Is sending illegal immigrants to DC and NYC just a stunt?
I despise Abbott with every fiber of my being, but does he have a point? California also has a big border with Mexico, but we don't hate immigrants the way Red States do.

It is a stunt, because DC does not have the kind of jobs that would keep the illegal immigrants self-supporting. So, he knows they're going to be an instant problem, whereas in places like California, Texas, Oregon, Washington, etc. have a lot of farm land that's currently understaffed.
@Northwest It's about "owning" or really f-cking the libs, the federal government, or anyone else that can get him popular approval at this point.
Abbott has a real problem at home with his performance governing domestically, in terms of a majority of the population, but attacking the feds, other states, and folks who can't vote works well for him, given the current political climate.
Yeah, it kind of sucks because he's actively trying to throw a wrench into the system, and some folks may call that sociopathic and bad, but others are pissed off at the system, society and other human beings and they're Abbott's base.
