Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has told a right-wing radio host that there’s only one tool the state isn’t using to stop migrants from crossing the border into Texas: gun violence, because it would prompt a response from the pesky federal government.
“The only thing that we are not doing is we’re not shooting people who come across the border—because, of course, the Biden administration would charge us with murder,” the Republican governor told former NRA spokesperson Dana Loesch on her radio show last week.
I know I should comment on the article but I immediately said your username 3 times fast, until I dissolved into giggles. Thanks very much for that.
Just like the good book said.
Then they wonder why AI would take us out. Is anyone seeing this sh!t?!?!
What about just shooting nazi’s instead of migrants? Are we allowed to do that? What about nazi’s in wheelchairs? It’s not murder if it’s not human, right?
Conservatives don’t see normal people as humans, but boy do they hate it when that dehumanization is applied to them.
Imagine if mexico started mowing down americans travelling across the border. Or canada shooting americans at the border
Or Coloradans shooting Texans at the Oklahoma border.
That little panhandle that Texas had to cede in order to join the union as a slave state could be the DMZ.
A boy can dream, I suppose.
I don’t think its an absurd position to defend an international border with force against those who would illegally cross it. Sovereign countries are sovereign.
It’s barbaric. Disenfranchised people seeking a better life are not your enemy. The sociopathic lowlifes that rely on illegal labor so they can underpay their workers are the ones actively manipulating the system at every turn to make your life worse. And the situation has gone on for so long that if we did lock down the borders, with violence if necessary, our economy would immediately crash. But whereas common folks like us will be up a certain creek with no paddle, the jerks responsible for all of it would have a much better chance weathering the storm.
