Texas governor issues order to block COVID-19 positive migrants from leaving the border

How does this help anyone?

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott issued an executive order Wednesday to try to stop the dispersion of the coronavirus in his state by giving state police the power to stop and turn back vehicles — particularly buses — carrying illegal immigrants who were caught at the border, then released by the Biden administration.

Mr. Abbott said police can also impound vehicles.

He said he had to step in to handle the thousands of illegal immigrants being caught that are quickly released by Homeland Security every week, saying there’s evidence they are a significant source of spread of the coronavirus.

this only leads to more deaths. Does anyone want a child to die? Maybe he should think about that and how well he wants to sleep at night

Greg is a racist asshole and I was glad that AG Garland pointed out to Greg that "show me you papers" laws are illegal in the US.



I am glad that we have a real attorney general in who will enforce the law

Greg is really worried about being challenged in the primaries by a tea party nut case and Qanon nutcase. The endorsement of TFG may not be enough to get Greg through the primary
