In January, Greg Abbott mentioned they would shoot migrants crossing the border but the Biden administration would charge them with murder.

There is a subtle nuance here that boils down to Abbott not believing the Federal Government has an obligation to protect the right to life of non-US citizens. I believe with Trump in office, Greg Abbott will have no problem or repercussions at all shooting migrants crossing the border, effectively giving the death penalty to illegal immigration.

However, I’d like to point out that a fetus isn’t a citizen until after it’s born. How would conservatives make 1+1=2 when the life of a fetus and the life of an illegal immigrant have the same protections, per the Constitution?
