Example Sentences

San Antonio Mayor Ron Nirenberg didn’t hold back when criticizing Texas Gov. Greg Abbott’s handling of the migrant crisis at the border.

“We know that’s an open door to racial profiling,” Nirenberg said.

That’s because Nirenberg isn’t the kind of Texan who would refer to victims of a mass shooting as “illegal immigrants,” as Abbott did less than a year ago.

And Nirenberg certainly wouldn’t lament not being able to shoot migrants seeking refuge.

Their deaths brought a fresh round of criticism for Abbott’s migrant policies — including from Nirenberg — but I doubt he cares.
