VIDEO: Republican Governor’s Stern Warning To Biden
Biden needs to do something to secure the border.
Texas Governor Greg Abbott recently issued a stern warning to President Joe Biden, cautioning against any attempt to impede Texas’ efforts to curb irregular migration along its southern border. During an interview on Fox News, Abbott emphasized that meddling in Texas’ initiatives would significantly jeopardize Biden’s chances for reelection.
In his Fox News appearance, Abbott highlighted the pressing nature of illegal immigration, stressing its potential to become the primary issue in the upcoming 2024 presidential election. He underscored the proactive measures taken by the Texas National Guard, including the deployment of over 100 miles of razor wire, aimed at deterring unauthorized border crossings.
Tensions between Texan authorities and the Biden administration have escalated in recent months due to disagreements over immigration policies. Former President Donald Trump, now the presumptive Republican candidate for the 2024 election, has prominently featured border security as a cornerstone of his reelection campaign.
Abbott commended the dedication of the Texas National Guard in fortifying the border, emphasizing the crucial role of such measures in preventing illegal entry. He pointed out that Texas stands alone in taking substantive action against illegal immigration, suggesting that any interference from the Biden administration would spell disaster for his reelection prospects.
Additionally, Abbott asserted that a majority of border patrol personnel deployed in Texas supported the state’s efforts, indicating a broader dissatisfaction with the federal approach to border security.
Looking ahead to the 2024 election, Abbott predicted dire consequences for Biden’s campaign if he were to oppose Texas’ initiatives, asserting that it would effectively dismantle his chances for reelection.
Abbott shared a clip of his Fox News interview on social media, alongside a press release highlighting the effectiveness of Operation Lone Star, which he initiated in 2021 to combat illegal immigration. The release detailed significant accomplishments, including apprehensions of illegal immigrants and criminal arrests, as well as seizures of fentanyl aimed at addressing the opioid crisis.
The ongoing legal battles over immigration policies underscore the contentious nature of the issue, with clashes between state and federal authorities over jurisdiction and responsibility. Despite setbacks such as the Supreme Court ruling on razor wire removal and the federal court’s hold on Senate Bill 4, Abbott remains steadfast in his commitment to securing Texas’ border and protecting the state’s interests.
