As a Texan, I can’t help but feel frustrated and disillusioned by the actions of our state government. The recent decision by Governor Abbott to offer razor wire to ranchers as a solution to the perceived immigration crisis is nothing more than a political stunt aimed at riling up his base and gaining attention on Fox News.
