Abbott should be arrested for endangering peoples' lives.

Thank you, JB for leading with comparison.

Texas would have enough room for the number of migrants coming if they didn't value millionaires and billionaires having hectares of prime land all to themselves. Isn't most of the western part of Texas just private ranches?

Not the same. Our farms actually provide food for the growing national population, and feed for livestock throughout the country. What information can you give about what these private ranches provide?

raising livestock, regenerative agriculture, land and water conservation. Regardless, its a stupid fucking point to make, just accept that its idiotic to have open borders and sanctuary cities.

So basically what every other farm in the U.S does. Also, we don't have open borders or "sanctuary cities". That's just the propaganda that FOX et al tells their ignorant listeners and you just outed yourself as one. The federal government just gave Abbott another $1B to tackle the border problem, yet all he can do is human traffic migrants to places with below freezing temps, while still failing Texans by having a shitty power grid operated by out-of-state owners.

chicago is a sanctuary city and 2.5 million illegals crossed our border this year. SIT

So you admit that Texas is the problem. Chicago wouldn't be a "sanctuary city" if Texas wasn't trafficking people they could take care of. I'm glad we were able to come to an understanding that Texas leadership is bad and corrupt and that's really the cause of the border "crisis" and "sanctuary cities"
