They could literally set up gun turrets on the Rio Grande and Abbott would still talk about how Biden is "weak on the border" and bang the secessionist drum because he refuses to approve a first strike against Mexico City. It doesn't matter what compromise the-democrat makes, because the-republican will always just ask for more. It costs them nothing and their voters don't fucking care. Anyone who says otherwise is a dumb fuck who doesn't understand the first thing about politics.

Obviously Biden wants to do this, but he’s signing on this specifically because in exchange he’s getting all the money he wants for Ukraine and Israel.
