Republican Texas Governor Greg Abbott issued a scathing statement on Wednesday, directed towards President Joe Biden and his administration. In this statement, Abbott emphasized that his state, Texas, will take necessary measures to safeguard itself amidst the ongoing border crisis.

Abbott did not hold back in criticizing Biden personally, asserting unequivocally that Texas possesses every legal right to protect its borders and its citizens.

Over the course of more than three years, numerous communities in Texas have transformed into what can be described as refugee centers. Biden’s refusal to halt the influx of illegal immigration into the country has resulted in millions of individuals, who lack legitimate grounds for seeking asylum in the United States, overwhelming public services nationwide.

Earlier this week, the Biden administration successfully argued before the U.S. Supreme Court that their own use of razor wire on the border was inhumane. In a 5-4 decision, the court ruled that federal agents could dismantle the razor wire and any other barriers that were preventing people from entering Texas.

On his official X account, Governor Abbott expressed his anger and shared a forceful message directly aimed at the White House.

“The federal government has broken the compact between the United States and the States,” Abbot wrote. “The Executive Branch of the United States has a constitutional duty to enforce federal laws protecting States, including immigration laws on the books right now.”

Abbott continued, “President Biden has refused to enforce those laws and has even violated them.

“The result is that he has smashed records for illegal immigration. Despite having been put on notice in a series of letters — one of which was delivered to him by hand — President Biden has ignored Texas’s demand that he perform his constitutional duties.”

“President Biden has violated his oath to faithfully execute immigration laws enacted by Congress,” Abbot wrote. “Instead of prosecuting illegal immigrants for the federal crime of illegal entry, President Biden has sent his lawyers into federal courts to sue Texas for taking action to secure the border. President Biden has instructed his agencies to ignore federal statutes that mandate the detention of illegal immigrants. The effect is to illegally allow their en masse parole into the United States.”

In addition, Abbot asserted that Biden’s actions have not only resulted in a squandering of funds to facilitate border access, but have also posed a threat to individuals attempting to enter the nation through means other than the 28 designated legal entry points along the Texas-Mexico border.

According to Abbott, Biden’s policies have compelled numerous individuals to undertake perilous swims across the Rio Grande, thereby endangering their own lives as well as the lives of others.

Furthermore, he highlighted that the approximate six million unauthorized immigrants who have entered the country during Biden’s tenure surpass the population of 33 distinct states across the nation.

“This illegal refusal to protect the States has inflicted unprecedented harm on the People all across the United States,” Abbott argued.

“That authority is the supreme law of the land and supersedes any federal statutes to the contrary. The Texas National Guard, the Texas Department of Public Satiety, and other Texas personnel are acting on that authority, as well as state law, to secure the Texas border.”
