Political stunts get an occasional laugh or they might allow the individual who pulls it off to crow a little; however, they rarely — if ever — result in actual solutions to pressing problems.
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has offered a doozy of a stunt. He intends to round up immigrants who come into Texas, place them on buses and then send them to Capitol Hill to give the federal government a chance to deal more directly with those Abbott said are creating a crisis on our nation’s southern border.
He blasts President Biden’s immigration policy and says if the president won’t protect our border, then states have an obligation to act.
I agree that the president has so far failed to come to terms with the immigration issue in Texas and other southern-border states. His policies aren’t working.
What’s the answer? It is not the trickery, chicanery and political stunt work that Greg Abbott is delivering.
If only the governor and his Republican pals in Texas would find a way to work with the Biden administration instead of trying to show ’em who’s got the bigger cajones.
