Noted and confirmed. https://www.thedailybeast.com/texas-governor-greg-abbott-is-a-shameless-immigration-hypocrite "It’s hard to imagine now but Abbott actually campaigned as an inclusive moderate when he first ran for governor in 2014, after serving 13 years as state attorney general. At a time when others in the Republican Party were flaunting their nativism, Abbott’s campaign for governor was not shy about advertising the fact that his wife, Cecilia, was the granddaughter of Mexican immigrants. What is Abbott’s angle? In the increasingly complicated purple state of Texas, it could be as simple as survival. He underestimated the ferocity of the COVID-19 pandemic, and he showed poor leadership during last winter’s energy outage where some Texans had to burn their furniture just to stay warm."
