Texas has been and should remain a beacon for those who seek refuge from violence, tyranny and oppression. Refugees are our teachers, doctors, engineers but more importantly, our neighbors. Shame @GregAbbott_TX.https://www.star-telegram.com/news/politics-government/article239118873.html …

Do you have some data that Gov. Abbott doesn't? Have you called his office to start a conversation?
I have been fortunate enough to spend time with some of the excellent refugee resettlement groups here in DFW. We are reaching out to the Governor’s office.

That's good to hear. But is their data available to back up either of y'alls decision to accept or not accept more refugees?
@pewresearch shows Texas accepted the most in FY2019.https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2019/10/07/key-facts-about-refugees-to-the-u-s/ … -
I agree we should lead where we can. But we can't just keep taking people if we haven't fully helped the people we have taken before. Have all the refugees you talk to say they have been completely resettled? Are their needs met to the best of our ability?
