Not sure how to solve that problem, but I can't say enough how proud I am of Greg Abbott and his entire team through all current issues. He exemplifies all of my beliefs! Abbott for president!

They are not refugees to the current POTUS, to him they are brothers and sisters.

No doubt about that. He will do anything possible to import his very own selected future voters.
