Drew Hernandez said much the same when Abbott made a big deal about working with LE on Mexican side to "make sure there wasn't interference of transport of goods, yet securely enforced against drug trafficking" ; he went and spoke to the head LE/County officials. It was a joke. They were taking Texas $$$ with no change in reinforcement or policies. If Abbott had wanted to enforce the border, he could have done so Day 1 Biden took office.
Being complicit is being guilty.
