Texas Governor Greg Abbott stopped by Fox News Sunday with host Shannon Bream to absolutely blast President Biden for his failings at the southern border and to share his thoughts on Title 42 coming to an end this week.
Abbott also defended his action in busing migrants from the border into some of the nation’s bluest cities run by “Sanctuary City” mayors like Eric Adams and Lori Lightfoot.
“Well, first of all, the reason why we are busing those migrants across the country is because small little towns on the border like Del Rio and Eagle Pass, they have no capacity to deal with the number of people coming across the border, and we have to relieve the congestion in those small communities and bus them to larger communities,” Abbott responded. “That said, Shannon, it must be pointed out also, everything that you just said that Mayorkas said is just a flat-out lie or total ignorance. He says that the border is closed. Everybody in America knows that the border is not closed and it’s more open.”
Abbott praised previous President Trump’s efforts at the border, stressing that everything got worse when “Biden came in and eliminated all those policies and put down a welcome back — welcome mat to the entire world that the border is now open, that we suddenly have the chaos that has caused solely by policies put into place by Joe Biden.”
