Governor Greg Abbott was furious when Biden sent 1,500 more troops to the border.
It was not that he did not want to see more troops.
It was the fact that Biden is using them to help process migrants, not stop them from crossing in the first place.
So, Abbott took matters into his own hands.
I Got This
Abbott is adding 545 more Texas National Guardsmen to his “Texas Tactical Border Force.”
They are actually doing something to stop the crossings.
These troops have been lining up in hot spot crossings and adding barriers on the Texas side of the border.
The Texas National Guard stated, “These additional forces will bolster the thousands of Texas National Guard service members already assisting local and state law enforcement agencies to secure the border; stop the smuggling of drugs, weapons and people into Texas; and prevent, detect, and interdict transnational criminal behavior between the ports of entry.
“We have expanded our capabilities to include boat teams that patrol hundreds of river miles, drones and helicopters that detect illicit activity from the air, and brush teams, security points and roving patrols that block and interdict illegal smuggling (drugs, weapons and people) into Texas.”
Abbott added, “President [Joe] Biden is laying down a welcome mat to people across the entire world saying that the United States border is wide open, and it will lead to an incredible amount of people coming across the border illegally.
“President Biden’s open border policies is going to cause a catastrophic disaster in the United States.
“According to the Biden administration itself, they anticipate about 13,000 people coming across the border illegally every single day.
“If you extend that out over the course of a year, it means it will be about 4,700,000 people coming across the border a year.
“That will mean there will be more people coming across the border illegally than there are residents of the massive city of Chicago.”
Even with these measures, numbers are expected to explode this week with Title 42 coming to an end.
I hope all those sanctuary cities are ready because I know Abbott is dying to share some of the migrants with them.
