Governor Abbott Discusses Biden Administration’s Border Policies with Newsmax
Texas Governor Greg Abbott is disputing the White House’s claim that he is causing chaos at the southern border with Mexico. Abbott argues that it is actually the lack of immigration enforcement by the Biden administration that is responsible for the havoc. The Department of Justice has filed a lawsuit against Abbott and the state after the governor ordered a barrier to be placed in the Rio Grande River to prevent migrants from crossing into Texas. The DOJ claims that the state did not receive permission to erect the barrier. However, Abbott argues that Texas is fighting for the freedom and sovereignty of the country and that the Biden administration needs to do its job. He also states that the chaos is a result of the administration’s refusal to enforce immigration laws. Abbott highlights that Texas is the only governmental body preventing illegal immigration and that they are using their constitutional authority to deny illegal immigrants access to the country. The White House press secretary has accused Abbott of sowing chaos through political stunts in an inhumane way. Abbott, on the other hand, asserts that Texas is abiding by the Constitution and using its constitutional authority.
