Greg Abbott lies about the Border - again and again

Seeking Asylum is a legal process, even if someone enters between ports of entry, but Abbott won't stop lying about it.

[People, I’ve been suspended on Dailykos for two weeks because the Staff didn’t like the title of one of my diaries. Again. If you could do me a favor could you share your favorite post of mine on your social media to help me really get things going here on Substack. I suspect I won’t be writing on Kos for very much longer.

Thanks.]

While in major consideration as a VP pick for Trump, fresh off of losing before the Supreme Court on the issue of maintaining buoys and razor-wire in the Rio Grande which has blocked Border Patrol from being able to do their jobs, and caused the death of a migrant and her child, Greg Abbott went only CNN this previous weekend and lied and lied and lied.

Abbott is dead wrong about the "Laws passed by Congress on the books" regarding immigration. Crossing the border without a visa is not a crime. It's a minor infraction with a maximum $250 fine. It's not a jailable offense. It only becomes a crime if someone has been previously deported and is caught at the border a second time.
