I think you're giving Governor Abbott short shrift there....

Trump put the issue square into the national consciousness when he came down the stairs in 2015 to announce his campaign. From then on it's been a Front And Center issue.

Greg Abbott, to his eternal credit, figured out how to make every locale that has the loads of the annoying "In this House We Believe no Human Being Is Illegal" signs in yards live up to their virtue signaling...and they failed - hard - with the most spectacular example being Maaaatha's Vinyaaahd.
