Texas Governor Greg Abbott criticized President Biden’s open border policies, arguing on Fox News Sunday that Biden is using illegal immigrants as political pawns to appeal to progressive Democrats like AOC, while putting the country at risk through an invasion at the southern border caused by his “political games.”
Abbott also slammed New York City Mayor Eric Adams, saying Adams needs to stop talking boldly about the migrants Texas is busing to NYC and instead do his job, given the dangers in New York City under his watch as a sanctuary city.
Abbott asserted that Biden, not Texas, is responsible for the border crisis and that the president is prioritizing appeasing the Democratic party over protecting national security.
Abbott said, “The person who is actually using illegal immigrants as political pawns is Joe Biden. He has created this open border policy that has allowed illegal immigrants into our country to appeal to appease the far leftists and the Democrat party, folks like Ocasio-Cortez.”
“He is trying to win their support while at the same time destroying the country he is in charge of. He is the commander-in-chief. We are being invaded in ways that are putting our country at risk because of the political games that Joe Biden is playing,” he said.
He added, “Mayor Adams is aiding and abetting that by having a sanctuary of city status welcoming in anybody from across the world to live there or stay there, in New York City, on the bill of New York City. Mayor Adams needs to do is he needs to stop talking boldly about illegal immigration and the migrants that Texas is sending there, and he needs to step up and do his own job because look at the dangers of New York City under his watch.”
