Texas has been known for its southern hospitality. More Lately as much of Governor Abbott’s policies has opened a floodgate of Californians and other liberal state citizens making a mass exodus to the Lone Star State. Not always to the benefit of the Texas Citizenry. However, what has not been welcome is the crime, human trafficking, and drugs that have invaded the southern border through horrible Biden Administration policies.
Texas is paying the price for President Biden’s inaction, & we are taking unprecedented action to protect our state.
Time for Biden to secure the border by enforcing federal immigration laws.https://t.co/UXLdMVXaf7

Biden finally deemed it important enough to visit the Texas southern border and Gov. Greg Abbott was not rolling out the welcome matt. Instead, the Texas Governor presented President Joe Biden with a manifesto-like letter. Abbot made it clear that Biden needed to fix the mess the border has become under his policies.
Sunday marked his first visit to the southern border. He landed in El Paso, Texas where the state’s governor was waiting.
Abbott hand-delivered a letter to the president on the airport tarmac. The missive clearly illustrated the Governor’s criticism of the President’s visit and demanded Biden take five immediate steps to end the crisis he helped set off.
The Texas Governor wrote that the visit was “$20 billion too little and two years too late.”
Abbott criticized the scripted nature of the visit, saying it was designed to ensure Biden never sees the full scope of the problem. A problem Abbott lays fully at the feet of the incompetent Biden.
The New York Post reported over the weekend that El Paso authorities had dismantled migrant camps and bused hundreds of illegal aliens across the border to Mexico. This was all in preparation for Biden’s visit.

“[Y]our visit avoids the sites where mass illegal immigration occurs and sidesteps the thousands of angry Texas property owners whose lives have been destroyed by your border policies. Even the city you visit has been sanitized of the migrant camps which had overrun downtown El Paso because your Administration wants to shield you from the chaos that Texans experience on a daily basis. This chaos is the direct result of your failure to enforce the immigration laws that Congress enacted,” Abbott wrote.
Biden's dog and pony show is nothing but a box-checking exercise combined with propaganda.
It will do NOTHING to stop the flood at our border because the administration does not want to – and so is refusing to.
Pass the Texas Border Plan NOW!https://t.co/08FySfCO4w

Abbott had no qualms pointing out how secure the border had become under the policies of former President Donald Trump.
“Under President Trump, the federal government achieved historically low levels of illegal immigration. Under your watch, by contrast, America is suffering the worst illegal immigration in the history of our country. Your open-border policies have emboldened the cartels, who grow wealthy by trafficking deadly fentanyl and even human beings. Texans are paying an especially high price for your failure, sometimes with their very lives, as local leaders from your own party will tell you if given the chance,” Abbott wrote.
