Texas Governor Greg Abbott declares state of emergency at border

Texas Governor Greg Abbott accuses President Biden of dereliction of duty.

In a recent statement, Texas Governor Greg Abbott expressed concerns regarding the enforcement of federal immigration laws by the Biden administration, accusing President Joe Biden of violating his constitutional oath. Governor Abbott declared that Texas has the right to defend itself against invasion and announced his intention to exercise the full and total power of the state to protect its borders.

Citing the influx of illegal immigrants and cartel smuggling across the Texas-Mexico border, Governor Abbott criticized the federal government for neglecting its responsibilities to secure the nation's borders. He argued that the current situation poses a threat to the safety and security of Texans, likening the lack of action by the Biden administration to a breach of trust between the federal government and the states.
