 Texas Governor encourages attacks on migrants, strong accusations from Mexico. The Mexican Foreign Ministry has accused the Texas Governor of advocating violent acts against migrants attempting to reach the United States. Last week, Greg Abbott said his administration was doing all it could to tackle the immigration crisis short of shooting people. In a statement published, Mexico's Foreign Ministry called for respect for human rights while denouncing all types of aggressive insinuations against a person's life. Mexico deplores the comments made by Texas Governor Greg Abbott and expresses its deepest concern about any type of expression that encourages violent acts and the dehumanization of the migrant community, the ministry said. The statement was referring to a January 5th interview Abbott gave to radio host Dana Loesch focusing on the migrant crisis, asking whether more could be done to protect the border. In his state, the Governor answered in the negative, We are deploying every tool and strategy that we possibly can. The only thing that we're not doing is we're not shooting people who come across the border. Because of course, the Biden administration would charge us with murder, Abbott said. As part of Operation Lone Star, Abbott has sought to build barriers along the border and detained almost 500,000 illegal immigrants. Texas has also bussed over 97,000 migrants that the federal authorities had allowed into the country to democrat run jurisdictions of New York City, Chicago, Denver, Los Angeles, Philadelphia and Washington.
