BETO responds to Tx Gov Abbott re: Pres Biden / Border crises
Tx Gov Abbott Today:
Greg Abbott
@GregAbbott_TX
The Biden Admin. has turned a humanitarian crisis into a complete disaster.
One location where migrants are housed has no clean running water & has a massive Covid outbreak.
Another location also has a massive Covid outbreak.
They were unprepared for open border policies

You care about immigrants?
The day before a white supremacist killed 23 people in El Paso (claiming there was a “Hispanic invasion of Texas”) you mailed a letter urging Republicans to “DEFEND TEXAS NOW” from immigrants & “take matters into our own hands.”
And then when the Biden administration offered to set up a system to provide COVID-19 testing & quarantine for families released from Border Patrol facilities in Texas, you rejected it.
Made it easier for you to continue to stoke fear about immigrants and asylum seekers.
And it provides a convenient scapegoat when Covid cases spike following your surrender of all public health protections for a state that has seen nearly 50,000 killed by your ineptitude.
You’ll just blame it on the immigrants.
But all the fear mongering in the world won’t make us forget what you’ve done.
It was only a month ago that you left dozens to die — kids, veterans, grandparents — because the profits of your energy industry donors were more important than the lives of the people of this state.
So go on with your radical right wing theatrics & your scapegoating of the vulnerable and defenseless.
Texans will take care of each other & work to help these families & children. Just as we have during the pandemic, just as we did during the winter storm.
Without your help.
And if you’re done with the fear mongering and sensational headlines, you’ll find some great organizations in the thread below who are helping children and families:
