Dope1: TX Gov Greg Abbott is illustrating administrative actions that can be taken by state governors along the border. A President serious about controlling things calls up all the border state governors and says "You folks can do these things and I'll look the other way"...

And that's where I think you're daft. You think the government runs like a criminal gang. The President is not Pablo Escobar. This isn't Peeky Blinders or Boardwalk Empire. What Abbot seems to do is play to the base for a coming Presidential run. As Al has said, shipping out migrants to Blue Cities works. But the other antics don't seem to, too many dead bodies. Isn't clear what advantage he thinks he gets by blocking access to Fed Agents to parts of the border where we know migrants are coming through.

I also think you don't mind a little cruelty, you don't mind not being humane if it serves your purpose, and you want to hide that behind the word "administrative."
