I grew up in El Paso. Bishop Seitz was not the Bishop of El Paso when I was there, but I can tell you that the Bishop's words matter a lot to a community like El Paso. El Paso is very Catholic, left-leaning, and what the Bishop says matters. It was a big deal when the Bishop came to mass at our parish growing up. This message needed to be sent and it needed to be sent in that community. Good on you, Bishop!
