Texas Dems, Legislative Black Caucus respond after Gov. Greg Abbott targets border, crime in a televised state-of-the-state address
Although Abbott used the speech to name school safety a priority for Texas lawmakers to tackle over the next three months, he did not lay out any specific proposals and reiterated a general opposition to new restrictions on firearms.and three others injured, a shooting that took place across a large parking lot from the Walmart where 23 people were killed in a racist attack in 2019.
“Some want more gun laws,” Abbott said. He then accused “too many local officials” of not enforcing existing gun laws, but did not provide any examples. For most governors, the State of the State rarely strays from pomp and tradition, serving as part highlight reel of past achievements and part unveiling of new priorities. Most are delivered in state capitols to an audience of newly elected legislators — as formerly was the case in Texas.
But Abbott has not only reimagined them as made-for-TV but taken the show on the road. His speech Thursday was broadcast from a manufacturing plant in San Marcos, along the booming corridor between Austin and San Antonio that has become a sprawling symbol of Texas’ turbocharged growth the last two decades.
Reporters were not granted access to the speech. Nearby, immigrant rights advocates organized a small protest over Abbott’s hard-line measures on the U.S.-Mexico border.
