Texas Republican Governor Greg Abbott, who has spent $100 million dollars in taxpayer funds to ship thousands of undocumented immigrants to Democratic-run cities, is admitting they’re not shooting migrants crossing the border out of fear of being charged with murder by President Biden’s Dept. of Justice.
“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,” Abbott told former NRA spokesperson Dana Loesch, “where I signed a law, making it illegal for somebody to enter Texas from another country, and they’re subject to arrest and subject to deportation.”
The Texas governor insisted, “we are deploying every tool and strategy that we possibly can,” as the Heartland Signal newsroom reported (video below).
“The only thing that we’re not doing,” Abbott added, “is we’re not shooting people who come across the border, because of course the Biden administration would charge us with murder.”

Democratic strategist Sawyer Hackett, a senior advisor to former San Antonio Mayor and former HUD Secretary Julián Castro, wrote: “Greg Abbott says the only reason Texas law enforcement isn’t shooting migrants at the border is because the Biden admin would charge them.”
Former Chicago Tribune editor Mark Jacob appeared to agree, writing: “Sounds like Greg Abbott is saying the only thing that stops him from shooting immigrants is that he might get arrested for it.”
MSNBC anchor Chris Hayes also weighed in, saying: “Phrased slightly differently: ‘If we thought we could get away with it, we would murder all the men women and children coming to apply for asylum.'”
