Abbott has already said they can have 250 million to put towards a wall construction down payment to go on top of their 1.1 billion dollars that is for wall security. Texas has the 10th largest economy in the world. If they need more money he can find the money. He can be a GOP governor and find wasteful spending from other places and put that towards more security.
And again Abbott himself has talked about this before. So it's not like I'm thinking up some impossible scenario here.
My issue with Abbott and all the other GOP governors and Id say 95% of GOP politicians, that's all they do. All they do is just talk, it never gets followed up with any actions. This is just like every GOP politician that says theyre going to go hard after Big Tech, but all it is, is talk. It never leads to anything. GOP politicians are great at talking about what they want to get done, without ever getting anything done. But as long as they talk about that stuff and again keep from any new gun laws from being passed, that seems to be enough for GOP voters to keep voting them in.
Then on the flip side, Newsom in California just announced free healthcare for low income people for everyone in the state, doesnt matter if youre legal or not for 50 and above. Before it was just up until 26, and they are also talking about that it wont be long until 26-49 is covered as well.
So somehow Dem Governors like Newsom get crap like this done all of the time. They get pushed through ridiculous gun laws all the time. But when it comes to a GOP governor finding a way to tighten up border security in his state, we cant expect him to get anything done?
