Texas Gov. Greg Abbott resists conservatives’ pleas to declare border ‘invasion’
According to this article on The Dallas Morning News, by Robert T. Garrett
“AUSTIN — Gov. Greg Abbott is resisting staunch conservatives’ pleas that he declare a migrant “invasion” is under way at the nation’s southern border.
Also Wednesday, Abbott disclosed that Texas has donated spools of razor wire to Coahuila, a Mexican border state. For weeks, to deter unauthorized migrants, Texas has been deploying concertina wire on its side of the Rio Grande River.
Appearing on “The Valley’s Morning News” on Edinburg’s KURV-AM, Abbott offered his most detailed explanation yet of why he hasn’t invoked war powers by officially declaring an “invasion” and letting state police arrest and deport undocumented immigrants.
“I’m not afraid of a court fight” with the administration of President Joe Biden, the Republican governor insisted.”
