas to handle the influx of illegals, and if sanctuary states complain about illegals being bused to there states, Then please tell me what are all the small towns on the southern border suppose to do.
I believe in the absent of the Federal Government failing to doing there part in controlling the illegal immigration problem at the southern boarder.
It becomes the states responsibility to handle the issue plain and simple.
They need to sue over the donation impeached Ken Paxton’s PAC just gave to Lt. Governor Dan Patrick, the guy who is presiding over Paxton’s impeachment trial. 3 million. Patrick isn’t up for reelection for 3 years. Corruption in every facet of the GOP.
