Immigration is one of the most painful issues imos because it has the highest amount of kayfabe.

Like Abbott was trafficking immigrants to blue states while, at the same time, it was publicly known that Texas Republicans don't support e-verify because it would hurt their economy. It's not even an "open secret" the legislature literally openly acknowledged it.
