Abbott spoke for many Texans at the top of his speech when he asked us to ponder this notion, one that some Texans might think is an emergency:
“On this very day, about 1,000 new residents are going to call Texas home. As you all know, that happens almost every day. Now whether you like that fact or dislike that fact we can never lose sight of the reason so many people are making the life-altering decision to uproot their families and businesses and chart new paths, paths that guided them to Texas.”
“Now, listen,” Abbott said in an unTexan nod to our fallibility. “I may know that we may not be perfect, but to all the newcomers I talk to, they think that Texas is a governmental Holy Grail.”
