Gov. Greg Abbott (R-TX) is a miserable excuse for a Christian.
According to The Guardian, “Texas troopers employed by Greg Abbott’s border patrol initiative were instructed to push children into the Rio Grande and deny migrants water in extreme heat, according to emails sent by a state employee.”
Note of interest: Searching Google for “Greg Abbott Murderer” produces about 3,280,000 results, as of February 9, 2024.
Here are a couple of tweets that provide a fair explanation about some of Abbott’s border death traps. Some might even say that he’s a serial killer. The federal government needs to stop him.

A day after Greg Abbott said this, Rep. Henry Cuellar reveals that three migrants died–a woman and two children. They drowned in the Rio Grande without intervention due to Abbott's policies. https://t.co/6xi5FOATeW

Meanwhile, Abbott cares so much about the women of Texas that after he signed the state’s draconian abortion bill he pledged to eradicate rapists. How has that worked out? The Austin American-Statesman reports, “More than 26,000 Texans are estimated to have become pregnant as a result of a rape since the US Supreme Court struck down Roe v. Wade in June 2022.” Women in Texas are being forced to give birth to their rapists’ babies.
Abbott really loves the children… working in dangerous adult jobs, that is. From KERA News, “In the Dallas area office’s jurisdiction, child labor violations increased 67% between 2022 and 2023, driving the number of penalties levied against employers up 1,000%. For fiscal year 2023, the Dallas district office has the second-highest number of cases in the U.S. so far, with 35 cases involving 188 minors.”
Now that Abbot’s “solved” the rape crisis and the border crisis, he is continuing his campaign to destroy public education in Texas. Even though his most recent bill failed in the Legislature, he’s not giving up. Because what Texas needs is to allow fake Christian schools to fleece the state coffers while bleeding the public schools dry. That’s really going to get kids ready to be good compliant workers.
