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.
If one of those migrants is pregnant, though, then wouldn’t a nosy neighbor in Texas get to sue them for murder, or something?
Silly rabbit. That’s only when it’s politically advantageous. Fascists have no problem aborting immigrants or their babies.
Not true. They don’t allow immigrant women bodily autonomy either.
That’s Arizona. Specifically, Maricopa County and its attention-whore sheriff.
A totally different fascist hellhole than Texas.
Different? Sure. Hardly TOTALLY different, though. The two hellholes have a lot of atrocious similarities.
