In a recent 60 Minutes chat, CBS’s Cecilia Vega took a wild swing at Texas Governor Greg Abbott over border security—a classic, but futile, display of liberal media bias. The heart of Texas is in its fight with the federal government to protect its borders, but it seems Vega missed that beat.

Vega’s report kicked off down in Texas, where she and the National Guard were keeping an eye on the swarming border crossings. At Shelby Park, they watched migrants pour through, compelled to turn the park into a makeshift holding center due to the sheer numbers. A moving scene, yes, but the real issue lies deeper.

When the rush dwindled, Abbott stepped up, barring the federal government’s border patrol from the park – a clear show of state strength. The federal government had dropped the ball, leaving it to Texas to pick up the slack. But before we could delve into the real meat of the matter, Vega veered off to question Texas’ historical rebellious tendencies, chiming in with a hasty jab about potential secession.

Abbott firmly squashed the absurd idea but was soon faced with another equally misconstrued analogy. Vega insisted that if each state governed its border policy, chaos would ensue. Abbott promptly clarified, once again, that Texas was just enforcing the laws that the United States Congress put down, not creating a separate policy.

The rest of the show followed the same, skewed trajectory, painting the situation as overly complicated—a tactic that liberal media often employs to blur the real issues. They even brought out ex-Border Patrol chief Raul Ortiz to critique Abbott’s approach and backhandedly snipe at Biden. Yet amidst all this supposed complexity, why was there time made for frivolous questions about secession?

Such slants and leading narratives seem to be a favorite tactic with journalists like Vega, who appear more interested in stirring the pot and diverting attention from the real issues. Governor Abbott’s stance and commitment to enforcing the laws laid down by the United States Congress should be addressed, not deflected with wild conjecture about secession.

Conclusively, it’s a tough road that Governor Abbott has chosen. He stands firmly, not for secession, but for the right to enforce the law. Amid the swirl of media frenzy and misplaced questions, it’s clear Abbott isn’t swaying from his course. For Texans and the rest of us, that resolute backbone promises more action and less chatter. It’s about time we have more politicians focused on our country’s values and true issues at hand—like the challenge of border security—rather than entertaining partisan narratives.
