Greg Abbott is an elected official—elected, by the way, by double-digit margins, whereas the bishop was appointed by a distant, autocratic pope. If the bishop proposed legislation to leave the border open and let whoever desires it to come into the country, does anyone imagine it would pass? Would it gain even 35% approval in a state with a Hispanic majority that has elected and re-elected Greg Abbott three times by wide margins?
