The ongoing border battle in Texas has escalated with Democrats urging President Biden to federalize the state's National Guard. Governor Abbott of Texas staunchly defends his state's actions, asserting their right to protect themselves against what he calls a 'migrant invasion.' A recent poll indicates that only 18% of the country approves of President Biden's handling of the situation at the southern border. While many Democrats are calling on the president to take a firmer stance against Governor Abbott, the governor argues that he is upholding the law and protecting his state's interests.
Congressman Joaquin Castro points out that Governor Abbott is using the Texas National Guard to obstruct and create chaos at the border. Castro proposes that if Governor Abbott defies the recent Supreme Court ruling, President Biden should establish sole federal control over the Texas National Guard. In response, Governor Abbott accuses President Biden of being a lawless president and highlights the executive branch's constitutional duty to enforce federal laws, including immigration laws. He argues that President Biden has failed to enforce these laws and, as a result, has contributed to record-breaking levels of illegal immigration.
