Texas Governor Greg Abbott has written an op-ed for The New York Post making it very clear he’s not backing down from a fight against the Biden Administration over the safety of the southern border.
Abbott wrote about the challenges the Lone Star State faces in response to the do-nothing Biden Admin.
“This challenge involves not only ruthless Mexican drug cartels wresting operational control of the border or the record surge in illegal immigration,” Abbott wrote in The Post.
“Most profoundly, this challenge is driven by a Biden administration intent on impeding our efforts to secure the border and keep Texans safe,” he added.
“President Biden’s Department of Justice sued the state of Texas last month for our recent efforts to deter and repel migrants from making the dangerous — and often deadly — illegal crossing through the Rio Grande waterway into Texas by deploying floating marine barriers.”
“Biden is clearly more concerned with preventing Texas from protecting our sovereignty than stopping transnational criminals from exploiting his border crisis for profit or discouraging migrants from risking their lives to enter America illegally.”
Arrests for illegally crossing the U.S. border from Mexico soared 33% from June to July, accoding to numbers from U.S. Customs and Border Prtoection.
Read the full op-ed over at The New York Post:
Biden would rather sue Texas for doing his job than address the border crisis he created.
He should send Texas a thank you note, not a lawsuit.
We will take this legal battle to the U.S. Supreme Court to protect our authority to secure the border. https://t.co/HkJcF7HWZ5
